Shuttle Rates for River Trips in Utah's Canyons for 2026
Shuttle Rates & Policies
All rates shown below are current for the 2026 season
What's Included
Unless otherwise noted, all shuttle rates include round-trip transportation for passengers, their gear, and any boats rented from Tex's Riverways. Transportation begins and ends at our facility in Moab, Utah. If you're bringing your own boat, an additional transportation fee applies (listed below). You can view our boat rental rates HERE
Transportation is provided using Tex's Riverways' shuttle vehicles only. We do not shuttle personal vehicles.
Vehicle Parking
During your trip, your vehicle will be stored in our locked, gated lot behind our office.
To help ensure we have enough parking for everyone during our busiest months, we ask groups sharing the same river permit to limit the number of vehicles they bring. These parking guidelines are generally enforced only when parking is limited, primarily during May, September, and October.
Parking Guidelines
- 1–3 people: 1 vehicle
- 4–6 people: 2 vehicles
- 7–9 people: 3 vehicles
- Continue this pattern for larger groups.
Please note:
- RVs, camper trailers, buses, and box trucks cannot be accommodated.
- Vans and truck campers are welcome.
- Trailers count as a vehicle.
- Groups of one to three people traveling with a trailer are welcome to call us to see if we can make an exception.
Additional Information
- Prices shown do not include sales tax.
- Service animals are transported at no additional charge.
- We do not shuttle pets or other non-service animals.
- We do not provide flatwater pick-up shuttles for rafts*. Rafts may be picked up only by chartering a jet boat for the day.
- We do provide launch (drop-off) shuttles for rafts beginning Cataract Canyon whitewater trips.
*Rafts are defined in our system as inflatable boats that are too large to be paddled with a kayak paddle.
Cancellation Policy
We require a $100 per person deposit to confirm your reservation. Deposits are nonrefundable for any reason at any time. We highly recommend investing in trip insurance to cover any financial loss on your behalf due to unforeseen circumstances. More information on trip insurance can be found at www.travelguard.com
