Flatwater SUP down the Colorado River near Arches in Moab. Small groups, friendly guides, snacks, and easy paddling for most people.
“Sharing our near death experiences once we realized the significance of my Bolivian friend even trying to go out on a river again.”
Guided SUP on the Colorado River near Arches in Moab: small-group coaching, snacks and gear included, plus fun rapids for ages 10+.
“I booked a full day rafting trip but there weren’t enough people so they offered the Splash and Splash. I wasn’t comfortable with a SUP. They accommodated me with an inflatable personal kayak. It was perfect. The guide and all other staff were knowledgeable, fun and the group(3) was small enough that we actually got to know each other. The excursion itself is not a big white water adventure so if that’s what you’re looking for this isn’t it. It is however the perfect mix of float and a few fun rapids. Paddle Moab is a smaller shop with more personal touches. There are lots of choices in Moab. I…”

Kayak Moab’s Colorado River through Castle Valley on a half-day guided trip with shuttle, Coast Guard life jackets, and expert narration.
“Kayaking was OK. Too much wasted time in the large group of rafts! Met at 1:30, waited for everyone to get PFDs, etc. Safety talk and then bus ride. Didn't get onto the water until almost 3:30. Once we began, the kayaks had to stay with the rafts and wait while they had water fights and were swimming. It was a windy day and we couldn't just stop paddling-- we'd float backwards, so we had to paddle, but not go ahead of the rafts. We didn't get back to our car until almost 6. It would save time if they sent the guides beforehand (and afterwards) with the rafts/kayaks and…”
