Raft Cataract Canyon and explore Canyonlands National Park on this Colorado River rafting adventure near Moab.
 Rafting in Utah on the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon has it all: breathtaking scenery, tranquil floating, and one action-packed day of Class III-IV whitewater rafting. Add to that hiking in Canyonlands among multi-million-year-old rock formations, plus nights spent stargazing in an International Dark Sky Park, and you have a whitewater rafting adventure suitable for the whole gang.Â
 Explore Utah’s dramatic canyon country, and get a taste of Cataract Canyon’s wild waters from the deck of an oar raft, dory, inflatable kayak, or stand-up paddleboard (paddle rafts may be available by request). Depending on when you choose to go and how much time you have, this 100-mile wild and untamed stretch of the Colorado River offers a dynamic multi-day river trip experience that caters to a wide range of interests and abilities.Â
 Our classic 6-day Cataract Canyon rafting trip spends several days leisurely floating through the peaceful waters of Meander Canyon to the confluence of the Green River, allowing plenty of time for quiet reflection from the rafts, or inflatable kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, before tackling the famous rapids of Cataract Canyon further downstream. For those short on time, the 4-day “express” trip covers the same stretch of the Colorado, but the first half of the adventure is largely motorized to cover additional miles in the scenic flatwater stretches.Â
 Feeling fearless? Crank your adventure up a notch with a trip down Cataract Canyon in late spring. Snowmelt from the Rockies yields big runoff, massive Class IV-V rapids, and some of the country’s most exciting whitewater.
