Daytime Jet Boat Tours
3-Hour and 1-Hour Express Jet Boat Tours on the Colorado River
Join us for a Daytime Jet Boat Tour where your humorous guide will take you down a calm water stretch of the Colorado River south of Moab. You’ll get lost in the beauty of the canyons as we explore the scenery around each bend of the river. During the trip, we encourage you to ask your guide questions as he or she explains the geology and history of the Moab, Utah area and Colorado River. You’ll learn about films and commercials made right here in the Canyonlands and team up with other passengers to find wildlife along the banks of the river. It’s a great way to beat the heat and enjoy our beautiful area.
