“We had great time with Gabe. Very experienced guide. Kids had fun. Will definitely recommend. Do it as early in the morning as possible.”
Rappel into Medieval Chamber, free-hang 120 feet by Morning Glory Natural Bridge, then hike Grandstaff Canyon to the Colorado River.
“Great tour but be prepared. This tour is way more than repelling. The scenery was breathtaking! You hike a LOT to get to the two giant repels. If you are scared of heights and ledges like me, it will challenge you. Lots of boulders to navigate over, you cross 11 creeks and unfortunately I sacrificed my shoes to the river gods on this trip. My husband was able to avoid the water however he’s taller with a longer stride. Overall it was absolutely amazing and I would do it again, just bring shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and very sandy (fine red sand). Be sure to bring a…”

Guided canyoneering in Goblin Valley: practice rappelling, rappel into Goblin’s Lair, explore tunnels, then hike back with epic canyon views.
“This was an intense experience with hiking through the state park, rock climbing, and rappelling 100 feet down into the Goblin’s Lair, with an optional crawl through a tunnel to exit the chamber. Our guide Elsie and her assistant Amanda were very knowledgeable about the area and how to do everything we were doing safely. They provided all the equipment did a practice run with everyone on how to rappell, and encouraged us to take breaks and drink water after particularly strenuous portions of the day. It was hard but it was a lot of fun!”
Private half-day Moab canyoneering with Desert Highlights: pro guide, rappels up to 90 ft, gear and transport, and jaw-dropping canyon action.
“This was an excellent adventure! Our guide, Jake was very accommodating. The Viator site failed to tell us we would be chest deep in water at times, so we failed to bring appropriate footwear for that. Jake immediately pivoted and brought us on a different adventure that was just amazing. Two great rappels, some small stream crossings that could be negotiated without getting shoes too wet, and a 4 mile hike. A great 5 hour adventure!”
