Paddle Moab is a river outfitter located in Moab, Utah, specializing in stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and kayak rentals, guided paddling trips, and combination adventures that pair hiking, biking, or climbing with paddling on the Colorado River.
The company offers flexible rental durations, including daily, two-day, three-day, four-day, and five-day rental options, with top-quality inflatable stand-up paddle boards, kayaks, and rafts suitable for solo paddlers, families, and groups.

Guided trips include a four-hour Flatwater Fun Kayaking family excursion led by knowledgeable guides, a Hike/Paddle Combo that features a scenic rim hike, views over the river, a packed lunch, and an afternoon paddle, and a Pedal/Paddle Combo that combines mountain biking on Arches-area trails with guided whitewater rafting. A Kayak Rental & Ride Package provides a convenient shuttle service that transports paddlers up to 12 miles along the river so customers can paddle back to their vehicle. The Climb/Paddle Combo pairs world-class climbing on Moab’s red sandstone with an afternoon of stand-up paddling.
