We tookricer rafting, a morning round. The team was fantastic and fun! We had kids with us who thoroughly enjoyed their first rafting exp! Team made it safe for kids to jump in the water, swim, sit on raft's nose. The Red River team has great crew, boats and take sound care about managing risks and gave us good walk through Do's and don'ts. Overall a wonderful experience as we redid rafting with Red River after 14yrs!

My husband and our 2 teenagers had a great time with this fun group! We especially enjoyed the raft guides’ jokes and games, including: “rocks that look like other things” and searching for “rockadile babies and Moab flamingos!” Dallin was a joyful and knowledgeable guide. He was very patient with our silly fam :) We will happily load up on their “brown whale” and be “sardines” on their awesome red rafts again soon!!

We had the best time! Steph was super kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. He taught us so much about the dinosaur tracks and petroglyphs we saw, and even educated us about the cryptobiotic soil along the way. The rappel adventure was definitely what we were there for, and it did not disappoint! It started off a little easier, but it definitely got more intense as we went. You won’t walk away feeling like you signed up for a toddler adventure 😂, but you also won’t feel like you’re in over your head. It was the perfect balance of fun, adventure, and challenge!

Even when the river wasnt as exciting, the guides were awesome and made the trip memorable for us. Would do it again only with them.

We chose a canyoneering expedition, and the experience was great! I was a first-timer, and our guide, Steph, was top-notch!

Top tier adventure company! My family and I had the pleasure of doing the half day canyoneering tour paired with the half day rafting tour. Steph (aka Jimmy) was our guide for canyoneering and we were beyond impressed. He did a great job of educating us on petroglyphs and local flora/fauna as we hiked into the canyon. My eight year old daughter also did the canyoneering tour and Steph went above and beyond coaching her through the rappels. As a parent I was most impressed by his attention to detail and safety. Rafting in the afternoon was also a great experience. Molly (aka Jersey Mikes) was our rafting guide and she also did an exceptional job and made sure everyone on the boat had a great experience. The other rafting guides on our tour were Ainsley and Seb; they were also very engaging and made the short bus trip more enjoyable with their comedy :-) Highly recommend this company. All of the staff that we encountered were friendly and seemed to truly enjoy what they do.

We had a great time on this rafting trip! It is a tame river, perfect for kids (it was my kids' first time), and a beautiful backdrop. The guides were great.

Booked a full-day 1-on-1 trad class with Red River Adventures on short notice and it was one of the best days I've spent on rock. I came in as a relatively new trad leader — solid on movement, but still pretty heady about my own gear. I explained where I was and what I wanted out of the day, and Carl met me exactly there. No canned curriculum, no dumbing it down. He watched me place, corrected me where I needed it, and critiqued placements I would have walked away from thinking were fine. The part I valued most was the reasoning. We covered protection selection and *why* certain pieces work in certain features — the kind of thing you can read about for months without it clicking. He also went through my entire rack piece by piece and walked me through what I was carrying, what I should be carrying, and why. I had no idea how much of my rack was there out of habit rather than intention. That conversation alone changed how I'll approach every route from here on. He also cleared up a few misunderstandings I'd picked up secondhand and never questioned. Having someone qualified put those to bed was worth the price of the day by itself. Carl was honest about what I was ready for and what I wasn't, confirmed my capabilities, and turned me loose. I left with a much clearer head and a much better sense of what I'm actually looking at when I'm deciding where to put a piece. If you're stuck between following your friends and leading your own routes, this is money well spent. Highly recommend.

We had a blast. Aaron was a great tour guide! Great stories and was very helpful with my wife who is not a fan of water!

Had a few days to kill in Salt Lake City and hired a guide (Carl) to show me some multi pitch in the area. Awesome service, I’ll definitely be back

Melissa Bardsley

We had a fantastic time. 2 moms and 3 kids, everyone loved our time on the river and the bus! Aaron was hilarious and a great guide. We definitely recommend renaming the last rapid “Hank’s Bubble Bath”.

Our group had such an amazing time with Red River Adventure and their crew! It was a great experience in total, entertaining as well as very cost effective. The owner, Carl, even made a point of reaching out to me multiple times during the booking process to answer my questions. I will definitely book with them again.

We loved this trip. Aaron was hilarious, informative, and professional. Being on, and in!, the water was an awesome way to spend an afternoon. Or, in a word, epic.

