The Ultimate in Full Day Rafting: Thrilling Rapids or Scenic Family Float in Moab

MOAB, Utah - May 23, 2024 - PRLog -- You've in Moab, Utah and want to spend a full day on the river. There's a decision to make. Faced with two very different options, you have a choice. One trip challenges even die-hard river-rats with on-river thrills and world-class rapids; the other is a pleasant river passage with indescribable scenery and splashes thrown in.

Moab Adventure Center is the go-to hub for arranging rafting. Visitors get advice of professionals, including Nathan Van Buren. His blog explains the differences between the full-day river rafting options. "One Day Rafting Moab: Westwater vs. Castle Valley" lays out the many benefits offered by these two distinct sections of the Colorado River.

How different are these options?

One accepts kids age 5 & up. The other accepts only 12 and up. One lures guests off of the river to enjoy a BBQ lunch at a riverside lodge. The sets out an efficient al fresco lunch before continuing the on-river excitement. Each itinerary utilizes boat styles most appropriate to the river terrain. One itinerary boasts Class III-IV rapids; the other fun, Class II whitewater.

"If you're looking to get your adrenaline flowing, the Colorado River flowing through Westwater Canyon is the place to be. On the other hand, the Castle Valley section of the Colorado River gets you outside to enjoy a scenic float with some splashy rapids," said Van Buren.
