About Tag-A-Long Expeditions
Tag-A-Long Expeditions is one of Moab's most established adventure outfitters, operating since 1964 and holding some of the oldest commercial permits for the Colorado and Green Rivers in southeastern Utah. Their six decades of experience make them one of the true pioneers of Moab's outdoor recreation industry, predating the mountain biking boom and the rise of modern adventure tourism by years. They remain family-owned and deeply rooted in the local community.
Their trip menu covers an impressive range of activities, including half-day and full-day whitewater rafting on the Colorado River, multi-day wilderness float trips through Cataract Canyon, guided four-wheel-drive tours into Canyonlands National Park, and jet boat excursions on calm river stretches. Combination packages pair a morning raft trip with an afternoon Jeep tour, maximising the Moab experience in a single day. They also offer specialised trips for photographers, geology enthusiasts, and school groups, with itineraries tailored to specific interests.
What distinguishes Tag-A-Long from newer operators is the depth of their institutional knowledge. Guides often have decades of river and desert experience, and the company's longstanding relationships with the National Park Service and Bureau of Land Management give them access to some of the most pristine and less-trafficked areas in the region. For visitors who want an authentic, well-run Moab adventure backed by sixty years of expertise, Tag-A-Long Expeditions is a benchmark operator.
