    Moab Jet Boat Tours

    Canyonlands by Night and Day is a family-owned tour company that has been in operation since 1963 and offers numerous tours in the Moab area along with boat tours on the Colorado River. You will have the experience of lifetime as a knowledgeable guide who will tell you about movies and commercials filmed here, including Louise Point from the movie Thelma and Louise, and will help point out wildlife along the banks of the Colorado River.

    The one hour tour is an exhilarating ride down the Colorado, where you will most likely end up very wet as the boat turns, spin, and splash their way on the Colorado!

    The one Hour tour requires guests to weigh no less than 60 pounds and a max weight of 330 lbs. The minimum age is 8 and to qualify for a youth price, your child must be between the ages of 8-12.

    The three-hour tours are a bit more relaxed and fun for the whole family as you cruise down the calm-water section of the Colorado River. They have AM trips and PM trips, and you are much more apt to keep dry on this trip as opposed to the one-hour trip.
