Moab's Best Backcountry Arches Scenic Flight
Description
Enjoy an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the stunning Moab, Utah. This tour offers a unique opportunity to soar above the iconic landscapes of Southern Utah and discover hidden arches, towers, canyons, and mesas that are inaccessible by foot. One of the highlights of the tour is flying over the Behind the Rocks area, where you'll witness nature's masterpieces in the form of stunning arches and towering rock formations. Marvel at the vastness of the Colorado and Green Rivers as they wind their way through the rugged canyonlands, creating a breathtaking scene that will leave you speechless. You'll also get a chance to witness the incredible Corona Arch, which bears a striking resemblance to the famous Rainbow Bridge. This natural wonder is a sight to behold and will surely be one of the highlights of your journey. Another highlight is the visit to Dead Horse Point State Park, where you'll experience panoramic views of the Colorado River winding its way through the deep canyons.

The view from Dead Horse Point is one of the most photographed scenic vistas in the world. Towering 2,000 feet above the Colorado River, the overlook provides a breathtaking panorama of Canyonlands’ sculpted pinnacles and buttes.
Corona Arch is a massive, partially freestanding arch, 140-ft high with a 105-ft opening, is located in a beautiful sandstone amphitheater high above Bootlegger Canyon

Plane trip was grand fun and Addison was a super pilot! Her knowledge about geography, history and local lore of the region was extensive and made the trip not only gorgeous but interesting. Allie at the front desk was terrific and so helpful. Redtail Air hit a home run -it was a highlight of our trip!
This was an excellent tour. Our pilot was informative and considerate. He showed us some beautiful arches, pointing out hiking trails below us, and the unique landscape of this area. Well worth it. And the helicopter was smooth and comfortable.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your Backcountry Arches scenic flight. Seeing the arches, hidden landscapes, and winding trails from above offers a unique perspective on this incredible region, and we're happy to hear your pilot helped bring those features to life throughout the tour. We're also pleased that you found the helicopter comfortable and the flight smooth. Thank you for choosing Redtail Air Adventures, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure over canyon country!
We were very very pleased with our flight …. Our pilot was named James and he was very pleasant and knowledgeable… definitely a experience we will never forget!
Thank you for flying with us! We’re so glad to hear you had an unforgettable experience exploring Moab’s stunning backcountry arches from above. James will be thrilled to know you enjoyed the flight and his insights along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again for another incredible adventure!
James the pilot was absolutely as I expected, he was calm and had all answers to my geologic questions. This is incredible to see from above the arches and river you hiked before. I can only recommend this tour ! They are amazing !
Thank you for your review of your Arches Flight with Redtail Air. We are glad you had the opportunity to learn more about geology and enjoy some fantastic views. Thank you for recommending Redtail Air!
James was an exceptional pilot, he was personable, helpful & knowledgeable about the amazing land and arches he flew us over. Great narrative, very informative. I’d recommend it to everyone. Just do it!
We are so glad that you let us be a part of your 70th birthday. We will be sure to pass this along to our pilot, James. We hope that you had an amazing rest of your time in Moab, Utah.
The personal professional experience given to our group by our pilot/guide made this tour outstanding. We had the opportunity to get a great overview of the Moab, Island In The Sky, Canyonlands & Dead Horse Point. When visiting Moab (and you should) seriously consider this tour. It is well worth it
So NOT what was advertised. We did NOT see Arches National park! We flew over Canyonlands and Dead Horse State Park. We saw one TINY arch in Canyonlands. Really messed up that it is advertised as Arches best tour. Arthur, our pilot was sweet and gave us a smooth ride, not his fault I am sure. EXTREMELY disappointed. Save your money and do another air tour.
We are sorry to hear that our air tour did not meet your expectations of flying over Arches National Park. Redtail Air offers a "Moab's Best Arches Tour" and a "Arches National Park Tour". You selected our "Moab's Best Arches Tour", which, as written in the tour description, is a scenic flight over the backcountry of Southern Utah to see many magnificent arches located outside the national park, including Corona Arch, Tibbets Arch, Jeep Arch and Uranium Arch. This tour does not fly over Arches National Park, and none of our advertising mentions flying over Arches National Park on this tour. We do have two air tours that fly over Arches National Park, a Arches National Park air tour and a combination Canyonlands National Park and Arches National Park air tour. Again, we are sorry that your air tour did not meet expectations of flying over the national park. Please do consider flying with us again on your next visit to Moab to see the national parks by air!
Highly recommend adding this to your visit to Moab. The scenery they fly over you will never see from this angle, and some you will never see at all unless you're up for a good and long hike. Their team is exceptional and informative along with very friendly
Thank you for choosing Redtail Air to be a part of your adventures in Moab. We look forward to flying with you again!
It was such a nice experience flying through Moab canyon lands and seeing hidden arches that are hard to see if hiking, Our pilot Dan was so amazing we loved it, 100 % recommend to do this while in Moab, is such an amazing experience
Great experience! Seeing Moab from the sky was incredible! Our pilot was very knowledgeable and friendly! She was fantastic!
Thank you for taking the time to give Redtail Air a nice review. We are pleased to hear that you had an informative flight. The views from the air of our National Parks are amazing!
