Utah is the best state in the nation when it comes to outdoor adventure opportunities, and here’s an adventure that’s perfect for a couples getaway. Head to Moab and explore the Colorado River.
The Colorado River is one of the most scenic spots in the Beehive State, and one of the best ways to explore it is by kayak.
For a fabulous kayak trip down the Colorado, take a tour with Canyon Voyages Adventure Co. in Moab. You'll find their store at 211 N. Main Street in Moab.
You don't need to have any experience to join the kayak tour - your guide will teach you the basics and have you paddling in no time. They'll also hook you up with the right kayak, based on your skills.
The Calmwater Kayak tour is perfect if you want to paddle down a calm, quiet river, surrounded by natural beauty. You'll leave at 2 PM and return at 5:30 PM.
If you're up for a more wild adventure, take the Inflatable Kayak Tour. Your guide will teach you how to read the water and navigate through rapids like a pro. Take the morning half-day tour from 9 AM to 12:45 PM, or the afternoon tour from 2 PM to 5:30 PM.
Both half day tours include a snack right on the banks of the river. This adventure is perfect for couples, or a larger group of friends. The trips are suitable for the most novice kayakers and those with some experience will increase their paddling skills.
