Moab River Trips
Our hometown, Moab, Utah is known as the “Adventure Capital” of the southwest, for good reason! Moab provides easy access to world-class outdoor activities including mountain biking, jeep tours, canyoneering, rock climbing, and hiking in Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, and Dead Horse Point State Park. But, most importantly, Moab’s long tradition of whitewater rafting and physical location make it the perfect base for your river trip!
Moab is the birthplace of whitewater rafting in Utah, and we’ve spent countlesstrips over the past four decades perfecting each and every one of our trips, which means you will have an unforgettable experience no matter what trip you choose.
Moab’s proximity to world-class rivers is also unparalleled. Whether you have a day, a weekend, or a week or more; you’ll find that Moab is a great base for your trip. For example, both Fisher Towers and Cataract Canyon, two of our most popular trips, are only 30 minutes away. Desolation Canyon is a 45-minute scenic flight; while our sea kaying trip through Labyrinth Canyon is less than an hour away. Our longest drive, to Westwater Canyon, is only an hour and a half away, and is one of our most popular day trips!
