We had a truly fantastic experience. Booking was easy and the communication was outstanding from the first moment. My questions and concerns were addressed immediately. Our guide Kat was truly amazing. She is extremely experienced, very safe and gave my two nervous kiddos outstanding guidance and support. She literally made them feel like superhero’s. This was a truly memorable experience for us.
Had an amazing time! Our guide Kat was awesome! Our family had a blast especially the canyoneering and repelling!
My husband and 10-year-old son went with Kat canyoneering in Black Dragon. We wanted to do a wet canyon. My husband and I had repelled one time before. My son had no experience. It was a wild adventure. The scrambling was relatively easy. We were not ready for how cold the water was. But we were at the end of the season where they only do wet canyon tours if it’s hot outside which it was. The water was freezing, but it was a fun experience. One thing I didn’t think about beforehand was the fact that their water is stagnant Canyon water. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve brought hand sanitizer for when we wanted to snack. We all wore long sleeve sun, shirts, and shorts. And I thought that was sufficient. The moments we got cold we just sat in the sun and warmed up very fast. The water also made for a fun different experience. Some of the areas were deep enough that you could jump in others were up to your knees or lower. We had two repels. Both around 50 feet. It was pretty intimidating, but our guide really helped us get down. All three of us were very nervous at the start. Cat was very encouraging and I felt very safe despite the fact that I was still nervous. We would for sure do another tour with them. Booking was easy. I suggest calling them because they have some canyons that they don’t advertise online. That might be an option for your group. The communication was great.
Epic experience for our family of 4 (2 teenage girls age 13 & 16). Was such a rush repelling down a 120' wall! Our guide Gabe was great!
It was 3 of us (ages:two 40-somethings and my father-in-law is in his 70's) for the Bow and Arrow half- day with our guide Gabe. We loved it! It was so fun! Gabe was outstanding! Everything, from communication about our meeting time, to safety talk, to hiking, to rappelling was excellent. We all loved Gabe.
We had an amazing time with our guide Kat! I cannot say enough about her expertise and her friendly, calming & confident way she treated everyone in our group and worked with our varied physical abilities. We booked directly and the staff were super responsive, answered all my questions over the phone and friendly! Moab is a beautiful place to explore, and we will definitely use Moab Canyon Tours again!
Kat was a great guide and super encouraging for our family with kids aged between 9 and 16. It was well worth doing while you are staying in Moab.
Such an awesome tour. Kat was the best guide! Perfect adventure for our 10, 12, 14 and 16 year olds!
We had an amazing time on our canyoning tour. Kat was an awesome guide—fun, knowledgeable, and great at adapting to our group's different comfort levels. The tour was challenging in all the right ways, but always felt achievable. The water sections in the canyon were super refreshing on a hot Moab day! We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it!
James was an amazing guide! You definitely need to do this excursion if you’re in Moab! It was so epic! Learned so much from James!
