There’s absolutely no limit to the thrilling adventures a family can have in Moab, Utah from biking and river rafting to hiking, horse-riding and 4-wheeling. You and your kids can discover dinosaurs, admire ancient art petroglyphs and stargaze your nights away.

Being outdoor enthusiasts and Moab’s oldest climbing and canyoneering guide service, we at Moab Cliffs & Canyons would be delighted to add to your family’s adventures by taking you on a guided canyoneering tour of the canyonlands.

Moab Canyoneering Adventure Tours

Canyoneering involves descending down beautiful, narrow earthen corridors to uncover the secrets they contain. Exploring these canyons uses a mix of down-climbing, hiking, rappelling and the occasional swim or wade if the route passes through water-filled potholes. The canyons of Moab are the perfect place to learn the sport, expand your skills and also introduce your kids to these wonders of the Utah desert.

Moab Cliffs & Canyons offers a variety of trips including ½ day, ¾ day, full day and multi-day guided canyoneering tours through some of the most fascinating landscapes in the world. Our professional instructors will introduce or review the fundamentals of canyoneering then adapt the tour to match your skills and fitness level.

So don’t worry if you have no prior experience, we will give you an introduction to the basic rappelling, climbing and rope skills you’ll require for the trip. We also offer canyoneering courses for those interested in becoming proficient canyoneers.

Here’s what else to expect on one of these exciting tours:

  • Professionally trained guides.

Our guides also have vast knowledge of the area’s history and will give you valuable insights into the geology, plant and animal life of the places you visit. This adds more depth to your adventure and gives you a better appreciation of the desert environment.
