View Profile

Based in Moab, Utah, Adrift Adventures features a variety of kayak, jeep and raft vacations in the most rugged and beautiful canyon country of Utah, which includes Canyonlands National Park, the wild Colorado River and Green Rivers, the Fisher Towers and Arches National Park.

Ride the whitewater force that created all of this geologic splendor on a river trip through the renowned Cataract Canyon of the Colorado River, or scenic Desolation Canyon of the Green River. If overland 4x4 adventures are more your taste, let our skilled, professional guides take you on a jeep tour, paddle boarding, or kayak tours through the little-known magnificent Landscapes of Canyonlands.

Adrift Adventures offers the finest whitewater outfitting and equipment in the Moab area. Whether you are riding in a raft or jeeping in a four-wheel drive vehicle, you can be assured all of our facilities and equipment are designed to afford you the most enjoyable experience possible. Our food is the finest on the river. Menus feature juicy steaks, halibut or salmon, chicken, fresh salads, melons, lasagna and more. We can also prepare low-fat/low cholesterol, gluten-free and vegetarian menus for those who prefer.

Let our licensed and experienced guides take you on a vacation you’ll reminisce about for years.
