Our family had a great time! Not everyone loves to hike and repel like I do so I was stoked we all made it through all the repels! Noah was a great guide and the hike and views of the Bow and Arrow were as amazing as the repelling!
Today was an amazing day filled with sunshine and laughter. Erin made our trip the best trip ever! We can’t wait to do it again.
We had a full day rafting trip at Moab, certainly one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. The scenery was glorious and the staff at Red River were all great, especially our fantastic guide Sofia. I highly recommend this for anyone, the rapids are just enough to be exiting without being scary and the guides are fantastic at talking you through each stage. A great time was had by all.
Great rafting guide service. Well organized, family-friendly, informative and adventurous! Our guide, Luke, was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a great way to spend a day in Moab.
1st rafting trip for my young kids (5 & 6 y/o). Had a blast! Highly recommend this company. Sam is amazing! Lots of history explained to us. If you're debating between a 1/2 day or full day trip...- do FULL day! We saw the 1/2 day people get off & for us it would have been too short.
My husband and daughter did a rappelling trip today (Morning Glory) and they had an excellent time with their guide Emily. She was a great hostess, very knowledgeable.
It was a fun time. We did the half day raft trip which was one hour driving time (30 mins there and back) and 2 hours on the water. It was fine for me but I think our teens would’ve like a little more action. This was a pretty calm ride with a couple of good rapids. The scenery was beautiful. The guides were interesting and professional. We felt very safe. They got us in very last minute which was really nice. No snacks but they do have cold water to fill your bottle.
We had lots of fun and our guides were great at teaching us safety, getting us through the funnest parts of the rapids and sharing insights about the area’s history and ecosystem.
It was a wonderful experience, especially on the Father’s Day. We took the 1/2 day am raft and it was super fun! McKayla was our guide and she was amazing. She allowed my 9 year old to have a “bull ride” on the boat. She made us row the boat & that was super fun. She kept us engaged with all the interesting stories. All people at the ‘Red River Adventures’ are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly. and follow every safety protocols. I would highly recommend Red River Adventures. One word of caution: we booked on a Sunday and their photographer is NOT available on Sundays.
My husband and I had the most exhilarating experience today. We both are deaf and our guide, Bre, who knows sign language was able to communicate with us all the way from the beginning.- from the bus to the river, on the River, and back. Truly a great experience. Thanks, Bre!
Red river adventures was amazing! Their guides were great! Half day tour was the perfect amount. Great scenery! Mostly a float than white water rafting since the rapids were small - perfect for families - or someone who just wants the view!
We had a lot of fun on the river. The guides were knowledgeable and fun. The rapids were just big enough that the kids thought they were fun and not scarey. My only disappointment was that there was not a big enough raft for our group of 9 to go together. Otherwise it was fun and Red River did a good job! Thanks
We had so much fun canyoneering with Dan! He was a great guide. It was a highlight of our trip for both myself and my kids. Great scenery and an exciting but safe adventure. Highly recommend!!
It was our first raft trip. You made our experience a great memory. Our guide Alex was so sweet and her knowledge was impressive. My grandchildren have been on cloud 9 and continue to talk about how much fun it was. Thank you so much! Denise Arruda Dolores, Colorado
We had a great time on the River! It was my daughters first rafting trip and our guide was able help her enjoy it and gave all of us some history of the area along the way. Lots of fun! Thanks!
Went on Bow and Arrow. Adam is one of the best guides in Moab. Had awesome time.
Great trip with Conner and Erin and Hudson. Beautiful place with pretty good rapids. Fun trip, and you will get soaked 😊
Had a great tour! The half day felt long enough and the guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
White Water Rafting Fisher Towers in mid June. Excellent service and experience starting with booking. Upon arrival staff was polite and informative, focusing on safety, education and fun. Our guide Lily was AWESOME! Our raft was a combo two separate groups and she did an awesome job bringing us together and ensuring everyone had a great time. She was knowledgeable about the topography, pointing out tons of great things we would have missed. She also gave us AMAZING insider tips on the best places to swim in the area. Looking forward to our next trip already!
We had a wonderful trip today with Alex as our guide. Staff were professional and, most importantly, fun. This stretch of the Colorado is great for people wanting to try out rafting but also for veterans looking for a fun day. Strongly recommend this outfit and trip!
Our guide was friendly and outgoing, which made the ride very fun and enjoyable. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the terrain. The whole crew was out to give us the best experience and to have a great time. I would recommend this company to any one that wants to have a great time.
Our guide (Bree) was great. The wind sucked but, that is out of Red River's control. Bree did a great job making the trip fun inspire of the wind.
This tour was absolutely awesome! We had our 6 and 9 year old with us and they loved the rapids as well.