On a passé un bon moment avec l'équipe de Red River pour profiter du colorado é rafting. Ballade paisible avec quelques rapides dont un dans lequel on peut se jeter dans l'eau. Les enfants ont beaucoup aimé

We booked canyoneering and white water rafting for our day and it did not disappoint. We were greeted right on time of our arrival by Steph who was our guide for canyoneering. We didn’t quite know what to expect and it was absolutely amazing. Steph was 10/10 and would rate him higher if we could. He provided knowledge, lots of laughs, and a calming presence during repelling. His attention and care to the two little ones in our group was amazing helping them. They re named him “Jimmy John” which provided great laughs he was an amazing sport with. Our next adventure was rafting with Molly (aka Jersey Mikes) who was also amazing. She knew exactly how to have a good time when the water was calm with rafting games and water gun fights. All of the guides were friendly and Ainsley’s jokes were top notch! If you are seeking adventure and fun don’t hesitate to book with Red River Adventures. They truly are #1 in our book!

This trip canyoneering with Steph was AMAZING. Extra care in talking about the beautiful land and history of the people who lived it for the past couple thousand years! Repelling is hard but so fun and it was overall a fantastic experience.

Great team at Red River Adventures. Knowledgeable and fun guide team. Molly was our guide and she was fantastic with keeping our group safe and cooled off with the high temps while sharing details of the amazing views from the Colorado River. Highly recommend!

All the guides in our group were great and we loved the jungle cruise-esque jokes on the bus. Dallin was our guide on the river and he was the best and made sure we had an awesome time! We have kids aged 5-15 and it can be hard to find things they all enjoy, but this checked all the boxes. We were told that Molly made the curry for lunch and we loved it and will try to dupe it at home. We would definitely do another trip with Red River!

Hannah Harrison

Our guide, Ansley, was fantastic! Each rapid, swimming in the river, hearing the majestic eagle call, and playing “rocks that look like stuff” was all stellar. 10/10 would recommend. Ps. Hanks bubble bath was our favorite rapid.

Roxanna Isaacs

So much fun!!! Our guide was awesome!! Thank you

Michael Vitols

Great Staff! Super welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended!

Laura Schultz

We really enjoyed our day whitewater rafting with Red River. Our guide, Seb, was fun and capable making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. We enjoyed the rapids, the chances to swim in the river, the geology lessons, wildlife and the jokes.

Jeff Shuff

Great time from the bus ride to drop off and the jokes that were told to the history of area and geological features and wildlife. We saw a beaver!!!

Wisconsin travelers here to bear-ify that Molly did in fact see a bear on our full day rafting excursion. We had a blast with Red River Adventure and their crew- the entire day was great and well organized! If you are looking for an adventure - check them out our family had a blast on the Colorado River. Molly was amazing -we learned lots of fun facts about the area, jumped in for a refreshing swim and lunch was awesome! I highly recommended Red River Adventure!

Red River Adventures was the absolute BEST! My family (5 of us…3 kids ages 16,14, and 12) had an amazing whitewater rafting float down the Colorado River with our super awesome guide Aaron. We saw lots of wildlife, including big horn sheep, and Aaron was not only super chill and hilarious, but very informative of the river and history of the area. The whole crew of Red River Adventures was awesome, actually! So much fun!! My kids had an absolute blast.

Seth Jones

Seb was a great guide and would recommend him to anyone.

Our group of tween boys LOVED it, as well as the adults!!! The guides were professional yet soooo full o’fun, and the raft ride had adventures abound. So glad this is the company we landed with!

Steven Henderson

The guides were terrific and fun. Ours took a personal interest in everyone in the raft. Safety was obviously a genuine concern, and having fun was a top priority. Although the rapids were basically only Class I, it was still a very fun ride with beautiful scenery.

Wir haben das Bow and Arrow Canyoning gebucht. Dauer ca 3h plus Fahrzeit. Wir hatten zu viert gebucht und einen eigenen Guide bekommen. Alles super professionell. Zuerst ein kurzes Abseilen zur Eingewöhnung und Kennenlernen der Handgriffe. Danach 3 unterschiedlich hohe Felswände. Die höchste war 35m hoch. Ob der Preis gerechtfertigt ist, muss jeder selbst wissen. Es war nicht günstig. Wir würden es aber sofort wieder buchen

Chuck M

We spent two days with Red River Adventures and had a blast! The guides were very professional, knowledgeable and we learned lot. I highly recommend this outfit if you’re ever in the Salt Lake City area.
