Private 3/4 Day Canyoneering Tour in Moab

Overview

Desert Highlights is Moab's original canyoneering guide service. This full day canyoneering tour visits a route that Desert Highlights' founder created as a technical guided canyoneering route in the late 1990's. Here, we explore an area that most people would not visit on their own. With the use of ropes and other technical gear, a competent guide and a sense of adventure, we are able to explore areas that are otherwise inaccessible. The Moab desert is our home and we are passionate about sharing it with others. During your guided tour, you will not only safely descend a beautiful, water-carved canyon, but you will learn about the flora and fauna, geology and history of the area that we are so lucky to call our backyard.

First, the short version, then I’ll expand. I had a bucket list dream to take my family canyoneering in Utah. The personnel at Desert Highlights are incredibly professional, easy-going, and I felt they were truly dedicated to making my experience with them the best possible. My wife and I are planning another canyoneering trip and would only work with Desert Highlights again. Melissa was meticulous in helping us plan this epic family vacation, and Jake, our guide treated us like gold every minute of our 2 days together. Please read on...: I decided to plan a 2-day canyoneering trip for my family. I sent out 8 emails and interviewed 8 different companies/guides. Melissa at Desert Highlights was quickly the first to respond. I was immediately struck by the enthusiasm in her voice. She was as excited to help me plan this trip for my family as I was to take them. After interviewing the 7 other candidates, I called Melissa back to discuss what other companies had promised. We had a very frank discussion and, at the end, she was clearly the one who seemed most personally invested in making my vision of this canyoneering trip a reality. Let me take a moment to expand on Melissa’s personal investment in our trip. The day before we were to fly out, the weather forecast turned badly toward rain. Melissa was clearly distraught. She made every effort to save our vacation. She emailed me a big list of all the sites we could safely visit in her area and pushed our canyoneering trip back a day to work around the weather. We ended up having a great day anyway based on Melissa’s suggestions. There was never a feeling of “oh well, that’s what happens sometimes”. She showed she was personally invested in our happiness, and clearly loves, and knows the area well. Then Jake, our guide. Soooooo patient with ALL of us!! Guiding us carefully though difficult passages, teaching us multiple rock-climbing techniques, and ALWAYS ensuring we were safe, comfortable, and having a great time! He is engaging, absolutely professional, and just delightful to hang-out with as well. He made up our camp at night, and cooked our dinner and breakfast. Please feel free to ask Desert Highlights to forward any other questions to me. You will not be dissatisfied if you plan a trip with this company.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review! We really enjoy putting trips together to fulfill a dream and/or add another check mark on the bucket list. Jake had such a great time out there with you guys, too. His love for playing in the desert is contagious, and we're glad you got to experience that! We are so glad you chose Desert Highlights after all of your research - here's to many more adventures with you and your family! -Melissa

My husband, our two friends and I spent three days exploring slot canyons with Desert Highlights in February of this year. We had a great experience. The canyons were spectacular, the rappels and downclimbs were managed safely, and the experience was totally tailored to our skill level/fitness/comfort with heights. Lunch was delicious and we even enjoyed the car ride to and from, which allowed us time to ask questions and learn about the local area - everything from geology to where to get the best Mexican food. An all-around great experience that I would recommend to anyone!
