Nice time on the river - Had a great time on the half day morning rafting trip. The meeting point was convenient, and the whole excursion was well organized. The scenic drive to the put in spot was an added bonus. Our guide Avery was friendly and informative. The river was calm and relaxing, not many rapids, but still a nice trip!

Great half day - We had a great time. Avery was terrific. No complaints at all! Read the instructions, a lot of people wore crocs or flip flops. I’d probably pick afternoon if you’re pairing the day with Arches, but we did Moab Grand Tours Hell’s Revenge 4x4 sunset tour with lunch in between. Amazing day!!

Very organized and safe - Very organized and safe. Guides ensure everyone has a fun time and safe on this river. Bring aqua socks. Water is cold even in summer so a rash guard helped

Beautiful day on the water - Low key ride down the river surrounded by incredible views! A few small rapid areas and plenty of opportunities together out of the raft and swim 😊
