Cataract Canyon 3-Day

Please refer to the packing list in the trip documents for a more complete list. 

For on the river each day we recommend the following:

• Sunscreen and lip balm (at least SPF 15)
• Sun hat (and string to keep it from blowing off)
• Sunglasses (be careful with expensive ones; even with eyewear retainers they can still come off)
• Quick drying shorts or swimming suit (women often prefer 2-piece suits under shorts and a T-shirt)
• T-shirt (Long sleeve is a good idea for sun protection in the hot summer months)
• Shoes that stay on your feet and can get wet
• Camera (Don’t forget to charge the battery and have plenty of space on the memory card!)
• Water bottle to remind you to drink

Liability Waiver Form:  While Raft Moab, Inc. DBA World Wide River Expeditions takes great care when it comes to passenger safety, whitewater rafting has some inherent risks. Each participant will be required to sign an acknowledgment of risk form before participating. Parents must sign with minor children.  When printing the waiver form be sure to check the "fit to page" mark on the printer so it prints correctly.  Please send the forms to our office at least 30 days before your trip date.  Forms that are not printed correctly will not be accepted.  Please fill out the Guest Registration information online prior to your arrival.  

Boats and Safety Equipment Provided:  A type V (for commercial use) personal flotation device (lifejacket) is supplied and must be worn by all participants while on the river.  We also recommend them when floating in the river from camp.  Per Utah state law a type V PFD that states on the label it is designed for commercial use, is required for all passengers traveling with a commercial outfitter.  All watercrafts are also provided, including oar and paddle rafts and inflatable kayaks on some trips.  We do not allow guests to wear their own lifejackets or bring their own watercraft on our trips.  

Dietary Needs:  A menu is provided in the trip documents.  We do not make substitutions to our menu based on dietary needs but will make adjustments in preparation in the case of documented extreme allergies. Please let us know ahead of time by email of any food allergies and then remind the guides as they start to fix the meal so adjustments can be made to the food preparation (i.e. keeping croutons out of the salad, providing a vegetarian sauce, keeping peanut butter off the serving table until the participant has gone through). If the allergy is severe other precautions will be taken. Any participant with a food allergy, sensitivity, or dietary requirements are welcome to bring any items to supplement what we are providing in their own food containers.  In the case of extreme allergies with anaphylactic reaction, participants need to provide their own epi pen.

Fitness to Participate:  We ask that all participants verify they have sufficient skill and fitness to participate and have no medical, mental, or physical conditions that would interfere.  Guests showing symptoms of any illness please refrain from participating.  

Transportation at the end of the trip is not included in the listed cost for Cataract Canyon.  The options are a scenic return flight to Moab for $240 per person or having your car shuttled to the take out for $275 per vehicle.  Please contact our office by email, info@worldwideriver.com, to let us know which option you would like after you make a reservation.
