Moab Canyoneering and Repelling
Had an amazing time! Our guide Kat was awesome! Our family had a blast especially the canyoneering and repelling!
via Tripadvisor
Unique experience in a wet canyon
My husband and 10-year-old son went with Kat canyoneering in Black Dragon. We wanted to do a wet canyon. My husband and I had repelled one time before. My son had no experience. It was a wild adventure. The scrambling was relatively easy. We were not ready for how cold the water was. But we were at the end of the season where they only do wet canyon tours if it’s hot outside which it was. The water was freezing, but it was a fun experience. One thing I didn’t think about beforehand was the fact that their water is stagnant Canyon water. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve brought hand sanitizer for when we wanted to snack. We all wore long sleeve sun, shirts, and shorts. And I thought that was sufficient. The moments we got cold we just sat in the sun and warmed up very fast. The water also made for a fun different experience. Some of the areas were deep enough that you could jump in others were up to your knees or lower. We had two repels. Both around 50 feet. It was pretty intimidating, but our guide really helped us get down. All three of us were very nervous at the start. Cat was very encouraging and I felt very safe despite the fact that I was still nervous. We would for sure do another tour with them. Booking was easy. I suggest calling them because they have some canyons that they don’t advertise online. That might be an option for your group. The communication was great.

Epic adventure!
Epic experience for our family of 4 (2 teenage girls age 13 & 16). Was such a rush repelling down a 120' wall! Our guide Gabe was great!

Fantastic hike with 4 exciting rappels
It was 3 of us (ages:two 40-somethings and my father-in-law is in his 70's) for the Bow and Arrow half- day with our guide Gabe. We loved it! It was so fun! Gabe was outstanding! Everything, from communication about our meeting time, to safety talk, to hiking, to rappelling was excellent. We all loved Gabe.

Awesome guides and Staff!
We had an amazing time with our guide Kat! I cannot say enough about her expertise and her friendly, calming & confident way she treated everyone in our group and worked with our varied physical abilities. We booked directly and the staff were super responsive, answered all my questions over the phone and friendly! Moab is a beautiful place to explore, and we will definitely use Moab Canyon Tours again!

Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.
How much does Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 474 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours)?
+
Around 166 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) 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 Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours)?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; Helmets Harnesses Belay Devices Ropes Goves; and All Necessary Gear. Not included: Sales Tax; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 40 listed pickup locations in and around Moab.
What languages is Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours)?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Moab Private Half-Day Canyoneering (4 Hours) if the weather is bad?
+
