How wet will I get on the Spin & Splash ride?

This tour is designed for spins, slides, and splashy fun — expect to get soaked\! You’ll be in the calm water sections of the Colorado River, but the captain’s maneuvers will leave you laughing and dripping by the end.

Do I need to wear a swimsuit or special shoes?

A swimsuit is recommended, but quick-dry clothing works too. Water shoes or secure sandals are best since flip-flops can fly off. Bring a towel or change of clothes for after the ride.

Is Spin & Splash suitable for kids?

Yes. Kids ages 8 and up (with a minimum of 60 pounds) love this trip. It’s high-energy but designed for families — many guests bring tweens and teens who enjoy the thrill of speed and splashing.

How long is the Spin & Splash tour?

The ride lasts about one hour on the water, not including check-in time. It’s a quick-hit adventure that fits easily into your Moab itinerary and is a great way to cool off.

Is the ride scary or just fun?

It’s meant to be exciting, not intimidating. You’ll feel quick spins, slides, and bursts of speed, but you’re always on calm water — no rapids, no drops. Most guests describe it as “a roller coaster on water” that keeps everyone laughing.

What if the weather is cool or windy?

The river can feel cooler when you’re wet, especially in spring or fall. We recommend bringing a light jacket or dry clothes for after your ride. On hot summer days, the splashes are the perfect way to cool off.

Do the jet boat captains have experience?

Jet boat captains are highly experienced on the Colorado River and operate modern, well-maintained boats built for these maneuvers. Guests consistently praise them for their skill and for making the ride fun for all ages.

Where does the Spin & Splash tour depart from?

You’ll meet directly at the launch site on the Colorado River, just north of downtown Moab. Parking and restrooms are available before departure. Details and full directions will be provided in your confirmation.

How is Spin & Splash different from other Moab jet boat tours?

Spin & Splash is all about speed and soaking fun. The other jet boat tours (Fun Run, Sunset Dinner, Canyonlands by Night) are longer, scenic experiences focused on canyon views, meals, or storytelling. Many visitors choose Spin & Splash for the thrill, then book a scenic evening cruise for contrast.

Experience high-speed spins and splashes on the Colorado River.
Adrenaline-pumping fun for thrill-seekers of all ages.
