He let us know and reminded us what we needed to do to stay safe. Lunch was superb. It was an amazing ride, an experience that these two not especially fit oldsters (69&70) will ever forget.”

Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab

11.Westwater Canyon Full-Day Rafting Adventure from Moab

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 124 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $248

Raft Class III and IV rapids through Westwater Canyon from Moab, with expert guides, lunch, wildlife, gear, and hotel pickup.

“The guides were fun. To be honest every other part of it was fairly disappointing. Between the three hours of drive time, the hour to hour and a half of load and unload time, lunch, and floating down the river lazily just to get to the rapids our 8-hour excursion was more like 40 actual minutes of rapid time. They said the rapids were supposed to be rated 3 or 4 and if that's the case I probably would need rapids that were rated around 10 to actually have fun. 200 bucks for just over a half an hour of rapids seems pretty steep to me.”
