Half Day Moab Rafting Tour

Float beneath the towering red cliffs of Castle Valley on this unforgettable half-day rafting trip just outside Moab. Designed for all experience levels, this scenic section of the Colorado River delivers a perfect blend of gentle whitewater, incredible desert views, and time to relax and connect with the natural beauty of the Southwest.

Your adventure begins with a short shuttle from Moab to the river put-in, where expert guides will provide a safety briefing and outfit you with all necessary gear. Then it’s time to hit the water! Paddle through Class I–II rapids that offer just enough splash to keep things fun while remaining safe and approachable for families, first-timers, and anyone looking for a mellow outdoor experience.

Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about the area’s geology, wildlife, and human history. There’s time to swim, soak in the views of Fisher Towers, and snap photos of the dramatic red-rock canyons surrounding you.

This tour typically includes about 2 hours on the river, with round-trip transportation from the Moab base. Whether you’re staying in Telluride and looking to add a Moab adventure to your road trip, or planning a Southwest loop, this guided float is the perfect half-day addition to your itinerary.
