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.

Rafts
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!

Reviews from our Guests
Posted on Google Sandra PerezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a tour of Mesa Verde for a full day. Arrived at 8:00; returned at 4:30. The day was not a blue bird sky day - we had clouds, drizzle, rain and grey but the experience was surreal. Overlooks of amazing architecture in the cliffs, pit adobes in the corn fields, storage of grain in the cliffs - all viewed easily from the road and overlooks. Easily seen but not easily understood. That’s where our tour guide, Jay was an incredible asset. He added so much to our viewing of these spaces that we will take away incredible knowledge of the Pueblan People. And then the tour of the Palace. WOW! In fact, WOW was the word of the day! Jay was the best of the best. I have gone with Viator before and have not been disappointed. They pick the best tour companies in the area. Thanks Jay for a wonderful experience.Posted on Google R CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eli was amazing!!!!
