The Big Picture

Each year nearly four thousand guests take this barrel-of-fun raft ride down the Colorado River near Moab. If you’ve never rafted whitewater before, and would like a taste of rapids, this is the perfect way to get your feet wet. Combine this with sightseeing further downstream toward Canyonlands on a motorized jet boat. Petrified wood is featured on this portion - a dry-come-as-you-are type river experience.

The Details

Your day of fun on the river begins at *7:15 a.m. for the morning jetboat. It is a delightful day in the wilderness without all the hassle and risks of true backcountry expeditions. You’ll ride in comfortable seats in our sturdy motorized riverboat. These boats speed along about 20 miles an hour and stop frequently for photographs and sightseeing. Sometimes the guide lets the boat drift quietly as you hear about all the fascinating geology, wildlife and historic sites you’re seeing. Bring binoculars to spot bighorn sheep playing on the cliffs. There’s even time for a short walk or two. What you’ll see is only accessible by boat! Less adventurous travelers will miss it all while you take this short, half-day excursion.

For the afternoon raft, you’ll be gazing out over landscape where many famous classic movies were filmed including John Wayne’s Fort Apache and Rio Grand. More recently, this area was the backdrop for City Slickers II and Larger Than Life. Your day flows into Ida Gulch, several smaller splashy waves and the tricky White’s Rapid. But don’t worry, your expert guide knows how to give you the best ride with the best safety measures! You’ll bounce and bubble over many more rapids and ripples during this playful expedition. Your schedule is leisurely with plenty of time for swimming and water fights before this perfect day on the Colorado River is over.
*The itinerary could be operated in reverse to start at 8:45 AM. Hours will be reviewed at the time of the reservation. Please check-in the evening prior to departure to confirm departure time.
