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.

Kim Furry2024-10-27 Miles gave my team a fantastic tour! Lois Weddle2024-10-27 Jay was a fun and educated guide to Mesa Verde! Thank you Alissa Troike2024-10-26 It was great. Miles was incredible. Highly recommend!!! Tom Evans2024-10-25 Great trip to the old mining operations north of Silverton. Very enjoyable. Vicky Guggino2024-10-19 Miles was our guide for both the 1/2 day Jeep Tour out of Silverton and the Mesa Verde Discovery Tour. He did a great job driving, and the history he told us about was amazing. He also gave great dinner suggestions after both tours! Terrye Gorman2024-10-17 It was super. Our tour guide Miles was awesome. Sarah Mcanally2024-10-15 The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to help meet our dates and needs. Their Jeeps were in great condition and took us to see parts of the untouched countryside that I have never seen before. We will certainly use them again on our next trip to Durango. Jane Turpen2024-10-12 We took a jeep trip up into the mountains to enjoy the fall scenery. The colors were beautiful, our guide,Jay, was excellent, and our group of six was great! We even saw them on our train trip back to Durango. There were some health issues for one traveler and a fear of heights for another. Jay was just terrific in handling both! He was caring but didn’t make a big issue of either. Just took the time to make sure everyone was doing okay and made it a good experience for all. It was a terrific day! Margot Wacks2024-10-12 We booked the guided Mesa Verde trip for our family of four. Our guide was Lee, he was INCREDIBLE!!! A wealth of knowledge, kind, considerate, engaging, and wonderful with our two small children (7 and 10) who at times have endless questions. He really made the history come alive for all of us and definitely made the trip a fun historical adventure! He was just wonderful to work with and made the entire experience one we will never forget. This was our first experience with a guided tour and we will definitely do this again. Not having to worry about driving, navigating the park traffic, getting lost, or not making it to the our scheduled palace tour on time was a huge relief. Everything was planned for us, including lunch. We just had to show up and enjoy!
