Had a great experience rappelling Morning Glory Arch, and walking back along the Grandview slot canyon. Our guide Matt and Kenyon (sp?) were very good and knew a lot of interesting things about the geology of the rocks and of the slot canyon. We felt very safe rappelling down the cliff faces and during the rock scrambles. I would recommend this trip hghly.

Our guides Sam and Matthew were phenomenal! They were super informative and answered all of our questions. We had so much fun and felt safe the entire time. Would 100% recommend doing this.
Loved our A.M. Morning Glory Arch rapel/canyoning tour with Moab Adventure Center. Two guides and four guest. Approximate 1.5 mile hike in, 2 repels (125 ft and 80 ft I think?) and 2.5’ish mile hike out with a bit of scrambling. No experience needed. They were very patient with me prior to booking and answering all my questions. We have done this before in other countries, but wanted to better understand the difference between their 2 tours. The tour was the perfect mix of adventure, but not so much that we questioned what are we doing at this age?! 😂 Guides were informative, helpful & patient. Transportation provided to/from our local cabin. Discount available if book multiple tours. They did not take photos for you as their focus is safety the guests. Get to know the other people in your tour and take photos/videos of each other. Take turns going first so you can all have videos of yourself from the top and bottom floor angle. Exchange at the end. Fun Moab water bottle & easy snacks provided to put in your pack. I would recommend a morning tour to avoid heat. Again, experience not needed to do this. You won’t regret trying! You will regret not trying!
Great combination of rappelling and hiking. Our guides explained things extremely well so always felt safe, leaving us to just enjoy the experience and gorgeous views.
I basically tossed a coin and booked this excursion over a day of rafting and I 100% made the right choice. When we visited in early August the water level on the Colorado was very, very low and so anyone we spoke to who did the rafting trip thought it was just okay. The Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch experience was anything but just okay. Our guides (Ben and Canyon) were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, very patient, and clearly want you to enjoy the experience as much as they do. You will never feel rushed and you will end up with pictures & videos that are incredible. Finally, if you are worried about your ability to do it...Don't. Just go for it. Highly recommended.
Hello! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It sounds like your "coin-toss" led you straight to an incredible adventure. Ben and Canyon are absolute pros at making sure everyone feels confident, patient, and thoroughly immersed in the experience. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them both! We're thrilled that rappelling down Morning Glory Arch was a highlight of your trip and that you walked away with unbelievable photos and memories. We hope to see you again!

I was very nervous for the adventure. But, Canyon and Ben.’s instructions and safety introduction put me at ease. By the time they finished, I was ready to go! They were funny, safety conscientious, and just all out good guys. I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. It was a wonderful experience. I also appreciated their knowledge of the area and it’s history.
Hello! Rappelling can be an intimidating experience! We're thrilled that Canyon and Ben helped you feel safe, confident, and ready to tackle the adventure. They really are top-notch guys, and they'll be so glad to hear your kind words! Thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone with us, and congrats on an awesome trip! We thank you for your kind review and hope to see you again! Hannah Budge Moab Adventure Center 435-259-7019
5 out of 5! Our guides Ben and Matthew were exceptional. Very knowledgeable, and considerate of everyone on the tour. Such a fun experience, highly recommend!
Kennedy, Thank you for joining us on the Morning Glory Arch canyoneering tour! We're so glad you had a great experience and felt well taken care of by Ben and Matthew. All the best, Lecy Gillespie Moab Adventure Center
We took 4 kids (ages 10-13) and 4 adults on the amazing Morning Glory Arch Canyoneering Adventure. It was incredible! The kids (and some adults) were nervous about the repelling, but everyone LOVED it!! It was definitely the highlight of our 5-day trip to Moab!
Andrew, I love reading reviews like yours! I hope your group still talks about the memories made from this trip. I think our canyoneering tours in particular leave our guests feeling empowered and ready to take on new challenges. What an impactful and memorable experience to do with your kids! Thanks for choosing to adventure with us! All the best, Lecy Gillespie Moab Adventure Center
A great time for anyone willing to try something new. Never been rappelling and Morning Glory was a great experience. Ben and Matthew were also great guides and help along the way to make you feel comfortable. Mustache Matthew was great with the photography shots and making sure you don’t rappel down quicker than you should. Ben’s a fun vibe and has plenty of interesting facts along the way as well as some well timed dad jokes. Hopefully you get them on your tour, we had a group of 7 and it was a great time broken water bottle and all. @jae3iii
Joe, Thanks for the upbeat review! It sounds like you all had an excellent time on this memorable adventure. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to Mustache Matthew and vibey Ben. They'll love hearing what you have to share. All the best, Lecy Gillespie Moab Adventure Center
I was so impressed by Ben and Matthew. I have been on many of these types of tours and immediately noticed their attention to detail, safety, and education for the group. Each person in our group kept raving about how great they are. 10/10 would recommend with both of these guides.
