    So much fun at age 70!

    Had a great experience rappelling Morning Glory Arch, and walking back along the Grandview slot canyon. Our guide Matt and Kenyon (sp?) were very good and knew a lot of interesting things about the geology of the rocks and of the slot canyon. We felt very safe rappelling down the cliff faces and during the rock scrambles. I would recommend this trip hghly.

    You’ll regret not trying!!

    Loved our A.M. Morning Glory Arch rapel/canyoning tour with Moab Adventure Center. Two guides and four guest. Approximate 1.5 mile hike in, 2 repels (125 ft and 80 ft I think?) and 2.5’ish mile hike out with a bit of scrambling. No experience needed. They were very patient with me prior to booking and answering all my questions. We have done this before in other countries, but wanted to better understand the difference between their 2 tours. The tour was the perfect mix of adventure, but not so much that we questioned what are we doing at this age?! 😂 Guides were informative, helpful & patient. Transportation provided to/from our local cabin. Discount available if book multiple tours. They did not take photos for you as their focus is safety the guests. Get to know the other people in your tour and take photos/videos of each other. Take turns going first so you can all have videos of yourself from the top and bottom floor angle. Exchange at the end. Fun Moab water bottle & easy snacks provided to put in your pack. I would recommend a morning tour to avoid heat. Again, experience not needed to do this. You won’t regret trying! You will regret not trying!

    The Quickest Way Down the Canyon Wall

    I basically tossed a coin and booked this excursion over a day of rafting and I 100% made the right choice. When we visited in early August the water level on the Colorado was very, very low and so anyone we spoke to who did the rafting trip thought it was just okay. The Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch experience was anything but just okay. Our guides (Ben and Canyon) were outstanding. They were knowledgeable, very patient, and clearly want you to enjoy the experience as much as they do. You will never feel rushed and you will end up with pictures & videos that are incredible. Finally, if you are worried about your ability to do it...Don't. Just go for it. Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! It sounds like your "coin-toss" led you straight to an incredible adventure. Ben and Canyon are absolute pros at making sure everyone feels confident, patient, and thoroughly immersed in the experience. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to them both! We're thrilled that rappelling down Morning Glory Arch was a highlight of your trip and that you walked away with unbelievable photos and memories. We hope to see you again!

    Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.

    How much does Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moab usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moab is not rushed.

    Is Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moab can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moab and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moab within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Moab?

    +

    Moab is the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands: sunrise arch tours, 4x4 runs on Hell's Revenge, Colorado River rafting, canyoneering and dark-sky stargazing. Park entry timing systems change often, so we weight tours that handle reservations for you. On Outty we rank every Moab experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HIGHLY RATED U-DRIVE Moab Hell’s Revenge UTV Off-Road Adventure, BEST! Hell's Revenge U-Drive 4X4 Tour in Moab +Dinosaur Tracks!, 5-STAR Moab Hell's Revenge UTV U-DRIVE TOUR + DINO TRACKS. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Moab?

    +

    April to May and September to October, avoiding peak summer heat. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Moab?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch?

    +

    Included: Climbing Gear & Safety Equipment; Bottled water; Snacks; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch?

    +

    Please check in 20 minutes before departure at Moab Adventure Center 225 South Main Street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Canyoneering Morning Glory Arch offered in?

    +