Staff were very polite, and explained what was expected thoroughly more than once. Once on the River, Lily did a great job navigating and explaining what we needed to do, the experience overall was great and I would recommend anyone I knew to this company.
Great half day adventure! If you’re looking to optimize your stay in Moab, or have the afternoon off like I did, what is better than spending it on water, having fun? Not much, in my opinion. After doing my research, I decided to go on a Whitewater Rafting adventure and chose Red River Adventures. It turned out to be a great decision! Super friendly, fun and helpful staff & crew. Smaller-sized rafts, max 6 plus the guide, allows for getting to know the folks who literally are in the same boat as you. Our guide, Sofia, was stellar! Fun, sweet and yet decisive and firm when needed to. I was impressed by her command of the group, the raft and what to do - and she’s only 18! (Sorry for “ratting out your age” ;-). Going through initially pretty easy rapids, we got “schooled” along the way as the rapids grew wilder. Paddling through an area of crazy waves and rapids, with the raft surfing on top of every crest, was thrilling and we all squealed of excitement! Only problem was that it ended too soon… I guess I have to come back and do the full day next time! Spectacular way to spend your afternoon, great experience and energizing fun!
Awesome time! The bad: the high winds, which meant extra paddling esp when we were pushed backwards :) Our amazing guide, Luke had it under control - getting us out of wayward bushes to setting us up to perfectly ride the rapids. The good: the high winds kept us cool on the river where there is no shade. Very smooth operation, everyone extremely upbeat and professional. Tons of water for refills. They do provide dry bags on the rafts to hold phone and keys; or bring your own.
We had a wonderful day rafting with Red River Adventure. Our guide, Hudson, was knowledgeable and friendly. It was quite a windy day, but he helped us safely navigate the trip. All of the guides were friendly and had a great sense of humor.
The guides did a great job. Meredith was very good and was a pleasure to have guide us. She was smart, funny and had a beautiful spirit about her. Overall, the trip was fun but overpriced as another rafting company was less expensive and provided lunch. I guess if the other company was available we wouldn't have had our awesome guides though so it worked out after all.
Canyoneering at morning glory with red river was an amazing experience. Our tour guide, who was Dan, was an amazing and awesome guide. He was extremely patient and very helpful with my kids and even helped bring down one of my kids during the repelling parts. I would definitely go through them again and encourage others to do the same. You won't regret it. It's an experience me and my kids will remember for the rest of our lives.
A really fun crew of guides and a well run business. Our 12 year old said the 1/2 day on the river rafting with Red River was the highlight of our 2 weeks trip.
Excellent well run trip on the hottest afternoon of the week so far. Great way to escape the heat and the folks were amazing.
What an incredible experience. The team at Red River was great. Our guide, Emily, was fantastic, shared information and made sure we were safe through our Canyoneering trip. We had a fantastic time and look forward to other trips with them again in the future.
Amazing saftey and Instructions was very happy with services that were provided as well as saftey procedures in place
Great guides. Awesome river. Very cool experience. I would definitely do it again.
We enjoyed our trip. Sam shared a lot of history of the area with us on our trip. She was a great navigator. We enjoyed ourselves.
Great guides that were enthusiastic. Everything went smoothly and was on time. We did the half day trip. The only disappointment was that there were only class 2 rapids and no class 3 rapids.
We had the best time. Our guide, Claire, was very helpful, personable and professional. If we are ever back in the area (and hopefully we are) we will 100% be booking a trip with Red River Adventures. The 1/2 day trip was absolutely perfect.
Great trip. Noah was our guide - funny, helpful, and safe. The other team members were super friendly. Highly recommend Red River!
Brie made sure we all had fun. Knowledgeable, fun and full of fun stories and facts.
My son and I had a great time on the Bow and Arrow trip. We were beginners but felt very safe and competent after brief instructions. Such a great way to enjoy the outdoors in Moab! Thanks for the memorable trip.
The guides are knowledge and entertaining. Had a great time at a fair price
This was a great group of guides, they cut up and have fun. We had Ryan for our guide his stash was worth a 5 star. The river time was only 1 1/2 hours long but it had some good rapids for us as our small one is 6. Good rafting for beginners or kids. Happy overall.
We had a great experience! Dan was a wonderful guide. The four rappelling trips were fun and each had a slightly different technique. Also the trail was beautiful and took us to a trail we wouldn’t have found on our own. Would highly recommend.
Fun rafting experience for kids and beginners. We have done several rafting trips, and decided to take our kids on their first one. We went on June 1st and the rapids were pretty mild, perfect for our kids. The guides were sweet too! Make sure you tip these college kids well!
