Private Half-Day Canyoneering Tour in Moab

Overview

Desert Highlights is Moab's original canyoneering guide service. This half 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.

Preston was a fabulous guide to our family of 2 adults and 2 kids (9yr & 11yr). Patient on parts we had trouble with. Encouraging. Loved that this outfit takes all sizes no max or min weights. Also loved that it was a private one just our group. They were very safery concious too and chnaged our time so we got it in before storms. Thanks Preston!

Our family of 4 had an incredible canyoneering trip with Herb through Desert Highlights! He was incredibly patient with all of us and made sure everyone felt safe and confident. Herb’s extensive knowledge of the area's topography and geography added an educational twist to the adventure. The routes were perfect, offering exciting challenges and stunning views. The whole experience was very personalized and one of the best adventures we've had as a family. We highly recommend Herb and this company for an unforgettable canyoneering experience!

We brought a very large group of young men to experience Moab Canyoneering. We wanted a group that specialized in just what we needed. We chose Desert Highlights for that experience.eveeythi g went extremely well. From waivers, and planning to making sure the boys (and leaders) felt safe and courageous. Thanks to Melissa, Herb, Kai, Jake, Preston, Joe, and Kiera (hopefully, I got the names right and didn't miss anyone) were all so professional, fun, and kind. Any big groups out there that want an experience of a lifetime, this is it.
