    About this experience

    Experience the beauty of a rafting trip along the Colorado River near Fisher Towers, a short drive from Moab. Seemingly untouched by civilization, the landscape of stunning red rock canyons cut by the Colorado River provides awe-inspiring vistas throughout the day. Between thrilling bouncy rapids, you can swim, take photos and listen as your guide shares informative commentary about the ecology, wildlife and human history of the region.  This full-day trip starts by rafting upstream from Moab near stunning Fisher Towers and cover a 14-mile (22-km) section of the Colorado River. A combination of stunning canyon scenery and splashy white water makes for a fun day and photographer’s dream. Between rapids, drift lazily between soaring canyon walls and marvel at the red rock landscape along the river. At lunchtime, your guides serve a buffet-style picnic during a stop on a riverside beach.

    Moab and the Colorado Rivet

    Our tour guide, Nathan, was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. The tour itself was enjoyable with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the water.

    Fab trip, Nate was Great!

    Would 100% recommend - we did the full day trip, with a stop for lunch. It was great fun, our guide Nate was full of interesting facts and was a fabulous guide. Thanks

    Wonderful with a great guide!!

    We spent the day on the Colorado River with Ali!! She was amazing!! She literally did all the work of paddling, and stealing. On this trip we did not have to paddle, so we got to just sit back and relax!! We saw all the other companies with their large groups of people, and appreciated the small group (there was only seven of us plus our Ali)!!! The whole experience was wonderful and relaxing. I would totally recommend Navtec to anyone wanting to enjoy the day with low crowds and a lovely trip down river!!

    Response from the operator: Hi Victoria, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a five star review and highlight Allie being the super star she is! We are so glad to hear that you were able to relax and enjoyed the small group nature of our trip. We'd be happy to take you on another adventure anytime. Best, Sierra

    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.

    Response from the operator: Hi Gina, We are glad to hear that Nathan was safety oriented and shared such great information with you and your family! We will be sure to pass this great review on to him. Thanks for the recommendation and the five star review! Best, Sierra

    Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.

    How much does Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moab usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moab is not rushed.

    Is Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moab can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moab and add a light layer if any part of the 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Moab Full-Day Rafting: Colorado River Adventure start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moab within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Moab?

    +

    Moab is the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands: sunrise arch tours, 4x4 runs on Hell's Revenge, Colorado River rafting, canyoneering and dark-sky stargazing. Park entry timing systems change often, so we weight tours that handle reservations for you. On Outty we rank every Moab experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HIGHLY RATED U-DRIVE Moab Hell’s Revenge UTV Off-Road Adventure, BEST! Hell's Revenge U-Drive 4X4 Tour in Moab +Dinosaur Tracks!, 5-STAR Moab Hell's Revenge UTV U-DRIVE TOUR + DINO TRACKS. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Moab?

    +

    April to May and September to October, avoiding peak summer heat. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Moab?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
