Moab Rivertrippers ~Rafting Castle Valley/Fisher Towers Half-Day
Description
Raft the iconic Colorado River through Castle Valley, also known as the Fisher Towers section just outside Moab. This is the stretch every Moab rafting trip is built around, even if you see it called by different names. No matter the name, you are on the same legendary section of the Colorado River. Splash, laugh, and cool off as you move through a mix of calm sections and fun rapids. The river typically features Class I and II rapids, with occasional Class III during higher water earlier in the season, making it a great fit for all experience levels. Check the Colorado River off your bucket list with time to swim, enjoy beach stops, and take in towering red rock scenery. We are a smaller, more personal outfitter, focused on quality over volume, so you get a more relaxed and connected experience on the water. With over 40 years of experience, our team delivers a smooth, well run trip from start to finish.

Fun, fun, fun... even though the river was low the whole experience was well worth it from the beginning when they pick you up in their open vehicle (it was a fun ride). Once in the river the rapids (we encountered a few) were lots of fun and especially when our guide totally encouraged us to jump into the river; she made us feel very safe and it was totally awesome.
Our time with Rivertrippers was great...The guides were funny and knowledgeable. Very good people here at Rivertrippers in Moab!
Very experienced guides and such an awesome adventure would definitely do it again, we had so much fun.
Great first time raft trip. Our guide was very knowledgable about the area. He kept us entertained the whole trip. We will book again!
Brooklyn and the entire team were amazing! They were professional, friendly, and make the whole experience enjoyable from star to Finish. This is definitely something I would love to do again with them. I Highly recommend their team and would gladly give them a five stars!
Brooklyn and all the team were kind, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout our trip. She helped us with everything and made sure we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this company, and I would definitely give them five stars!
Our guide Abby was great and made the best of a very challenging day on the river! It was very “gusty” and we were not making much progress, but Abby had a great attitude and coached us through it. The scenery was breathtaking and if it were so “breezy,” we would have had a better experience. We also wished there were more rapids… we only went through two Class 1 rapids, so not much action.
Kim, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing Abby. We will be sure she sees your kind words. She's an outstanding guide, and we're glad her positive attitude helped make the best of a windy day. We completely understand that strong winds can change the feel of a river trip. Unfortunately, weather is one of the few things we simply cannot control. We do ask our guests, when leaving reviews, to rate us on the things we can control such as our staff, equipment, check in experience, transportation, and overall service rather than conditions like weather or river flow. We also noticed your comment about wanting more rapids. Our Moab Daily Float is clearly described as a Class I and II scenic float designed for relaxing, swimming, and taking in the incredible red rock scenery. If you're looking for a more adventurous experience with exciting whitewater, we'd love to have you join us on our Westwater Canyon trip in the future. For reference, this is how we think about reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Great adventure. We delivered on what we promised, even if perfection doesn't exist. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ = Great adventure with a few minor issues that were within our control. ⭐⭐⭐ = Average experience with several service related issues that need improvement. Thank you again for rafting with us, and we hope to welcome you back. Moab Crew & Abby
Everything we experience with Chance and Moab Rivertrippers was great from start to finish. The energy of everyone was fantastic. We had the full range of a young child, a pregnant mom, adults and older adults that all had a great day! Chance gave us his all to make sure we had fun, explained details of the river and history of the surrounding area.
We had a lot of fun from beginning to end! The group included children ages 10 and 13, and 3 adults, the oldest being 71. It was a slow ride down the river because this year the drought caused low water so we had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery and the rapids were very mild. We saw a mama bighorn sheep and her 2 babies, and also several herons and some songbirds. To get to the river and back we had the choice of a van ride or the very exciting and windy open-air enormous shuttle. We were allowed out of the raft to float down the river a few times and at the end we had time to play in the water near a small beach. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered most of the questions we had along the way so we learned some geology, biology, history, geography, and legalities about the area. It was nice to get to know the other 3 people in our raft and make new friends on the shuttle ride. Water and wetbags were provided and you didn't have to row if you didn't want to or couldn't. If you have any questions, call the office beforehand and they will tell you what you need to know. Yes, we were glad we chose this company.
Abby was amazing. The water was low but still amazing. Loved swimming in the river.
