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.

We had such a great experience on the trail with Jake, our guide! He was so kind and patient with our kids. We all had the time of our lives and will recommend this tour company to everyone we know traveling to Moab.

This was our 2nd time canyoneering with Desert Highlights. Our first time was back in 2006 when it was just me and my husband. And the 2nd time was last fall, with our teen and pre-teen kids. Both times, Desert Highlights not disappoint. We had a great time and felt safe the whole time. Hoping for 3rd, 4th, and 5th times….

Thank you so much for coming out for another trip with us! It's always so fun when people bring their kiddos back to Moab many years after they visited themselves. Kiera had a great time with your family - please let us know if you're in the area again!

We could not have had a better time out in the beauty and arches of the surrounding area of Moab! And it was all due to Desert Highlights and our amazing guide, Kiera. Truly a professional organization and all the energy goes into making one's experience fun and safe. And safety when canyoneering is most certainly important. Kiera was so wise and firm, yet kind with her approach to guiding. All of which was so welcome and needed with my fear of heights which was not an issue on this adventure. I highly recommend Desert Highlights!
