Special Dietary Needs
We understand some of our guests may have special dietary needs. Because all of our meals are prepared fresh we can easily prepare small portions of food to meet those needs. We do depend on you to let us know your dietary needs at least 21 days prior to the trip. (Late changes may incur a $25 change fee.) Once we are on the river there are no stores to pick up additional supplies. Please keep in mind that Moab is a small town and some of the labels you are used to may be difficult for us to find. Listed below are some examples of common substitutions we make.
Vegetarians & Vegans: We bring plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables along with hummus, tofu, veggie-burgers and other proteins. For vegans we bring soy products and other non-dairy options.
