Since 2003, when Moab rafting operations began, we have gone on to expand our operations into Utah rock climbing and Utah ice climbing, Moab canyoneering, guided backcountry skiing in Utah, International travel trips, and outdoor education. We have hosted over 125,000 guests! We are so proud that this has garnered 5-star rankings across all online review sites. Land or water, our clients rave about the quality of our guides, the depth of their knowledge, their ability to teach, and most importantly, how incredibly fun each is. We believe our past guests’ comments make the decision easy!
