River Cruise in Utah? It’s Actually An Amazing Experience
River Cruise in Utah?
Cruising has become a big deal. It has grown from skipping around the ocean to taking a tour of the world’s rivers. That has extended to a river dinner cruise in Utah. Wait, a river cruise in a state full of monstrous mountains and fast-moving rivers?
Yes, Moab is home to the Colorado River dinner cruise. It isn’t a big ship with cabins that you can sleep on for days, but it is a great way to see the river with a guide. Not only will you experience the mighty Colorado, but it also includes a delicious dinner.
How to Showcase a River that Carves Through Canyons
It starts by boarding an open boat with comfortable seating and a guide with a microphone. Now comes the innovative way of highlighting the story of the canyon and the stunning canyon walls on either bank.
Using 40,000-watt spotlights they light up sections of the rock while professional narration takes place. Of course, this part of the cruise happens after dark and the scenery is majestic lit up that way with the stars winking overhead.
Perfect for an Amazing Not Too Far Getaway
The soundtrack and music as you move along the water are inspiring. They tell the history of the native peoples that made the river their home, those early pioneers who settled it later, and the dinner comes highly recommended.
