Evening Colorado River Jet Boat: Sunset Canyon Cruise with Red Rock Views and Dutch Oven Dinner

Begin your evening on the Colorado River, just north of downtown Moab, for a relaxing 1.5-hour jet boat cruise through stunning red rock canyons. As the boat glides beneath towering cliffs, your guide shares stories of the region’s geology and history while the desert sun paints the sandstone walls in gold and crimson light.

Our evening jetboat ride on the Colorado River was fantastic—family-friendly, fast but safe, with great views of canyon walls, petroglyphs, and even climbers. The captain was informative and entertaining, and blankets kept us warm in the fall.
