We had an incredible day combining canyoneering, hiking, and paddleboarding. As first-time canyoneers, we felt completely safe and well-supported throughout the experience. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to share with my teenagers. Nate was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting information about the area. Highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Moab!
Fun! Nate was an amazing guide! He made me feel at ease with my first repel, since I am afraid of heights. Highly recommend this trip.
A friend and I booked this combo canyoneering/paddleboarding adventure on a whim. For the record, we are two women of a certain age who are more used to braving a spreadsheet than a canyon. But, we thought we would be brave. Our guide, Lillian, was amazing. She explained each step of the process and kept us moving the whole time. Becuase she had such a welcoming and confident attitude, we felt completely safe and well prepared for both parts of our adventure. There's about three miles total of hiking, and while it's not difficult, you will need to prepare with water and decent shoes. The wind on the river that day became extremely gusty, but Paddle Moab worked with us and we were able to go the next morning. Over all a great company, guide and experience - totally worth the cost.
My brother and I did the rappelling and paddle boarding combo and had a blast. We were the only two in our group. Nate was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide who kept every second of the experience interesting. We had never rappelled before but felt completely safe with the equipment and Nate’s guidance. The company worked efficiently to coordinate drop off and pick up. Santo drove us up into the canyon and Christian delivered the transport vehicle to the pickup location. The entire day went smoothly and I would recommend either experience, but definitely do the rappelling and paddle boarding combo if you have the time. We rappelled and hiked down to the Colorado river before breaking for a pristine picturesque picnic. A healthy spread of sandwich meat and veggies were provided with cookies and chips as well. After lunch we had a short ride upriver before paddle boarding. We did have experience with this but still received helpful tips from Nate. The river runs adjacent to Arches National Park and views for phenomenal the entire day. All rappelling equipment was provided but bring a backpack or a way to carry water because you do hike a few miles before and after rappelling. Can’t recommend this experience enough!
Spent the day with Nate doing the Arches Canyoneering trip. It was AWESOME. Nate did a great job and was a true professional. So much fun. I would recommend Paddle Moab to anyone that wants an opinion. I will be back 100%. You will not be disappointed.
WOW! What a fun experience. We had an absolute blast on our canyoneering/paddle combo tour, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to Moab. And I can not recommend our guide enough - Thank you Collin!!!!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made us feel safe and supported the whole time. What really stood out was how well Collin tailored the experience for beginners such as ourselves. He was patient and did a fantastic job guiding us. The scenery was absolutely stunning and we got to see places I'm sure a lot of other tourist do not get to see. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to try something new, regardless of experience level. The blend of nature, excitement, and camaraderie made for a truly unforgettable day. Thank you again to everyone at Paddle Moab!
Our guide Nate Greenberg could not have been better. Taking a middle aged mom and a 10- and 11-yr old canyoneering, we were in the best hands. None of us were experienced, but we came with a willing spirit, and we were rewarded with views, new experiences, and left with some self-confidence we earned along the way. Nate was a great navigator, crowd mitigator, and coach through some natural and mental obstacles all morning. All this to say, no matter your ability, this experience made our trip to Moab a unique adventure and is highly recommended.
The entire experience was amazing! Our family had a fantastic time with Colin - who was an outstanding guide and wonderful with our kids. We did the Canyoneering part in the morning and it was a blast. It was our first time doing this and Colin made everyone feel safe and comfortable - and what an adrenalin rush it is! The hike out was beautiful and he told us all about the area, etc... Then we took a break for lunch and headed out for SUP on the Colorado river - perfect to cool down and relax in the hot afternoon. Everyone agreed it was a super fun time - definitely a highlight of our trip to Moab. You know it is good when the kids ask to do it again in the future!
Two Missourians put our trust in Nate Greenberg from Paddle Moab. Nate was very patient, instructive and relaxed for this newbie. 👍🏻👍🏻 We thoroughly enjoyed our sunny day in the beautiful canyons and on the Colorado River. Shout out to the rest of the staff who were super cool (thanks for the ponytail holder!) Highly recommend for the expertise and fun factor!
This was the best day we had in Moab! Nate was a fantastic guide! Very professional and a lot of fun. We did the canyoneering trip into medieval chamber and Morning Glory natural bridge and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We had very little experience rappelling but Nate made it easy and put us at ease. We finished paddle boarding the Colorado river which was beautiful
