Amazing experience, outstanding scenery, best guides!

The rafting on the Colorado River with Red River Adventures was my very first one but I felt very comfortable because I got a special training from our guide, Larry, beforehand. The rapids made me a bit scared before we started but after the first one I was pumped with adrenaline and couldn’t wait for the next to come. If you are a beginner too, don’t worry! There were lots of children taking part in it. Our guide was on the boat the whole time. He led the group, gave us instructions and told us some interesting facts about Moab, Onion Creak and even movies which were shot there (e.g. „The Lone Ranger”). There was also a delicious & healthy lunch (with lots of fresh vegetables) in the middle of the trip, prepared by the guides. And the landscape was just unbelievable! The tour was perfectly organized. I recommend it to everyone. Thank you Red River Adventures! And special thanks to Larry!

A great experience

The guide was great and told us to relax. The rapids were great and we always felt safe. Lunch was also freshly prepared and was extensive. All in all, a great day with great experiences and good information. I can only recommend the day tour.
