What To Expect
This Moab whitewater rafting tour begins in the middle of town, when you meet your professional whitewater guides at the central Moab office. From here, you’ll receive an intro and safety briefing and get loaded up in the van, which will shuttle you out to the Fisher Towers section of the Colorado River. With its soaring spires, vertical canyons and deeply red-hued rocks, this section of river feels blissfully remote, despite being so close to town.
Before boarding the raft for the splash-filled journey, get fitted with a lifejacket and listen as your guide explains the course of the river. Your guide will propel the raft by oars, so you can sit back and enjoy the scenic, sometimes bumpy, cruise. The rapids on this section are Class II-III and are the largest in early summer snow melts. If you choose to paddle an inflatable kayak instead of riding in the raft, your guide will provide a paddling lesson and make sure you can follow commands.
As you make your way down the Colorado River, keep your eyes peeled for birds and wildlife that can often be seen on the banks, and listen as your guide explains the history and geology of the rocky canyons. At the end of the journey, after splashing down the river or going for a swim, your trip ends with a short ride back to downtown Moab.

Had a great raft down the Colorado through NavTec tours. Warren was a great guide. The kid really knows his stuff! As knowledgable as he was about rafting I'll bet he knew even more about the geology and mythology of the area! A very entertaining and informative trip. Would highly recommend!

The river guides were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the weather was against us, the wind was blowing around 45km/hr head on and it was freezing cold and we had to all paddle like crazy to help move the boat forward against the wind. The company's transport vehicle did not seen safe. It was really old and made lots of noises and the seat belts didn't work. The buffet lunch advertised turned out to be a small wrap and packet chips only. Overall it was not what we had hoped for.

Andy our “chauffeur” was friendly up beat and on time. Josh was our guide and he was friendly. Made sure to include everyone that was on our raft. Josh was knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable and safe. Being the first time ever on a raft it was a wonderful experience. If I ever get a chance to go again I would ask for either of these two men to be our guide.

It was a nice float on the colorado river. There was maybe a couple of class 1 sections, otherwise pretty tame
Our guide was fun and jad many stories.

Our guide, Warren, and all the staff were great! Nice and easy float that everyone in our party enjoyed. We will look forward to another trip in the future.

Wyatt was our guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Laughed most the day I'd say. The ride to the boat launch was fun and so pretty. Had a nice homemade lunch while the guys got the raft in the water. The wind was blowing, we got rained on, and it was a great day! We jumped in the river, traded jokes, and had a blast.

Carter was fantastic!! Made the trip exciting, fun, and educational! Huge shout out for Carter!! The weather was spectacular.

If you’re looking for high level rapids this isn’t the trip for you. Recommend it for those who want to see the landscape and Colorado river from the river perspective.

Trip was boring… I’ve done floats before, on the Snake River, same level2 rapids and it was great. This one was boring. Guide didn’t seem to know a lot and often we were just killing time floating to make it a longer trip. We were very disappointed and glad when it was over.

Lovely lunch & afternoon on the river & enjoyed being able to jump in & float along by the raft. The views all long the canyon were amazing & Lance (I believe his name was) did a good job navigating the boat under fairly strong winds - we appreciated his stories & driver songs! Perfect choice on a hot afternoon for relaxing in the canyon after days of hiking & biking in the Moab area.

Nice gentle float down the Colorado due to water conditions. Warren was a great guide who provided clear instructions, informative on the area and history, with a fun sense of humor. And he had to work so hard rowing to get us downstream due to the calm water. He did his best to maximize the few class 2 “rapids”. The high rating is because of Warren, who represented this company well.
An issue is that this trip is titled the Fishers Towers 1/2 day float. We were not near Fishers Towers, a reason we selected this trip. Viator or the rafting company should change the title as it was misleading.
