Rescue-trained guides, all gear provided, and routes from beginner-friendly to expert — into backcountry canyons most visitors never see.
A beginner-friendly adventure that blends hiking, scrambling, and rappelling through narrow slot canyons, water-filled pools, and towering sandstone walls. No experience needed — your licensed guides handle all technical instruction and safety, from your first rappel through a route chosen for the day's conditions and your group. It is a full-body experience through remote country few people ever see. Note that all rappels are required, with no bypass, so you should be comfortable with heights.
Included: your licensed guide and all technical gear (harness, helmet, ropes, belay device, dry bag), with full instruction from the very first rappel. Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes, a swimsuit, water, and a sense of adventure.
Our canyoneering guides are trained in canyon rescue — not enthusiasts with a rope and gear. You are in experienced hands from the first rappel.
Family-owned and locally run. We have been guiding Moab's canyon country since the beginning.
Harness, helmet, ropes, and the full technical kit are included on every trip. Just show up ready to move.

From accessible slots near town to Robbers Roost and the deep backcountry, we take you into terrain most visitors never reach.

★★★★★Zero experience going in and it was the highlight of our Moab trip. Small group, great guide, and canyons we never would have found on our own.

No. Our half-day intro is built for complete beginners — your guide teaches you everything from the first rappel. We also run moderate and expert routes for those who want more, so we can match the trip to your experience.
Our canyoneering guides are trained in canyon rescue, not just recreational rope work. They brief everyone before the descent, manage the technical systems, and keep groups small so there is real oversight the whole way through.
We provide all the technical gear — harness, helmet, ropes, and hardware. You bring sturdy closed-toe shoes that can get wet, comfortable clothes you can move in, water, sun protection, and a small snack. We will confirm the full list for your specific route.
For the beginner intro, a reasonable level of general fitness is enough — you should be comfortable walking on uneven ground, scrambling over rock, and lowering yourself on a rope with guidance. Longer and expert routes ask for more, and we will talk you through what to expect for your trip.
Our intro canyoneering trip is generally open to teens and up. Age and suitability vary by route, so tell us who is in your group on the form and we will recommend the right descent.
Plans in canyon country change fast. We offer free cancellation and date changes up to 24 hours before your trip, based on availability. Optional trip protection is also available at checkout for added flexibility.
