Utopia - Hark, gentle folk and noble travelers! Attend ye to my tale of valor and merriment upon the rushing waters, under the esteemed guidance of Adrift Adventures and the virtuous guide, Claire. Upon the dawning of a recent day, I did embark upon a most exhilarating journey, wherein the foaming river did serve as our steed. Adrift Adventures, with its renown for splendiferous excursions, did prove to be a beacon of trust and expertise. The sturdy vessel, craft’d with great care, did bear us safely through torrents and eddies, a testament to the fine craftsmanship and careful attention provided by this esteemed company. But let me extol the virtues of our noble guide, Claire. With a countenance as bright as the morning sun and a spirit of unwavering resolve, she did steer us through perilous waters with the skill of a seasoned mariner. Her commands, both clear and wise, did instill confidence and courage in the hearts of all who embarked upon this voyage. Claire's knowledge of the river, its whims and fancies, did appear boundless, as though she were in league with the very spirits of the waters. In moments where the river raged and roared like a lioness, Claire's steadiness did quell our fears. With a voice as calm as a summer’s breeze, she imparted both safety and delight, transforming treacherous passages into thrilling conquests. At intervals of respite, she regaled us with tales and lore, enriching our journey with the charm of her wit and wisdom. Thus, I do declare, with a heart full of gratitude and a spirit uplifted, that Adrift Adventures and the illustrious guide Claire provide an experience most extraordinary. Should ye seek a journey of both thrill and joy upon the waterways, look no further than this noble enterprise. Verily, thou shalt not be disappointed. So ends my account, in humble reverence to the joy and adventure that did befall us. Adrift Adventures and the fair Claire, I salute thee!

The best adventure ever - The best adventure ever. The kids loved it and the guide was a supreme stand up guy. The guide had the same humor as a Scandinavian and was pretty good saying “rød grød med fløde” (danish). I would recommend adrift any time and if you want to have fun at the same time remember to ask for Jacob for your guide. He is a outstanding young guy. He made us laugh the whole trip. Best regards From Denmark

Adrift Adventures - TOP NOTCH! - I've been going on Westwater trips almost every year for over 20 years for friends and co-workers. Myke Hghes runs a first rate top notch adventure company. This year, with the Colorado River running at around 11,000 cubic feet per second resulted in fast water and big rapids. Our boatman, Ethan, was exceptionally skilled (he rowed us through Skull Rapid with ease - a perfect run!) and had an encyclopedic knowledge of boats, the river, the geology, and the history. It was a pleasure to see him again (he was our boatman from last year). I will continue to choose Adrift for rafting Westwater to get my whitewater fix and tointroduce my friends and colleagues to advetnuring Moab syle.

Ethan was so knowledgeable/experienced. Felt secure with him as our guide. Why no women oarsmen? - Why no women guides? Ethan was so knowledgeable/experienced. Felt secure with him as our guide. Why no women oarsmen?
