My friend and I did the full day whitewater rafting and the "Rock of Ages" canyoneering trip on two days back to back. We only spent two full days in Moab and we can honestly say that we are so happy that we booked both of these experiences with Paddle Moab!

Since we were the only group that had booked the full day whitewater rafting trip on that day, they gave us the option to instead do it on a kayak, which we did (we chose to go for the double kayak so we were on the same one). Our host was Josh, and he was great at leading us through the rapids and giving us good and safe advice for enjoying them. He was always willing to adjust to our pace and what we wanted to do throughout the trip, so that was nice. He also did a great job at sharing with us random bits of history and local culture that we wouldn't have known about otherwise - overall he was a fun and amazing guide to have! The pictures don't show any of the rapids since I made sure to have my phone secured at those times, but as you can see it's all full of beautiful scenery with the canyons around us. Our trip was in early June but the water was still cold and refreshing (although we didn't flip over!).

Our second day we did the canyoneering trip, and we had Nick as our guide. We could tell from the start he was very well experienced and knew what he was doing, so although it can be somewhat scary to rappel (especially at first), we felt very safe and he was great at guiding and encouraging us throughout the whole process. We got lucky since there weren't any other groups or people in the area on that day, so we even got to rappel off the highest cliff (about 130 ft?) THREE times, which was really fun, and we still ended the whole tour on schedule. Nick was also great at sharing some of the history from the area and telling us more about canyoneering and rappelling. I almost forgot - he was so concerned about the heat on that day that he even bought us a couple of extra water bottles at the gas station on our way to the place (we already had two each, but having that third one definitely helped us stay better hydrated).

Overall, the guides and staff at Paddle Moab really did their best to take care of us and make sure that we had an amazing experience on both days. The cost for each adventure can be somewhat pricy, but it was cheaper than other places in the area that we looked at it, and it is definitely worth it if you want to enjoy the outdoors at Moab in fun ways!
