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!

This was our second time with Mild to Wild….this time we brought family! Best wishes to Creel! His brother might be cool, but Creel is the coolest! 🫡😂 If you’re in the Durango area - book a tour with these folks. You won’t regret it!! Note: looked at my trip advisor post from July 2018.

He went above and beyond to make sure our daughter had the best time. He took her down the falls, let her paddle the raft and made her feel included throughout the trip.
