Important Considerations

Castle Valley Kayaking | Moab, Utah

Two inflatable kayakers on the colorado river in castle valley, moab Utah
  • This is a more independent trip option that doesn’t always come with a kayak guide, but our raft guides will be there to give you instruction when you need help.

  • This trip is a bit of a workout! The big, beautiful flat water sections and intermittent rapids will have you paddling most of the time.

  • The inflatable kayaks sits low in the water, so there will be water in the kayak the whole time. Thus, you’re going to get wet!

  • If everyone in your group isn’t up for the challenge of an inflatable kayak just yet, they can go along in a raft with a guide at the same time!

  • If you opt for the double kayaks, they can be bit more challenging than the singles because they are longer, heavier, and require coordination to maneuver together.

  • We do not provide snacks on this float trip, so bring some along in a small waterproof bag along with your water bottle.
