I highly recommend booking a rafting trip through this company! I brought a group of middle school students to raft the Gates of Lodore section of the Green River with... read more Dinosaur River Expeditions. They created an incredible experience for the students, from fun days on the river to hilarious games at camp and incredibly good food. I had students crying the day we left because they had so much fun and didn’t want to leave. Dinosaur River Expeditions is also the only local guiding company in Vernal. They are amazing people and very experienced!

We did the day trip down the Green from Spillway (Flaming Gorge Dam) to Little Hole on August 21, 2022. We had such an amazing time! The river itself is... read more absolutely gorgeous and the rafting in exhilarating but by far the best attribute of the experience was the captains (guides). Donovan (Dino) was such a charismatic, mischievous, knowledgeable guy. He knew the history of the canyon (John Wesley Powell), the geologic formations, the current mining operations, etc. As a local Vernal-ite, he had massive amounts of information to share about the area. I'm an introvert and he had me fully-engaged for 6-hours straight. It was also so fun to meet others sharing the same raft and get to know them. I would HIGHLY recommend the day trips and I can't wait to book a 5-day trip in the spring. The price for the day trip was outstanding. Such a great deal. Thanks so much!

If you are looking to reconnect with nature all I can say is wow. Stunning scenery. Exciting rapids. Incredible time spent on a true adventure. Worth every single penny. Special... read more thanks to our incredible guides (Ben, Jacoby, Austin, Davis, Peyton, and Donovan) who were professional, courteous, fun loving, and true river rats. Appreciate the education about the areas history. Thanks to you Austin, I have new respect for what you do after getting a turn at the oars. Last, but not least, Yeehaw, but not on my front porch. 😜
