We were a group of four, and all of us enjoyed both excursions very much. Both Chris & Jay were very professional and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the area & history. Thank you!!
Danielle, we can't thankyou enough for adventuring with us not once but twice during your stay in Moab! Your five stars mean a lot to us, and Jay and Chris will appreciate this feedback. Wishing you safe and happy travels!
This full day experience was perfect for a 108 degree day in Moab. Our guide Jay was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny and very enjoyable for the 7 plus hour trip. There were not as many rapids due to the lack of water speed but still great. Jay got us all into the water and floating for hours of our trip, keeping us cool and comfortable. I highly recommend this trip.
On a blistering hot July day in the desert, the river is the place to be. We are so glad you found us and that you got to have a day with Jay in one of his favorite places, and that the experience was perfect for you! Thank you for recommending this trip to others! Your friends at Wild West Voyages
We took 3 of our adult children and their mates on a private charter. Chrispy was our guide. He worked hard on a windy day and had great stories and a lot of fun making a great memory.
Thank you for choosing a private trip for your family's river day. WWV guides are here for you so you can focus on making the memories! We appreciate your review, your special shout out to Chris P, and this recommendation to future guests. You've got friends at WWV!
We had two great full day private tours. The first was at Arches and the second at Canyonlands. Jason was very knowledgeable and a very enthusiastic guide for both days. Our only really downside was that the lunch sandwiches were pretty paltry. We did ask for vegetarian and got minimal vegetables and one slice of cheese. Bring your own lunch! Also, one point of feedback is that each time we went on a walk/hike, it would've been helpful to specify the length and difficulty in order to decide whether to bring a full backpack or just some water. This is a minor point, but useful to know. Overall, we would totally do it again!!!!
Hello and thank you for touring with us! First and foremost, please know we have shored up issues with early season lunches and have now enhanced the vegetarian sammies to our own high standards. Thank you for the tip! Hats off to Jason who, thanks to his continued research and explorations, has more than two full days' worth of knowledge at his fingertips. Thanks again for joining us and happy travels to you!
We had an awesome day on the Colorado River with our guide Shelby. Wild West Voyages has been called “a small company with a big heart”. They clearly love and take pride in what they do. We had heard of a man and woman kayakers that had gotten in trouble on the river two days before. Turns out it was our guide Shelby who just happened to be nearby and had helped save the lucky couple. Kudos to Shelby. Needless to say, we were in good hands with her piloting our day. She was fun and hard working and made sure we had a great wild west voyage.
I agree you are in good hands with Shelby! In addition to caring for our own guided tour guests, we adhere strongly to the Leave-No-Trace principles which include being stewards of the land and being respectful (helpful when possible) of other folks while we are out there. We're glad you had a great Wild West Voyage! Your words here mean a lot to us so thank you for sharing.
We did the half day guided kayaking tour. It was excellent! We selected this group based on the reviews and they lived up to their reviews and then some! I have been on several kayaking trips and this was one of the best and most professional. The guides, Mark and Jonah, were helpful, kind, fun and shared interesting stories. The well cared for equipment was top-notch. We experienced some fun Class 2 rapids that were easily maneuvered. We had a great time and highly recommend Wild West Voyages.
Fall kayaking is super popular for the lower-key rapids and the amazing scenery. Thank you for giving a shout out here to Mark and Jonah, seasoned professionals who love what they do. If this trip were a taco, the river would be the main ingredient. And your guides are the salsa, the tortilla, and extra chili powder. So glad we could concoct a great experience for you!
Rented and inflatable Kayak for the day. The entire team were very knowledgeable and provided great guidance for our paddle on the Colorado river. My son brought his own kayak and they were very accommodating to make recommendations and pick us up and get us back to our car. Loved the experience and this team is great!!
Rarely do I leave reviews, but this company was by far the best I have ever worked with when renting boats. They were so efficient and professional. We showed up on time to pick up our equipment and we reviewed all the materials and were out the door in about 10 Minutes. WOW! We even lost one of our life jackets and instead of charging us they said we will see if one of the other rental companies turns it in. About an hour later we were called and that is exactly what happened. I will definitely use these guys again. I highly recommend them.
Hi, we are here to work with you and get you what you need to make the most of your day! We are glad to see our procedures were efficient. Moab has such a stand-up river community and so often lost items are returned. That day it was our own driver that found your lost item on a boat ramp. We believe in river karma! See you soon! WWV
Had a great day rafting. Guides were excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience. I recommend them highly.
We love taking folks boating and are so pleased to know you had a wonderful time. IAs you could tell, our guides are all about YOU! Thank you for your review!
Amazing morning spent on the Colorado River whitewater rafting. Our guide Mark was amazing and we had a great time with him.
