Make sure you bring sunscreen, hat and glasses. We went Aug 1st and the temp was 104. Jayden was AMAZING!! She would stop the boat and let us get off to swim whenever we were getting overheated. She was soo funny and full of knowledge of the area! Can't wait to come back in the future!!

Rafting guide Zach did a great job ensuring everyone including my kids had an amazing time. The tour included lots of relaxing floating time, helping cool everyone from the hot sun. The rapids are the right amount of thrill for my young children. Lastly we had a water cannon fight with multiple boats. I highly recommend the 1/2 day rafting adventure and give high praises to our guide Zach.

Fun family time

Our family had 4 kids, ages 10 and up. We were worried our trip would be too mellow with the low water level in the river, but it was still a great time. Between the extra kayak, swimming, and water fights we enjoyed ourselves. Our guide, Ally, was a wealth of knowledge of the area and a great encourager of fun. :) Despite temps >100 and full sun we weren’t too hot and nobody walked away with a sunburn. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended.

Our guide, Nathan, was great. Very safety oriented. Was well versed on all of the local flora and fauna. My husband, son, and I all got to dip in the Colorado River, which was super refreshing. And the views of the mountains was incredible. Highly recommended.

Extremely exciting, bumpy roller-coaster ride

Fantastic experience, great service (our Uber was canceled and we arrived 2 minutes after the tour was supposed to start and we could participate, thank you all!). We therefore were last in line. The only thing that was not super fantastic was that the driver in front of us did not stick to the rules. The machines are incredibly powerful. Be prepared to go down very steep rocks and be confronted with rocks as steep in the opposite direction. There are several breaks to catch your breath and regain a normal heart rate again. And we had rain and mud which made it even better. A wonderfully thrilling tour. Totally worth it!

Wonderful experience on the Colorado River! Our guides Kenny and Shaun were very personable and excellent at navigating the water. We were able to swim at various points and also float the rapids at a safely designated spot. Truly enjoyed and would highly recommend to all families looking for a great time rafting on the river in Moab!

Great Experience for River Running in Moab!

Everything we experience with Chance and Moab Rivertrippers was great from start to finish. The energy of everyone was fantastic. We had the full range of a young child, a pregnant mom, adults and older adults that all had a great day! Chance gave us his all to make sure we had fun, explained details of the river and history of the surrounding area.

Such a great 1/2 day on the Colorado River! It was chill but fun. Adam entertained us while Kendall rowed us along. While we helped her row some, we thought we’d participate more. Later I learned that she doesn’t like to make her guests “work”… so if you want to row more, maybe mention it to your guide.

Flatwater Fun: Stand Up Paddleboarding on the Colorado River

Victoria_Y, Apr 2026

Windy but Wonderful SUP Experience

This SUP experience was really enjoyable. Although it is marketed to all abilities, the unpredictable April weather in Moab made this a bit more challenging than a beginner level paddle. Our guides Jayden and Klee were both amazing and checked in on us regularly. We did have to fight some pretty strong winds for a lot of our paddle, but it was still a great experience for my 14 year old daughter and I. Jayden offered us opportunities along the way to pull off the river early if we felt like we were getting too tired. We stuck out the entire 6 mile trip and it was definitely worth it. Our guides offered helpful paddling tips, provided information about various cliffs and features along the river, and gave us great hiking suggestions to try while we are out here. We were able to see a variety of birds and a few otter dens along our paddle. Aside from the windy conditions, the trip was scenic and peaceful. It was a great way to spend an afternoon in Moab!

Lots of drive time

The whitewater part is maybe only 40 min but the drive there and back is about 3 hours total. There is plenty of other time on fairly flat river but the views and eagles and heron was great. Will was a great guide and did all the rowing / steering so if you want to paddle be sure to ask about it. Lunch was awesome!
