Off road lovers would love these trails…read more Stunning views but honestly not a ton for kids to actually DO besides look over edges and drive. The little dinosaur footprint area was cool for 10 minutes. After two big hiking days at Arches, our kids were bored with the long car stops and short walks to viewpoints. If we did it again we would split Canyonlands across multiple half-days instead of one full day, or just accept it's more of a scenic-drive park with children.

The only saving grace from this experience was our guide, who was friendly and funny. But for her,…read morethis would be a zero-star review. The best thing about the dinner was either the Italian salad dressing or the Diet Coke. The rest of the food, while edible, was neither served hot nor particularly tasty. As for the light show, that was a complete, utter joke. The light show consisted of a pickup truck slowly driving beside the boat and illuminating the canyon walls with a bright white light. Seriously!! The "show" reminded me of a 7th grade history/science lesson as a 1970s / 1980s teacher might have done it. "Bored to tears" comes to mind describing this experience. By the end, all I could think was "Well, those are three hours of my life that I can never have back." EXTREMELY disappointed with every aspect of this experience. NEVER again!!

We were a family of 6 ranging in age from 5 to 60+, and every single one of us had an absolute blast. The experience was equal parts thrilling, scenic, and just plain fun. Even our youngest handled it like a champ, and the views along the trail were incredible. One of us started out completely petrified (like, *white-knuckle, questioning life choices* level ), but our guide Chad was amazing. He was calm, reassuring, and clearly very experienced--he put us at ease quickly and turned fear into excitement by the end. If you're in Moab and even *thinking* about doing Hell's Revenge--DO IT. And ask for Chad if you can. This was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip!

We did the full day towers (?) rafting experience…read more The drive to the drop off spot was beautiful, the guides were informative and skilled, the float down the river was not high adventure (we went early July) but the guides kept it so fun for our kids. Lunch was easy - they set up super quick - caesar salad wraps, waters/juices, chips, chicken salad, and Oreos. Some of my favorite parts was the fact that ALL the guides and bus driver were all young women. I loved that my kids saw these women do all the heavy lifting (literally and figuratively) and think it sets an awesome example to my son and young daughter. A few days later as we drove out of Moab, we drove down the same 10-15 miles of road we took on the bus. I didn't realize how much my kids had absorbed during the bus ride, but they rattled off all the facts, stories and sites that the guide had shared on our way to rafting.

We found that Wild West voyages was very responsive and gave us periodic updates prior to our trip. On the day of our trip Jay picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the Canyonlands needle District. We can't see enough good things about our ghide Jay. He was informative, engaging, friendly, and really funny. We couldn't ask for a better guide. We stopped at various points and did two hikes in Canyonlands Totaling a little over 5 miles. Jay made it a point to keep the pace slow and easy. Wild West Voyages provided snacks, water, and a great lunch. We enjoyed our tour of the needles district so much that we immediately booked a white water rafting trip the following day. We spoke with Catherine at Wild West and she couldn't have been more helpful. She booked us for a rafting tour the very next day. We were pleasantly surprised the rates which we believe to be very reasonable.We recommend Wild West Voyoges to anyone who's thinking about taking a tour in and around Moab.

When I…read morewas invited to come out this way for a friends wedding, I began thinking of what adventures I can could fit into the trip. I pondered on base jumping, off roading, flying... but then I read about canoe camping through Tex's Riverways and the choice was obvious!! From the first phone call to their office and speaking with Claire, I knew I made the right decision. They provided me with the choice of a 15' or 17' foot Grumman canoe or a kayak, and I went with my personal fave, the 15' footer. They also provided me with shuttle to the launch site, paddles, emergency flotation, advice on possible camping areas and hikes, and an emergency number for the parks rescue team. I purchased a map and rented a portable camping toilet. Aside from the above, you're pretty much on your own, which I loved lol. Yes, I decided to go canoe camping solo for 3 days and 2 nights. And indeed, it was a true test of my mental and physically abilities in every way. I feel grateful for the experience and was in complete awe of Mother Nature the entire time. Through the intense winds of the first day, paddling against the current to backtrack to the only feasible campsite for miles, starting my own fires with sunburnt fingers and 15+ miles of paddling in total, I truly felt alive. And the only times I used my cell phone were to take photos or to sent satellite texts to my loved ones to give them periodic updates. Ahh what a feeling to be disconnected from everything and to be present in the moment. I highly recommend this to everyone, though with caution and knowing your own limits and abilities. On second though, I highly recommend you go with a group and a guide, unless confident in your paddling and navigation skills!

Everyone was knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the San Juan River, its history, geology and stories about people who lived it. If one doesn't spend much time on a river, they don't think about how it moves and where it goes, what happens when the water level is low, and rocks appear, etc. All of these details are taken into consideration every moment and it made the trip more enjoyable to know that someone was paying attention like this. The weather was with us. Sleeping under the stars for a week is an experience that everyone should have. The first night, Theresa thoughtfully arranged for a lunar eclipse and we watched it from chairs facing the river with the canyon walls beyond. One of the guides had high-powered binoculars which were passed around. It was a wonderful beginning to a perfect week. There was a strong sense of camaraderie among our group and with the guides. Sharing this experience was palpable amongst us. Although we were not pampered (who wants to be pampered on a river trip?) we were well taken care of. Doing some of the work like helping with taking the baggage off the boats and things like that are part of the process that brought us closer together because we were cooperating with each other. Not one cranky word was said in seven days. More kudos for Theresa and her crew. They were true professionals in every sense of the word. And T has a wicked sense of humor to boot (or not to boot).

In Moab Canoe and Raft, I found an outfitter I can trust and respect. Safety is always Kevin's first concern, as it should be, and he takes much care to ensure his clients go out well prepared to take on the wilderness. There is a review on Yelp that complains the Kevin's employee left a group at the river without their PFD's. ONLY A NOVICE NEWBIE WOULD LEAVE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY GEAR WITH ANOTHER PERSON! Mistakes do happen, and the commonly accepted protocol is the one who might pay the price for a mistake, should be the one who does the final check out. THE WILDERNESS IS BY DEFINITION WILD, so be prepared, and take responsibility for your self and your party. NEVER FULLY COUNT ON ANYONE ELSE to ensure your own safety. In part I do agree with that review: "if you use MRCC" OR ANY OTHER OUTFITTER "be sure to check all of your gear before leaving town." AMEN! Kevin dispenses the sort of knowledgeable guidance on outfitting both self-guided and guided trips, choosing routes and gear appropriate to all skill levels and current conditions. Lisa and Kevin set up the sort of trips that so delighted them with this area, that they had to move here to live the life! For these two, outfitting is more than a job, it is a way of sharing a great life on the water. Kevin is also an authorized Wenonah Canoe dealer, arguably among the finest made boats. Clients always go out with the best gear, which makes staying safe and comfortable a tad easier.
