Description

Castle Valley is the poster child for Western landscapes, and you’ve probably already seen it somewhere in a John Wayne movie, TV show, or a commercial or two. 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 valley lined with monuments. Along the way are some of Utah’s most impressive geologic features like Fisher Towers, Castleton Tower, the Priest and Nuns, and more. As for the waters here along the Colorado River, it stays pretty warm from late spring to early fall. You’ll spend 2 hours of your time 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!

Family (6 and 9 year olds) half day float

We enjoyed the half day float (with some swimming!) along the Colorado River and would gladly return for another. Our 6 and 9 year olds loved sitting at the front of the boat watching out for rocks and taking in the scenery. The staff and our guide were great as well.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the half-day float, refreshing swims, and beautiful Colorado River scenery. It sounds like your 6- and 9-year-olds made the most of their front-row seats! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our staff and guide. We’d be delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure with Mild to Wild!

Go for the full day!

We had a great experience with M2W. Zach was our guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the landscape and the way the river flows. We had an awesome time. I wasn’t sure if my kids would enjoy rafting, but they were bummed we only signed up for the half day. Full day experience next time! Thanks Zach!

Our guide Kaia and driver...

Our guide Kaia and driver Chris did an excellent job. Fun going through the 1 and 2 rapids. Got to see an eagles nest that houses 6 bald eagles. She was very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely do it again.

The best activity we did in Moab!

Had a great time rafting on the Colorado. It was peaceful and safe with an element of adventure. Some of the younger guys climbed a Cliff and jumped into the river. We were able to cool off and take a swim off of the raft. Nina was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend.

It was fun river rafting,...

It was fun river rafting, but what made it funner? Is the guide Seth? He went out of his way to make the trip more fun even though the water was down. Definitely would do it again when the water's higher, with Seth.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Craig! We're thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time rafting with Seth and that he made the experience even more enjoyable for you. We can't wait to welcome you back when the water is higher!

Great time with Lars

Great time on the river, even though water level was low. Lars was a great guide - super enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Despite low water we did not much paddling - just through some rapids sections. This company also lets you jump out to swim in the river, which was nice on a very hot day - not all companies allow that.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time on the water with Lars and enjoyed the swimming opportunity.
