Adrift Adventures Dinosaur National Monument is a Jensen, Utah-based outfitter focused on guided river trips and water-based rentals in and around Dinosaur National Monument. The outfitter provides a spectrum of experiences ranging from a family-friendly One-Day Green River float for ages 6 and up to multi-day whitewater expeditions such as the Four-Day Gates of Lodore and the Five-Day Yampa River Rafting Trip.
Instructional programs include an eight-day Paddle Raft & Rowing School that teaches whitewater rowing, navigation, and rescue techniques, plus a Foil Center offering winging and foiling lessons with gear and small-group instruction. Seasonal offerings expand recreational options with the Double Shaka Aqua Park at Steinaker Reservoir — an inflatable course with slides, jumping towers, and obstacle features — and a selection of boat rentals including Sea-Doo wave runners, pontoons, and wake/ surf boats for day use.
Longer expeditions provide catered meals, guided route navigation, and Leave No Trace camping practices, while shorter floats include on-river guides and lunch. Equipment, expert instruction, and clearly described trip formats support skill-building and safe enjoyment for beginners through intermediate paddlers. Reservations are recommended for limited-spot trips and seasonal rentals. Located in Jensen, Utah, Adrift connects visitors to Green River and Yampa River experiences, instructional courses, and recreational waterpark and rental options within Uintah County and Dinosaur National Monument.
