Castle Valley Kayaking | Moab, Utah
More About This Trip
Kayaking through Castle Valley is a great way to increase the level of adventure of a Colorado River excursion. This is a perfect option for those who want an active trip with a bit of a workout, as you’ll be paddling through both calm and splashy waters.
No experience is necessary, we just ask that you know how to swim when choosing this option. You’ll have a kayak guide to show you the ropes along the way as you spin, surf, and paddle downstream. Keep in mind that these crafts are inflatable kayaks, aka duckies, so there’s a lot of contact with the water!
The rapids on the Castle Valley stretch vary depending on which section you choose, but are usually friendly class I-II. The afternoon section typically has more rapids, while the morning section is more calm as we pass by Fisher Towers. On full day trips, you’ll get the whole kit and caboodle— with lunch!
On two day trips we’ll start a little further up the valley, camp on a beautiful beach along the way, and enjoy a few hours of the final stretch the second day. These overnight trips are a fully catered camping experience, and a great way to fully soak in the amazing area of the Colorado River.

Tyler was an awesome guide. Friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to educate us about the mining area and scraped rocks to show us the differences in color. Anne Baccich2025-10-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a van tour with Miles that was quite good in spite of the NPS shutdown of Mesa Verde. He clearly knows the history of the area and has great respect for the ruins and the culture of the ancient ones. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Lisa Janzen2025-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved the off-roading Jeep ride! We had a great guide and also a great group. john sanford2025-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat was great. Due to the government shutdown and parts of Mesa Verde being closed she improvised and provided a great learning experience for us. I did not appreciate a call at 9:10 pm the prior night from the scheduler asking if we could change our start times. The main office knew about the closures on Friday and waited until last minute on Sunday to call me about changing and at a late hour. Robin Simpson2025-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat our guide was wonderful. Even though most of the national parks were closed Cat kept us entertained with her knowledge and stories. Thank you
