Went on a canyoneering adventure with Cage. It was just the 5 of us, and it was Ana amazing adventure! 2 fun repels into the canyons, and a scenic hike back out. Cage was the best guide! Highly recommend.

Red River Adventures! We went white water river rafting and we had Maggie as our guide. She was very helpful and polite. You get to go swimming in some spots if you would like to. You get to make a lot of great memories. Red Water River rafting keeps you occupied for the bus ride. They point out cool things. We had a amazing time, I would definitely do this again! 5/5 stars! Thank you! -Ella Muirhead

Absolutely fantastic experience with Red River Adventures in Moab! Our guide, Maggie, was exceptional. Her knowledge of the area and enthusiasm made the trip unforgettable. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rafting was both thrilling and enjoyable. Maggie ensured we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey, and her storytelling added a unique touch to the adventure. The whole team was professional and friendly, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Red River Adventure and be sure to ask for Maggie as your guide – you won't be disappointed! Five stars all the way!

Wonderful day trip! Friendly staff, safe knowledgeable River Guides, awesome equipment. Absolutely fantastic float! Why do I give 5 stars? Because they don't have 6!

Grace was a wonderful guide to our family of four, including our Autistic 9-year-old son, who had a blast in the raft. The heat, van ride in a life jacket and general sensory stimulation of the hot desert had him dysregulated, and they were very understanding. The half-day Fisher Towers tour was a safe and fun intro to rafting for our 6-year-old.

Such an amazing experience, especially for a first timer! I did the Morning Glory hike witth Kenzie who was such a great guide - clearly explaining the process, making it feel safe, and then sharing her knowledge about the local plants and other hiking spots. It was a nice easy, beautiful hike back.

My son and I went on the Bow and Arrow canyoneering adventure and had an outstanding experience! Such beautiful views. Our guide, Cage, was the best. He was super knowledgeable and friendly, with a chill vibe that made for an excellent morning. Our four rappels were each different in terms of height and terrain and were SO worth the hike. I would absolutely book with Red River Adventures again!

We had 6 people in our group and we had a great time! Our guide, Keira, was fantastic! She was friendly, talkative, and super knowledgeable! She made the trip fun! The rapids were simple and the float itself was full of gorgeous views and amazing scenery! I took off one star simply because I think it's pricey for a float that lasts an hour and a half but the trip itself was great!

Highly recommend! We were a group of 5 who went for a half day rafting tour on the Colorado river. There were total of 9 people on the raft including Jonas, big shoutout to him for being a great guide on the tour! It was a thrilling experience, even though the water on the day was timid, the rapids made it worth it. You can make the experience as wild as possible, play some games which might lead to you ending up in the river (life vest is a saviour) and quickly coming back up.

We couldn't have had a better rafting experience. Our guides were both incredibly professional and extremely fun, which made a highlight of our trip to Moab. Even on a 105-degree day, we were comfortable and had a blast. (And now I think my 9-year-old will grow up to become a river guide.) I'm really happy we chose Red River Adventures — and I can't wait to return to try one of your other excursions!

Demi journée de rafting sur le Colorado très sympa. La guide était au top. En plus de la navigation, elle nous a donné des informations sur la région, la nature environnante, sur la culture Mormon etc, c'était très instructif. Pour moi, c'était la première fois sur un raft et je me suis tout de suite sentie en confiance. Je recommande Red River Adventures.

We loved Red River! My boyfriend and I started our trip in Moab & were fortunate to have Cage as our rock climbing guide. It was the perfect morning excursion to try new types of climbing like crack climbing as both of us were used to only climbing in a gym. A week later, at the end of our trip, we came back for a rafting trip and got Cage as our guide again. He was great & gave us awesome recs for future climbs & rafting trips! Thank you Red River, we will definitely be back :)

My son & I had a great time climbing for the day. Having our guide Jon get us to awesome routes and just as importantly in the shade was great for a summer day of climbing. Even better was all the pointers for how to get some great photos to remember the trip. Would highly recommend Jon for anyone looking to get the most out of their climbing time here.

We did Rock of Ages with Cage as we wanted something a little challenging. What an incredible experience! The rappels were varied in length and style, and the hike through was gorgeous with so many different views. But Cage really made the day special. You can tell he loves his job and cares deeply about the outdoor adventure industry. We are chatty people who share a lot of his interests so it was a great match. Cage’s knowledge of local history, his explanations for what he was doing setting up ropes, and pointing out features of the canyon kept us engaged and excited the entire time. Thank you to Cage for such a great day!

Our half day white water rafting adventure was a great experience for whole family. This was due in part to the high energy and knowledgeable staff staff. Our raft guide “Liz” steered our raft into the rapids perfectly and informed us about all the great things that the river and Utah have to offer. Thanks Liz!

Our friend group of seven (4 adults, 3 kids - 13, 13, 9) had a great time with Liz. She took great care of us, taught us so much about the landscape, the water, and animals! She has great energy yet matched our vibe in the boat. We did the full day trip with lunch which was delicious! Highly recommend doing the full day as it takes 45 minutes to get to the site then do safety training. It was really amazing seeing the landscape from a different perspective!

We loved our half-day rafting trip with Red River. Their guides were engaged, fun, and knowledgeable. Our kids were a little nervous for their first white water and our guide did a great job at helping them to feel safe so they could have a great time. I’ve rafted the Colorado with other companies and will for sure book with Red River again next time we go.
