Float past Castle Valley’s red-rock landmarks, splash through gentle rapids, and enjoy a beachside deli lunch on the Colorado River.

About this tour

See the red-rock scenery of Castle Valley from the Colorado River on a Moab full-day rafting trip. This calm stretch winds past monumental cliffs and formations, with a few Class II rapids adding a refreshing splash along the way.

After meeting and checking in at 8:15 AM, get fitted with safety equipment and learn the basics from your experienced river guides. Then settle into a self-bailing raft and float through the broad valley toward a towering red-rock canyon. Look for Fisher Towers, Castleton Tower, and the Priest and Nuns as your guides share stories and local interpretations of the landscape. River games and splash fights bring extra fun to the gentle ride, and a beachside deli-style lunch offers a welcome pause along the way. A shuttle returns you to the meeting location.

With warm water from late spring to early fall and scenery that feels unmistakably Western, this Moab full-day rafting trip is an easygoing way to experience the Colorado River. Come ready to relax, take in the views, and enjoy the ride.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 218 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Moab
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 24% in Moab means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in Moab by this score.
