Moab Kayaking PM 1/2 Day Trip
Colorado River
About This Trip
The best way to beat the heat is to blanch it! So hop in an inflatable kayak and float through Castle Valley with us for the afternoon. Our half day kayaking trips get you 2 hours on the water admire the astounding scenery of Moab’s famous red rocks, and enjoy a few friendly class II rapids along the way.
This trip is perfect for those looking for something cool to do in Moab when the temperatures start to rise. It’s way better to be out on the water than melting on a trail, we say!
Moab, Utah kayaking afternoon half day trips start at $119.

Itinerary
Important Considerations
· This is a more independent trip option that does not 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 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, weighed down more with 2 people, and require coordination to maneuver together.
· We do not provide snacks on this float trip, so bring some along in a small bag along with your water bottle.
