Amazing day on the river!
We had an amazing time paddling on the Colorado River. We rode in the oar frame raft with our excellent guide Hope. She knew the river well and made the experience fun and exciting. The guides were all very professional and fun. We especially liked talking with Mike and Warren who are knowledgeable about the geology and native history of the area. Cannot recommend enough! Book this trip!!
Response from the operator: Hello, We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your rafting trip down the Westwater section of the Colorado River. Thank you for your review and recommendation. We greatly appreciate your kind words about our team, we'll be sure to pass them along. We hope to see you again soon! Best, Corey

Navtech full day West Canyon White Water Rafting
Our full-day West Canyon white water rafting tour with Navtech Adventures was not disappointing. Water levels were unusually low this year, but we still experienced plenty of exciting Class III and IV rapids — and even the smaller rapids were a lot of fun. Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable about the geography and local history of the areas we covered, both on the river and during the drive. In addition, Michael had a great sense of humor and more importantly, he had amazing rafting skills that kept us safe while still allowing us to enjoy a fun and exciting experience. Safety was always emphasized throughout the trip. The other guides who contributed to the experience, Addy and Will, were also fun and knowledgeable. There was clearly a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among all the guides, and they all had a great sense of humor while consistently reinforcing safety throughout the day.

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!

Enjoyable adrenaline fun
Amazing rafting trip down the Colorado river in Westerwater, an area of the river near the Colorado/Utah border. It involves a few hours drive to the start, mostly through gorgeous area alongside the river, but the white water and wildlife make it worth the effort. Friendly and informative guides. Thanks for the trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us on our Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure. We are glad that you enjoyed the white water and wildlife and your guided experience. We will pass this message along to our guides since we use these reviews to improve our experiences and to reward great ones. Thanks again!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.
How much does Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 127 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab?
+
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 Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab?
+
Around 44 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab 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.
