Spectacular views! Pilot/guide Devin was amazing in preparing my 10-year-old for his first helicopter flight, pointing out sites, and taking pics at the end of the tour. Redtail called to reschedule due to high winds and accommodated a time window that would work for us.
Exceptional value. Amazing!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the unique perspective that only an aerial tour can provide. Seeing canyon country from above truly reveals the scale, beauty, and hidden details of the landscape in a way that's impossible to experience from the ground. We're also glad Dan helped make your flight memorable. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. Thank you for flying with us, and we appreciate your recommendation and support!
Devin was a great pilot. The scenery is incredible. So glad we did this it was amazing to see all that country by air at a low altitude.
Thank you for reviewing our Island in the Sky and Canyon Country Helicopter tour. We will pass along this message to our pilot, Devin. We hope you had an amazing rest of your time in Moab, Utah.
Oh my goodness! Being above the formations and getting a bird’s eye view of such beauty was absolutely amazing! Our pilot was fantastic, handling the wind beautifully and explaining everything we were seeing. If you have the chance, DO THIS!
Thank you Laura! We are happy to know that you had a great flight with Redtail! I will be certain to pass along your kind words. We know you have multiple options when choosing a Moab adventure and we are delighted you enjoyed your scenic flight with us!
Excellent experience with Michael our helicopter Pilot. It was just the two of us so we had a little 4 seater helicopter that afforded us great views across the canyons. Michael made us feel very at ease, not that we are nervous fliers. Great commentary throughout and a comfortable flight. It has to be one of the best ways to see the areas around and between Canyonlands and Estes park. Highly Recommended.

The pilot did a great job!!!!! We were amazed at the beautiful views from above the canyons…….absolutely a must do in order to see a lot of the arches that are not visible by walking to them.A little pricey but well worth the money to see.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We work hard every day to make a memorable experience for our guests, and it is so rewarding when we get kind words from our guests in return.
We made an incredibly cool flight over the Canyon area with the Arches from Moab-Utah. The pilot was very nice and told a lot about the origins of this unique area dating from the Jurrasic era. Because you fly slowly and are agile in a helicopter, we were able to see all the beautiful phenomena from the air. Very cool experience.
Thank you for choosing Redtail Air to be a part of your adventures in Moab. We look forward to flying with you again!
Totally incredible! Breathtaking views!!! Our pilot was personable and knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as other interesting facts. The process was very easy. Highly Highly recommend.
