Raft the iconic Colorado River through Castle Valley, also known as the Fisher Towers section just outside Moab. This is the stretch every Moab rafting trip is built around, even if you see it called by different names. No matter the name, you are on the same legendary section of the Colorado River. Splash, laugh, and cool off as you move through a mix of calm sections and fun rapids. The river typically features Class I and II rapids, with occasional Class III during higher water earlier in the season, making it a great fit for all experience levels. We are a smaller, more personal outfitter, focused on quality over volume, so you get a more relaxed and connected experience on the water. With over 40 years of experience, our team delivers a smooth, well run trip from start to finish.

Calm float with beautiful scenery
Enjoyed the scenery. This is more a calm float down the river. A few class 1's, but very few for the length of the trip. The guide was new so he was not very knowledgeable about the area, but he was pleasant and knew what he was doing. The van smelled musty only because of people getting in that were wet and probably not having time to dry out between groups. Driver was great and we felt safe in the van driving the winding roads. Pictures turned out good and were reasonably priced

River trippers
Nice relaxing river trip. Beautiful scenery. Chance is a very informative guide. Would do this again if I had more time in the area.
via Viator
Wonderful experience. Our guides were friendly , experienced and knowledgeable.
Wonderful Recommended Enjoyable . We can't say enough about this awesome experience. We were fortunate to see wild life along the river. We saw deer, sheep, quail, ducks, heron etc. Our guides were knowledgeable about the area and shared informative information about the areas history and geology. They were personable and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. There were parts of the river that were calm and some areas that had mild rapids. They navigated with confidence and we always felt safe.

Moab Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.
How much does Moab Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN! cost?
+
Prices start at $109 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 Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN! take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 70 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 Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN!?
+
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 Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Moab Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN!?
+
Around 25 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Moab Rivertrippers Half Day Rafting Trip - Colorado River ~ FUN! 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.
