About This Trip
The Moab Splash and Dash rafting trip offers a quick, refreshing introduction to rafting on the Colorado River. This short float through the Castle Valley section is designed for guests who want to experience the river without committing to a longer excursion. It delivers calm water, a few playful splashes, and outstanding red rock scenery just outside Moab.
This late afternoon trip lasts approximately three hours from start to finish, with about one hour spent on the water. Guests float past some of the most recognizable canyon views along the Colorado River while enjoying a relaxed pace and a couple of well timed splashes along the way. Splash and Dash trips on the Colorado River start at $129 per person and require a minimum of four guests to operate.

15 foot self-bailing rafts (up to 10 guests).
We use Oar Boats or Paddle Boats on these trips depending on water levels. Oar Boats, typically used at high water, come with a frame that give the guide more control with oars. With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!

My three daughters and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mild to Wild from start to finish.

Our guide, Trey, was exceptional—he connected effortlessly with my kids and made sure the entire trip was fun, engaging, and truly memorable. There was constant laughter and so many smiles throughout the adventure. It’s clear this team goes above and beyond to create a great experience for their guests.

A great day on the river with Seth as our guide. He was knowledgeable of the river and surrounding area, sharing fun information and jokes. It was a hot day for March (high 80s) and we had a nice time going through some gentle rapids and swimming in the cool water.Posted on Joseph BushTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
