Choose either a half-day or full-day trip and enjoy an incredible rafting excursion for the whole family. With various departures during the day at 9:00 am, 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, the half-day trip can fit into most schedules.

4A pleasant river drift for most of way, but still great way to experience the river
As others have mentioned, don’t expect too much in the way of rapids and adrenaline as this tour is primarily a gentle float down the river for 90% of the time. But it is still a good option to experience in Moab and is efficiently run and makes for an enjoyable afternoon trip.
5Great fun
We very much enjoyed our river trip! Our guide Nate was very knowledgeable about the area, the history of Moab, and flora and fauna. Throughout the trip, he kept telling us local lore and anecdotes from around that part of Utah. We got to jump in the river to swim to enjoy the cold water of the Colorado. I am a kayaker so getting out on the little Ducky was fun! Thank you for a great trip!
5Good experience
Steve is the best guide ever. He made the trip so much fun with his laughter and knowledge of the area
5Relaxing and informative float down the river
This a very relaxing easy float. Can be enjoyed by all ages. We received lots of information about the area both geographically and locally recommended sites from our host Nate. Nate was a very enjoyable host.
5Relaxing day on the river
It was a relaxing day on the river. The water was very low so it was a slow float. Our daughter loved getting out of the boat to swim in the river as well as going down the little rapids at the end.
5Wonderful experience
Wonderful experience, smooth float down the Colorado river with a few rapids included. Nice lunch served by the river

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.
