Description

Castle Valley is the poster child for western landscapes, and you’ve probably already seen it somewhere in a movie, TV show, or commercial. And if somehow you have, in fact, never laid eyes on Castle Valley before, you’re not going forget it once you do! This serene section of the Colorado River moseys through a big beautiful red-rock canyon. As for the waters here along the Colorado River, it stays pretty warm from late spring to early fall. You’ll spend 2 hours on the water floating, with a few Class II rapids to cool you off along the way. Expect plenty of fascinating interpretations and fun stories from your river guide on this mild trip!

Great family experience!

Gavin was a great guide. Loved his jokes and knowledge of the area. Great that we got to get out to swim a little. Kids loved rapids and the wildlife we got to see.

Solid excursion - recommended for families

Overall, really solid excursion. Our guide (Zack) was great - knowledgeable, good with the kiddos, funny, and an overall chill dude. He made learning about rocks and water interesting and fun :). Also, passionate about the city, state, and wildlife/environment. Loved that about him. Also, remembered everyone’s names in the raft and careers which I thought was a nice touch. :) I was hoping for a little more rapid but the river is the river and with an 11 year old our experience was definitely well suited. 3 spots to jump in and cool off. Amazing scenery. Deer drinking from the river and eagles in the air. Recommended for families. Once again, solid tour. If we come back to Utah we’ll be doing a class 3-4 trip with Mild to Wild:)

Operator response

We truly appreciate your feedback and we're glad to hear you enjoyed your rafting adventure! Zack's passion for the area and his ability to connect with families truly makes our tours special. We look forward to welcoming you back for a class 3-4 trip in the future!

Rafting

Kia our guide was spectacular. She was very friendly and well informed about the area. She was fantastic at getting us back in the boat from our swims. A fabulous rafting guide. Highly recommend her and this company for future rafting adventures in Moab. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, from check in to helping with our life PFD devices to driving us back and forth. Great bunch of people. Thank you so much for a great afternoon.

Fun and funny

Gavin did an outstanding job guiding and steering our boat. Very interactive and knowledgeable. Stand up comedian to accompany the tour was a special addition. Had us laughing and smiling the entire time.

An amazing experience!

The booking was a breeze. Their accommodating to my schedule was great. They were not pushy. The river guide was THE BEST!!! Luis was knowledgeable of the surrounding, the turns and bends in the river, he was funny and super chill. My family and I were extremely happy with everything we did with them. I will not only tell my friends and extended family, but we will be booking more adventures with them.

Rafting guide Zach did a great job ensuring everyone including my kids had an amazing time. The tour included lots of relaxing floating time, helping cool everyone from the hot sun. The rapids are the right amount of thrill for my young children. Lastly we had a water cannon fight with multiple boats. I highly recommend the 1/2 day rafting adventure and give high praises to our guide Zach.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Michael! We're thrilled to hear that Zach provided an amazing experience for you and your kids during the rafting trip. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
