White Water Rafting in Utah

Red River Adventures is the premier Utah white water rafting outfitter. We offer both full and half-day rafting trips in Moab on the Fisher Towers section of the Colorado River! Raft through the landscape that has made Moab famous. Used as the backdrop for movies, TV, and commercials for over 70 years, this is the landscape that draws millions to Moab and that you don’t want to miss. Run rapids, see wildlife, learn the history and geology of the Colorado Plateau, endure corny jokes, see “rocks that look like stuff,” and get recommendations on restaurants and other fun things from our local river guides.

Moab’s best guides, smaller and more fun paddle rafts, and limited group size makes for an incredible day filled with fun and excitement. It’s an experience that your family and friends will thank you for and that no other Moab outfitter can match.

Utah Rafting Full-Day Trips

We are proud of our Moab rafting day trips on the Colorado River. The full-day Fisher Towers rafting trip is the perfect amount of rafting and includes lunch! Not too long or too short, you will be delighted as the day unfolds and you return to Moab with a feeing of “just right!”

Nathan was a great guide for canyoneering! Very patient and helpful to literally talk you off a cliff! Thrilling experience and would highly recommend. Be prepared for rock scrambling through the canyon to get to the repels.

Great group of people. Did the rock of ages canyoneering tour. Great tour with 3 excellent repels and good canyons. Only problem is that it was advertised as a full day tour 8-2 but we finished by noon. Another 2 hours longer with more distance and adventure would have been best.

We booked a half-day rafting trip in early May, and although the river wasn't running high yet, the gorgeous scenery, along with our guide's knowledgeable banter about everything from rafting to bird nests and geology, made the ride thoroughly enjoyable. There was just enough action over the rapids to make it exciting, but not scary, for us novice rafters. This is definitely an experience I'll look forward to repeating the next time we visit!

My first ever white water rafting trip! We had very small rapids this time of year (class 1 and 2) still fun, we got wet, and had an opportunity to work together like a team. The staff is amazing. Jake was our river guide and was knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and even gave us tips about other cool things to do in the Moab area. Fantastic first experience!

We had such a great time on our four day cataract Canyon River trip! I took my 11-year-old stepson… Despite the first couple of days being a bit cold Due to unexpected surprise weather, the team of guides were amazing and made the whole experience fun! Seth, Annie, and Jake were all wonderful and I recommended the trip 100%!

If you're looking for a safe, fun, and rewarding rock climbing and canyoneering experience in Moab, look no further than the Red River Company and their guide, Nate. Nate was meticulous in ensuring all protocols were followed. He provided thorough demonstrations, double-checked our gear, and offered personalized tips that made a huge difference in our climbing technique. Nate also fostered a supportive and encouraging atmosphere within the group. It was clear he was invested in everyone having a positive experience.

April 2025 We did the Bow and Arrow Canyon Canyoneer Adventure. Nate was a great guide, very patient with two of us repelling for the first time. Felt as safe as one could, being nervous, going off 115ft repel. Would definitely recommend.

My boyfriend and I went on a 1/2 day canyoneering trip and our guide was Nate. Nate was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the land, historical facts, and repelling. We felt very safe and he was always very supportive and motivating with the repels! They had a very good variety of heights and the hike was a perfect length and came with amazing views!

Red River was amazing from start to finish. This was my first backcountry experience and the team was super helpful and answered all my questions as I planned the trip. The gear, instruction, and guiding were all top notch and I would absolutely recommend this company for any of your adventures, especially backcountry skiing. I couldn’t imagine a more knowledgable, helpful, patient, and fun guide - Victoria. She is a true professional and speaks very highly of the company. I definitely lucked out stumbling across their Facebook ad. They take safety very seriously but it doesn’t impede the fun at all. Thank you again for a great trip!

My daughter and I joined Red River Adventures on a mid-February Hokkaido Japan ski trip. We had unforgettable access to world class Hokkaido pow! Carl and his team were awesome. RRA checked all the boxes: Dialed-in Logistics (from airport to hotel to ski venues to dining), Quality lodging, Unique ski venues (away from the crowds), In-country connection with local guides, And most importantly, friendly and professional guides who were knowledgable with the ski terrain and also provided helpful general tips for more efficient touring and personal instruction- allowing us to really dial-in our powder skiing technique. We thoroughly enjoyed the company of our travel group and left Japan with big smiles and lasting memories.
