Moab Rafting Afternoon Half-Day Trip

Overview

Castle Valley is the poster child for western landscapes, and you’ve probably already seen it somewhere in a movie, TV show, or commercial. And if somehow you have, in fact, never laid eyes on Castle Valley before, you’re not going forget it once you do!

This serene section of the Colorado River moseys through a big beautiful red-rock canyon. As for the waters here along the Colorado River, it stays pretty warm from late spring to early fall.

You’ll spend most of your time floating, with a few Class II rapids to cool you off along the way. Expect plenty of fascinating interpretations and fun stories from your river guide on this mild trip!

Absolutely fantastic. It was late in the season and the river was low, so the trip was not about the thrill of rapids -- though there were some very small ones -- but about the glory of the landscape and its wildlife. Our guide/pilot was quite knowledgeable and very funny, and his obvious love for the area made us love it as well. He was very excited to spot bighorn sheep far above the river, within Arches National Park; a glimpse of them was a treat for us all. Well worth it.

Had a really wonderful experience today rafting with Ben as our guide. The scenery and water were beautiful. Ben was personable, knowledgeable, lighthearted, and made our experience exactly what we needed it to be. Should I have the chance to enjoy another raft trip in Moab, I am certain I want Ben as my guide.

We had a great time rafting on the Colorado River. Our guide, Dean was very knowledgeable about the area, pointing out movie locations and birds; bald eagle, great blue heron. He even pointed out a nice area to jump in and float alongside the boat. Lots of fun.
