If You Don’t Try Westwater Canyon, You’ll Hate Yourself Later !

Greg. K - Waco, TX
We had the best time ever on the Westwater Canyon Adventure. The rapids were incredible, there was a great lunch and the guide made the trip worth while, I will definitely be back. It could only have been better if it were longer, so I will probably book the 2 or 4 day rafting trips that you offer next time, hope to see the same guides, they were awesome.

Westwater Canyon FUN!

Meghan was tremendous! She was spot on with having us do what we need to do, and with great personality and smile the whole time! Definitely a fun time on Westwater Canyon with the Moab Adventure Center!
