About This Trip
The Moab Splash and Dash rafting trip offers a quick, refreshing introduction to rafting on the Colorado River. This short float through the Castle Valley section is designed for guests who want to experience the river without committing to a longer excursion. It delivers calm water, a few playful splashes, and outstanding red rock scenery just outside Moab.
This late afternoon trip lasts approximately three hours from start to finish, with about one hour spent on the water. Guests float past some of the most recognizable canyon views along the Colorado River while enjoying a relaxed pace and a couple of well timed splashes along the way. Splash and Dash trips on the Colorado River start at $129 per person and require a minimum of four guests to operate.

Rafts
15 foot self-bailing rafts (up to 10 guests).
We use Oar Boats or Paddle Boats on these trips depending on water levels. Oar Boats, typically used at high water, come with a frame that give the guide more control with oars. With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!

We had a blast on our trip up La Plata Canyon to Kennebec Pass. Our guide Alex was hilarious, knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. He was very accommodating, knew all the best places to stop, and was an expert photographer. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jude MansellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul took us on an amazing adventure up the La Plata canyon. Paul's commentary was top notch. The scenery was stunning & the wildflowers were absolutely beautiful. We even got to 'rescue" some stranded travelers.

The trip was fantasticPosted on Google Tahni LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Family had a blast tubing. Jack was very helpful and informative. He even gave us $4 for the trolley (we didn't end up needing it).Posted on Google Tiffany HagenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved our trip down the Animas River with Sammy K. as our guide. The water is low so we couldn't avoid getting stuck, but she navigated us so it didn't happen too much.Posted on Google Anna NickensTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a blast!! Anthony was our guide and he was awesome. He was patient with us, explained everything well, and made sure we were all taking in the beauty around us too. We highly recommend Mild to Wild and will be back!!
