Fly over Canyonlands’ towering cliffs, winding rivers, colorful Needles District, and remote arches on a 60-minute airplane tour.

About this tour

See Canyonlands National Park from above on a 60-minute airplane tour that reveals the scale and color of Utah’s canyon country. From the air, 1,000-foot cliffs rise above the Colorado and Green Rivers, while winding drainage systems carve patterns into the terrain below.

The flight takes in Upheaval Dome at the park’s northern end and the confluence of the two rivers to the south. Continue over the Needles District, where pink and white bands stripe fanciful spires and cliffs. The remote backcountry is home to striking arches, including Angel Arch and Druid Arches, as well as Elephant Arch, Kirk Arch, Wedding Ring Arch, and Castle Arch. A headset lets you hear live commentary as you take in the scenery, with plenty of opportunities for photographs.

Departing from a meeting point 20 miles north of Moab, this Canyonlands National Park airplane tour offers a sweeping perspective on landmarks that are difficult to reach on foot. Book your flight and discover the park’s dramatic landscape from the sky.

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 8.7. Top 17% in Moab means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Moab by this score.
