After another tour operator cancelled our tour at the last minutes, Mike with Adrift Adventures was able to get us a morning tour of Canyonlands National Park on VERY short notice. Bonuse: the price was better than the tour that cancelled! Mark was our tourguide and he was exceptionally skilled and knowledgable. He is very passionate about the park and the surrounding area. He also showed us the REAL location where Thelma and Louise drove their car into the "Grand Canyon" and you could definitely visualize the scene! The jeep used for the tour was newish, clean and well appointed. Mark was prompt and the tour was a great success. Mark and Mike were easy to work with and I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND using them for your Moab adventures.
Thanks for the nice review!
We had an outstanding experience with Adrift Adventures in Moab touring Dead Horse Point State Park and Canyonlands National Park. The scenery alone was spectacular, but what made the day truly memorable was our guide, Jerry. Jerry was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about the area. He didn't just point out the sights—he brought the landscape to life with fascinating explanations about the geology, how the canyons were formed, and the history behind Dead Horse Point. What I especially appreciated was hearing the local perspective and stories that you simply wouldn't get by driving through the parks on your own. Jerry was engaging, patient, and always willing to answer questions. His knowledge of the region added tremendous value to the tour and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the incredible beauty and history of southeastern Utah. If you're visiting Moab and considering a guided tour, I highly recommend Adrift Adventures, and if you're lucky enough to get Jerry as your guide, you're in for a fantastic day. This was one of the highlights of our entire western road trip. Thank you, Jerry, for an unforgettable adventure! — Mickey and Sandy
Thank you!
Mark was amazing. He was entertaining and knowledgeable. He was also careful to point out the National Park rules and etiquette. We booked here based on their fairly complete website and ease of contact. The reviews were all good. We were not disappointed.
Thank you!
Wonderful experience! Mark was very personal and had great customer service. We will refer him to all our friends. Very knowledgeable
Thank you!
Our half day trip with Adrift Adventures was wonderful! Roz, our guide, was so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The time flew by and all too quickly it was time to leave this amazing natural wonder. My husband and I both highly recommend.
Thank you!
We originally scheduled a full day trip but there was a chance or rain which menat there was a chance of flooding so we had to change to a different route but it was still a great trip. We ended up doing a half day Canyonland trip and Mark did a fantastic job! He was very knowledgeable and showed us lots of great scenery - definitely recommended. We saw lots of great scenery and petroglyphs along the way and Mark definitely did a good job.
Thank you!
