5.00This place is great. They have wonderful people and the whole reservation process was easy and very informative and a bunch of questions before we left and they addressed all of them. We even wanted to shorten up the trip a little bit and they accommodated that. Teal was our guide and she was awesome. You felt like she was out there having as much fun as you were. Everything was super safe and fun one of the best bargains in all of Moab.

5.00We chose to use kayaks and had a blast! It was just enough navigable rapids for us. A little thrill- a lot of relaxing! As we get better we will move up the risk level, but this one was perfect for us, not a snooze fest but also not a heart attack! ❤️
Highly Recommend!

5.00Had a great time with the Splish and Splash - perfect combo of relaxing, taking in the incredible scenery, and a little bit of adrenaline. Our guide, Ramie, was perfect. She shared just the right amount of instruction, history, and education. We had a blast!
So much fun!

5.00This was sooo much fun. Our guide Nate was wonderful. The paddle was great, rapids were not too big or scary which was great for our first time facing rapids on a paddleboard. Setting is priceless. Highly recommend. Bring plenty of water! The only thing that would have made this better would have been if we were able to have photos of us on the river.
Beautiful locale, exciting paddling

5.00Gorgeous scenery and paddleboarding through rapids…the perfect combination! Unlike flat-water paddling, the paddle is used more as a guiding rudder than as a propulsion device as the river carries you through the rapids. We loved it!
Great Paddling boarding experience!!

5.00We had an incredible time - it was our first time in Utah and our first paddle boarding experience! Thanks to our tour guide, Hunter, who made us feel safe and secured but also fun, professional and knowledgeable with the history of the area. Thanks, brother! Ramon & Cassie
Highlight of Trip to Utah

5.00We went on the Splish n Splash tour with Santos and Hunter in June. The weather started out crummy with high winds but both guides were well prepared with tips and tricks for getting down the river. They were focused on customer safety and enjoyment of the trip. We spent a week hiking in Utah and this was our last adventure of the trip. It was the highlight-such a beautiful view and amazing experience. The rapids were fun for all ability levels and Santos and Hunter made sure everyone had a successful trip. Highly recommend!
Two great tours

5.00We took two tours with Paddle Moab during our vacation to Utah. We did the splish and splash SUP tour on the Colorado River. The scenery through the river gorge was amazing. The water was running at moderate levels and it was difficult to stand on the boards through the rapids, but it was easy to sit down and get through. The water was cold and refreshing after several hot days in Southern Utah. The Medieval Chamber canyoneering tour with Nate was the highlight of our entire trip. The tour starts up in the Sand Flats Recreation Area where we hiked to the first of two rappels, the first into Medieval Chamber, and the second at Morning Glory Bridge. Then we hiked the Grandstaff Trail (downhill) to the parking lot at the Colorado River. The rappels were thrilling and the hike was beautiful and relatively cool from the shade and the creek running through the canyon.
A unique way to experience Moab!

5.00Super fun! Teal, our guide, was friendly, informative and genuine. We learned lots about the ecology and history of the area. That is, when we weren't in the Colorado River!! Be prepared to get wet. Turns out that the Colorado River is cold in April (even for Canadians)!
