Descend a water-carved canyon on a private Moab canyoneering tour with an experienced guide, gear, and local insight.

About this tour

Explore a side of the Moab desert that few visitors reach on their own. On this private Moab Canyoneering Tour, follow a water-carved canyon route created as a technical guided experience by Desert Highlights’ founder in the late 1990s.

With an experienced guide, ropes, and the necessary canyoneering gear, you’ll descend through striking desert terrain and discover places that would otherwise be inaccessible. Along the way, hear about the area’s flora, fauna, geology, and history from guides who call this landscape home. The half-day outing includes transportation to and from the canyon, plus personalized attention for your private group. Harnesses, helmets, and gloves are provided.

Plan for 4–6 hours of activity, bring enough food and 1–2 liters of water per person, and come prepared for a moderate level of physical exertion. Choose this Moab Canyoneering Tour for a guided, hands-on way to experience the desert beyond the usual viewpoints.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.90 from 12 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Moab

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 44% in Moab means it ranks in the top 44% of tours in Moab by this score.
