The tour begins at the operator's office in Moab, where participants meet unless hotel or campground pickup has been arranged. From there, a shuttle drives guests along Highway 128, known for its scenic views, to Rocky Rapid near mile 17, a trip that takes about 30 to 45 minutes. At Rocky Rapid, the guide provides river safety instructions before boarding the raft. Unless a paddle boat is requested in advance, the guide rows the raft, allowing guests to relax and focus on the surroundings. The rafting route covers the Fisher Towers section of the Colorado River, an area known for its scenic landscape and small rapids ranging from class 1 to 2, with a possibility of class 3 depending on water levels. Along the way, the guide shares information about the region's archaeology, geology, and river history, and points out landmarks seen during the trip. The river stretch has been used as a filming location for many westerns, including productions by John Wayne and John Ford, and more recently The Lone Ranger (2013). The rafting ends at Take-Out Beach, where participants disembark. The guides then load the rafts and equipment onto trailers, and the group returns by shuttle to the office in Moab, completing the roughly 4-hour tour. The return drive can take 30 minutes or more. Lunch, cups, and water are included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available for selected hotels. Paddle boats, where all passengers row, can be requested with 24 hours' notice.
