What to take, where to eat, where to stay, what to do, and a few little secrets on the side. Not unlike your own personal Jiminy Cricket, (minus the worries of the little guy getting smooshed) the Moab Insiders Guide will provide you with all the essentials for a perfect Moab experience
Red Rock, Whitewater, and Blue Sky. On this Utah rafting and multi-sport trip, you’ll experience different adventures every day with all the comforts of home each night. Discover the excitement of Colorado River rafting through legendary Westwater Canyon, named “The West’s Best Short Whitewater Trip” by National Geographic. Explore Moab’s breathtaking back country on an exhilarating Hummer® Safari. Top off your adventure with a one-of-kind Moab Hot Air Balloon Adventure over the Moab desert. Every night you’ll stay in the luxurious comfort of Red Cliffs Lodge located on the banks of the Colorado River. Surrounded by two of America’s most astounding national parks and combined with endless opportunities for world-class fun, Moab, Utah is the ideal departure city for the Moab Adventure Center’s Westwater Canyon Multi-Sport Adventure.
DAY 1 » Check into Red Cliffs Lodge on the banks of the Colorado River, a secluded location 14 miles outside of downtown Moab. Take the evening to unwind at the pool, read a book on your private patio or explore famous Castle Valley. Savor a spectacular sunset dinner on the Red Cliffs Lodge deck overlooking the Colorado River.
DAY 2 » After breakfast at Red Cliffs, meet at Western River’s Moab Adventure Center at 9:45 AM for an exhilarating off-road Hummer Safari. You’ll access Moab’s spectacular back country in style and comfort aboard the world’s most serious 4x4. Climb to the top of seldom-seen, awe-inspiring overlooks and return with a new feeling of freedom and unforgettable memories. Take the afternoon to explore the National Parks or go horseback riding (rides are offered at Red Cliffs Lodge - advance booking recommended).
DAY 3 » After an early morning breakfast buffet, a shuttle will arrive at Red Cliffs (approx 8:10 AM) to take you to Westwater Canyon. Labeled “The West’s Best Short Whitewater Trip” by National Geographic, this one-day Utah rafting adventure gives you everything from relaxation on calm waters winding through amazing geologic formations to the excitement of Colorado River whitewater. After your return to Red Cliffs Lodge around 6:00 PM, you’ll have time to enjoy a dinner in town on your own or spend another evening dining at Red Cliffs.
Day 4 » Greet the sunrise from a Hot Air Balloon! Meet your ground crew and pilot just outside of town. As the sun begins to rise, you'll take part in launching your balloon. Watch in awe as your giant balloon fills with air and begins to take shape. After a brief orientation, you'll load into the basket with your professional balloon pilot and begin floating into the sky. As your ground crew shrinks in size and begins following your path, the surrounding views are magnified.

"Awesome...the very best...the ride of a lifetime...you have to be there to find your own words. Had the most wonderful experience in a long, long time! Thanks for the memories. I'm there next year!"

"We just returned from our Utah trip that included the Westwater Trip. It was GREAT! The scenery was awesome on the river and we continued to enjoy Utah while hiking in Arches and the Moab area. The pictures we took don't do justice to the scenery. Thanks for the memories! "
