Highlights
Enjoy an afternoon in canyon country on the Colorado River with Moab's premier boutique adventure outfitter. This rafting trip covers 7 miles of river, including class I-III rapids (depending on seasonal flows) and plenty of flatter areas for taking a dip and some tranquil floating. We frequently spot wildlife along the way including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, great blue herons, desert bighorn sheep, mule deer, beavers and river otters. Trips are capped at 25 guests and transportation is conducted in air-conditioned vans. Wild West Voyages features top-notch pro guides and clean gear. Wild West Voyages is known for its smaller group tours and high emphasis on safety, fun, and the educational component of the tour. Your guide is well-read in the area's human history, geology, biodiversity, local lore and current events. We can't wait to share it with you!

After check-in, your group will enjoy air-conditioned transportation along the world-class scenic Highway 128 on the way to the river. After a group safety talk and PFD (flotation vest) fitting, we launch on the Colorado River. Look for wildlife along the route: you might see bald eagles, river otters, great blue heron, migratory bird species, desert bighorn sheep, beavers, gray fox, and more. Your guide is educated in geology, flora, fauna, and human history of the area and can't wait to share with you! This family-friendly stretch of river is characterized by calm water sections (ideal for taking a dip on a hot day) punctuated by class I-III rapids (depending on seasonal flows). Splash factor is biggest in May and June.
Enjoy photographic views of the stunning Fisher Towers, which preside over the valley where your river trip begins.

About Moab
Moab is a small red-rock town in south-east Utah, beside the Colorado River and the gateways to Arches and Canyonlands national parks.
Moab sits in a valley of red sandstone cliffs beside the Colorado River in south-east Utah, with the snowy La Sal Mountains rising to the east. It began as a farming settlement in the 1870s, a uranium boom in the 1950s brought a rush of prospectors, and today it is a base for outdoor travel. Arches National Park lies just north, with more than two thousand natural stone arches, including Delicate Arch.
