Overview

Raft the iconic Colorado River through Castle Valley, also known as the Fisher Towers section just outside Moab. This is the stretch every Moab rafting trip is built around, even if you see it called by different names. No matter the name, you are on the same legendary section of the Colorado River.

Splash, laugh, and cool off as you move through a mix of calm sections and fun rapids. The river typically features Class I and II rapids, with occasional Class III during higher water earlier in the season, making it a great fit for all experience levels.

We are a smaller, more personal outfitter, focused on quality over volume, so you get a more relaxed and connected experience on the water.

With over 40 years of experience, our team delivers a smooth, well run trip from start to finish.

What To Expect

Experience one of the most iconic stretches of the Colorado River as you float through Castle Valley, also known as the Fisher Towers section, just outside Moab. This half-day trip combines incredible red rock scenery with a fun and refreshing time on the water, making it a perfect addition to any Moab visit.

All outfitters in Moab operate on the same sections of the Colorado River, sometimes called Fisher Towers, Castle Valley, or the Moab Daily. While the names may vary, this honest review of the most iconic stretch of river is known for its towering red rock formations and wide open views.

Meet us at 97 S. Main Street in downtown Moab, and you will head to the river. Once on the water, enjoy a mix of calm floating and splashy rapids as you take in the scenery. This section typically features Class I and II rapids, with occasional Class III rapids during higher water earlier in the season.

With over 40 years of experience, our team focuses on delivering a smooth, well-run Colorado River experience. Your guide will handle the navigation while sharing insights into the geology, history, and landscape that make this area so unique. This trip is about 4.5 hours door-to-door.

Frequently Asked Questions

(7)

Q: Will I get seasick on Moab Rivertrippers ~Rafting Castle Valley/Fisher Towers Half-Day?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
