Raft + Bike Adventures
How a Package Works
A. First Activity
Your day begins on the river. Guided by AVA’s experienced team, you’ll paddle through scenic stretches of whitewater, from gentle family floats to spirited Class III rapids,taking in canyon walls, wildlife, and the rush of the current. All gear, safety briefings, and guides are included.
View PackagesB. Meal
Between adventures, take a well-earned break. Depending on your specific trip, you’ll either pack a lunch, grab a bite at a local restaurant in town, or take advantage of an express option that heads straight into the next activity. Your guide will keep you on schedule and in the know.
View PackagesC. Second Activity
Once the river is behind you, it’s time to explore on two wheels. Choose from a range of e-bikes, whether you want to cruise town streets with a cool evening breeze, tackle a trail loop like the Bar-M, or pedal out toward Arches National Park for sunset views over red rock country. Your e-bike rental includes a full suspension or endurance option to match your pace.
*The order of activities may vary depending on your trip. Please check your booking for exact details.
View PackagesExplore Raft + Bike Adventures
You want to make the most of your time in adventure country, and choosing between the river and the trail shouldn’t be a decision you have to make. A Raft + Bike package gives you both: the cool rush of whitewater in the morning and the freedom of the open trail in the afternoon. Whether you’re based in Moab or passing through on a road trip, these packages are built for people who show up ready to use every hour of daylight. The river gives you perspective from the water; the bike gives you the ground beneath you. Together, they cover the full landscape of what makes this corner of the West so worth exploring.

What to know about a Raft + Bike Adventure
Best of Both Rafting and Biking
Why settle for one adventure when the terrain offers both? A Raft + Bike package lets you experience the same landscape from two completely different vantage points, first from the surface of the river, cutting through canyon corridors you can only access by water, and then by trail or road, rolling past red rock formations and desert flora at your own pace. The contrast between the two is part of what makes the day so memorable: the guided intensity of the rapids followed by the free-range ease of a self-directed ride.
Options for Everyone
Raft + Bike packages are designed to work for a wide range of ages, experience levels, and group types. Rafting options span from calm, family-friendly floats appropriate for kids as young as 2 to more spirited Class III stretches for groups looking for a bigger challenge. On the bike side, e-assist technology means riders of all fitness levels can cover more ground without exhaustion, whether it’s a first-time rider exploring downtown Moab or an experienced cyclist pushing deep into the backcountry. The package scales to your group rather than forcing your group to scale to the package.
More Bang for your Buck
Booking a combined package is more affordable than purchasing two separate trips at full price, and it saves you the logistics of coordinating two independent bookings across different operators. With AVA’s Raft + Bike packages, everything is handled in one place: one reservation, one set of confirmation details, and one team managing your day from start to finish. You’ll spend less time planning and more time actually out there doing the things you came for. That kind of value compounds when you’re traveling with a group.
A Full Day of Adventure
There’s something deeply satisfying about a day that starts before the heat hits the canyon walls and ends with the long desert light of evening. A Raft + Bike package is engineered to fill a full day without filler with the morning belongs to the river, the afternoon and evening open up on two wheels. The timing is intentional: rafting when the water is fresh and the air is still cool, biking as the day settles into its golden hours. You leave having used every part of the day, and having seen the same landscape twice.

FAQs
A combined package gives you the convenience of one booking, coordinated timing, and a discounted rate compared to booking both activities individually. You’ll also have the same team managing your full day, so there’s no confusion about where to show up or when. It’s the most efficient and affordable way to experience both the river and the trail in a single trip.
None at all. The rafting portion is led by experienced guides who will walk you through everything before you hit the water, and the routes are selected to match your group’s age range and comfort level. The e-bikes are intuitive to ride, and the electric assist means even casual riders can cover meaningful ground without overexerting. If anyone in your group has concerns, mention it when booking and we’ll make sure you’re matched with the right options.
We offer two main options. The Full Suspension Adventure E-Bike is built for trail riding and can handle routes like the Bar-M Loop. The Endurance E-Bike Copperhead is designed for longer, road-friendly rides and is ideal for exploring downtown Moab or cruising out toward Arches National Park. Your guide can help you choose the right fit when you arrive for your afternoon session.
For rafting, wear quick-dry clothing and water shoes or sneakers you don’t mind getting wet — these should stay securely on your feet. Apply sunscreen before you go and bring sunglasses with a strap if you wear them. For biking, you’ll want closed-toe shoes and clothing that won’t catch in the chain. We recommend bringing a light layer for the evening ride when the canyon air cools down. Don’t forget water, snacks, and sun protection for both halves of the day.
The order of activities is set by the specific trip itinerary and is determined by factors like launch times, guide availability, and logistical flow. You’ll see the schedule in your booking details. The “Beat the Heat” package, for example, is designed around an early morning rafting departure to take advantage of cooler temperatures, followed by an afternoon e-bike session as the canyon light turns golden. This timing isn’t arbitrary — it’s been dialed in to give you the best version of both activities.
Yes — the featured Moab package welcomes guests as young as 2 years old, making it one of the most family-friendly options in our lineup. The Fisher Towers stretch is classified as Class II–III, which is exciting but manageable for young paddlers with a parent alongside. The e-bike portion is flexible enough to accommodate families with younger children who may want to keep things at a relaxed pace. It’s one of our top picks for multi-generational groups.
We monitor conditions closely and will contact you in advance if a trip needs to be modified or rescheduled due to weather or river levels. Light rain rarely stops a rafting trip — you’re already getting wet. For severe weather or unsafe conditions, your trip coordinator will work with you on alternatives or rescheduling. We recommend adding the optional cancellation protection at booking for full peace of mind.
