Colorado River Rafting: Half-Day Morning at Fisher Towers
Description
The Fisher Towers section of the Colorado River is heavy on scenery, with some fun rapids (depending on the water level/time of year). This is an area where many motion pictures and commercials have been filmed over the years. John Wayne and John Ford filmed a lot of old westerns in this area. Most recently filmed in this area was The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp & Armie Hammer (2013).

As advertised. Very good. Good equipment. Trained and knowledgeable staff.
Thank you!
What a great time! Our guide, Kai (sp?), was fantastic! That lady is truly amazing! The family that was supposed to go, too, canceled as high winds were forecast, so it ended up being just us and Kai. There was some wind, but you would have never known it the way Kai handled that raft! Beautiful scenery, a fun lunch on a beach and lots of laughs, because Kai was so very pleasant, made for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this company and its tours!

Thank you!
Disappointing. We were so excited to go whitewater rafting, but our guide didn't know the river at all, resulting in us hitting multiple rocks, getting stuck, and even moving backwards (!!) at one point. This is also NOT whitewater rafting - there were maybe two rapids in the whole excursion (in the biggest one we hit 2 rocks), so it's really a float trip. Combining that slow pace with someone not strong enough to row, and not having knowledge of the river, made the trip boring and awkward. At one point, when we were stuck, our guide mentioned that other tour companies give the passengers paddles so they can move faster. I wish we had gone with one of those tour companies! Definitely choose another option.
Kelly....We reached out to you and left a voicemail last week. We'd like to offer a credit of some sort but had not heard back from you. I know the two guides on that trip had their hands full as did all the river company guides that day with 21 mph upstream winds. The guide you had was a 30 yr guide and had been down that section several times. I reviewed the trip description on Viator as this trip is listed as scenic with a couple of smaller rapids and all based on water levels. I know we have posted on Viator the Westwater Canyon with the larger 3-4 rapids but that is a full day and considerably higher in price. Again, our apologies and if there is anything I can do to let me know.
Superb Colorado descent with our very friendly and attentive Guide Claire throughout this route. Very nice experience.
Thank you
My family of 5 (3 teenagers) had a blast. The water was a bit low which made this pretty "tame" but that's how it goes in August. If you want a bit more try June. Liam (our guide) was great and it was a perfect way to take a break from all of the hiking in the area. The half day was plenty but that may have changed if it was a bit faster/more exciting.
Thank you!
Claire was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide! Perfect organisation from Adrift Adventures, smooth sailing all the way :)
If there were more stars to give, I would. The owner, Mike, was the best. When I first called to make our reservation Mike was very informative and helpful. On the day of our trip everything was so easy going, and the trip down the river with our guide Liam was fantastic. I highly recommend this company. Truly a great experience. Thanks Mike and all the Adrift staff for making our Moab vacation a memorable one!
Thank you!
We have done this short, beautiful trip several times and it is always fun. This time we had a great river guide named Claire. She was fun, friendly and full of great stories. She helped fellow boaters feel like friends, steered us through rapids with ease and made us all laugh. She deserves the praise and a raise for a job well done. Thank you, Claire and Adrift adventures for another great Moab experience!
Thanks
Wonderful adventure with our guide Claire! She is bringing fun and knowledge to support the great expérience from adrift
Thank you!
Peaceful trip down the Colorado River in the morning. Just enough of small rapids to make you smile. Our Guide, Liam, was great!
Thank you....
