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. Rentals include customizable return times and group-friendly rafts that accommodate up to eight people for relaxed flatwater outings.
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.
Paddle Moab focuses on providing access to iconic canyon scenery, river float experiences on the Colorado River, and opportunities to see Native American rock art and the landscapes around Arches National Park. Equipment quality, multiple rental lengths, shuttle logistics, and guided options make it a practical choice for visitors seeking self-guided paddling or curated adventure days in Moab.
