Important Considerations
Changing rooms and bathrooms are limited at our boatyard, so we encourage guests to come in their river getup beforehand!
We do not provide snacks on this trip, so bring some along in a small bag along with your water bottle if you think you’d like to have them!
Castle Valley is continuously being sculpted by wind, so expect these desert gales on your trip— particularly in the afternoon.
The rapids in Castle Valley are mild and interspersed between long flat-water sections. If you want level up on the adventure and exercise, consider choosing your own destiny in an inflatable kayak!
There are some logistics for the guides before and after your time on the water, so there’s some waiting involved. We appreciate your understanding in advance!
