With a perfect track record and nearly a thousand glowing reviews, this local outfitter consistently delivers memorable Colorado River adventures. Travelers rave about the exceptional guides—Nate, Hunter, Santos, Shawn, and Lillian get mentioned by name repeatedly—who bring deep knowledge of the river, local history, and wildlife to every trip. They're equally praised for their personality, making nervous rafters feel at ease and creating bonding experiences for groups of all ages and skill levels. The company offers everything from kayak rentals with shuttle services to guided SUP adventures and multi-day canyoneering trips, with flexibility that keeps families coming back for seconds. Recent reviewers highlight spotting eagles and bighorn sheep, navigating fun rapids (nothing too intense), and the guides' ability to read the water perfectly. The laid-back, competent staff and family-friendly approach make this a standout choice whether you're trying whitewater for the first time or looking for a unique way to experience Moab's stunning scenery.
We had a truly brilliant experience with this group last week. We chose the flat water afternoon kayak. It was the perfect activity after our hikes and national parks days. Our guides Klee and Teal were both very friendly informed and fun. They take your safety very seriously and did a very thorough briefing before we got in the water. It was reassuring to know they wanted everyone to have fun but also be safe. The experience itself was the stuff of bucket list dreams. Lazy river for a few miles with the huge red cliffs either side. Honestly could have done this every day it was so peaceful and good. Great job Klee and Teal. (Plus the other guy who helped unload the boats I’m sorry I can’t remember his name) 6 stars :)
