Moab Rafting Morning Half-Day Trip

Overview

Castle Valley is the poster child for Western landscapes, and you’ve probably already seen it somewhere in a John Wayne movie, TV show, or a commercial or two. 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 valley lined with monuments. Along the way are some of Utah’s most impressive geologic features like Fisher Towers, Castleton Tower, the Priest and Nuns, and more.

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!

95% of the rafting trip was fabulous which is why, in good conscience I can only leave a 4 star review. This was billed as a smooth ride with some class I or II rapids. But the water level was rather high and our guide got us caught in one severe section of rapids that washed over the entire boat, soaking everyone and everything. But he quickly got the raft stabilized and after taking another wave or two we were on our way, soaked, but safe.

Thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear you all got soaked, unfortunately with the increased snowmelt, the river has been moving even faster, making for a more wet ride! If you are looking for something calmer, we typically recommend joining us for a trip in July or August!

Great team of patient & knowledgeable guides, beautiful views and the perfect fit for our family of six. Chase was a fantastic guide- pointing out wild life, history & geological attributes. We'll try the overnighter expeditions next!

I contacted mild to wild a few weeks prior to getting to moab because I knew I wanted to go rafting while I was there. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to commit to a certain day/time slot and they we’re very accommodating. I traveled with my girlfriend in arches and canyon lands national parks prior to doing the rating trip and it was the perfect last thing we did in moab. We arrived at 830 and after safety orientation we were quickly on our way. The bus ride to the launch was short and beautiful. The instructors were quick to launch boats and we were on the water quickly. While rafting the Colorado my instructor Hadley was very knowledgeable about the River and it’s history. The ride was awesome and Hadley put us in the right spot to enjoy the rivers best rapids. I really enjoyed my time with mild to wild and already want to plan a trip back to moab for a full day with them! I highly recommend this company!
