The Riverboat Cruise In Utah You Never Knew Existed

This tour starts with a cowboy-style Dutch oven dinner, served on the banks of the Colorado. After dinner, you'll hop aboard the flatbed riverboat, and cruise upstream. As darkness descends, the canyon walls are illuminated with lights, and music and narration tells you all about the history of this area, the Native Americans who lived here and the Catholic conquistadors and Mormon Pioneers who "discovered" this area.

The red rock cliffs lining the Colorado become even more stunning as the sun sets. Your jet boat tour will take you past petroglyphs, arches, a Native American granary and some serious scenery. After an hour and a half tour, you'll return to find a delicious dinner waiting for you, riverside.

There are two daytime cruises to choose from - a three hour adventure, or a one hour express tour. On the three hour adventure, you'll see petroglyphs, a Native American granary, Dead Horse State Park, Thelma and Louise Point, and more. The one hour version is much shorter, and covers just 20 miles, but is still a great way to see the calm portion of the Colorado. Both tours are offered in the morning and afternoon.

If you're willing to get wet, you'll have a blast on this 24-mile tour on the Nitro Spin King jet boat. Your guide will crank up the rock music and take you on a wild ride, and speed along the river, spinning and turning along the way.

Enjoy live music while you float the Colorado for an hour and a half. They'll provide the wine, beer or soft drinks onboard, and when you return, you'll enjoy a delicious dinner.
