Moab Cliffs and Canyons delivered an unforgettable experience for our whole family, including our 10-year-olds. The scenery was breathtaking, and the rappelling was genuinely thrilling -- scary in the best way, and a real confidence builder for the kids. Our guide Devin was fantastic -- especially when one of our kids got nervous. Devin stepped in with calm encouragement, and that kid ended up having a blast and walking away so proud of themselves. We felt safe the entire time. Highly recommended! read more

I reserved the 3/4 Chamisa Canyon slot canyon and rappelling tour with this company for our family of 4 which consisted of 2 adults (age 50) and 2 high-school boys. We had an amazing guide who was fun, engaging a knowledgeable about local wildlife and vegetation. After a vigorous but doable 1.5 mile hike we descended thru the canyons. We completed 3 or 4 smaller obstacles that required some roping / tethering then then culminated in the final rappel descent which is exhilarating for newbies to this sport. 100 pct highly recommend. read more

We used this company two years in a row for canyoneering and both times they delivered top notch service and a great experience. This time, actually, was even better, thanks to guides Kate and Fleur. They were exceptional in their knowledge, demeanor, and handling of the group / skillful and appropriate encouragement of individuals during the climb. We did the rockaneering, which was actually more challenging than the climb we did last year and they were able to get us through it feeling successful and accomplished. The hardest part isn't the physical, after all, and they were great about helping us reach our potential. They were also very safe and thorough, seasoned and skilled. The company provides all the gear for you, including helmets, harnesses, and backpacks. You bring your water and gumption! Good shoes are advantageous, but not required. The guides wore climbing shoes that they could also walk in. I did it in Keen sandals/water shoes, which, although not ideal, were still fine. If I were to use them again, I would wear socks with them, just for better grip. (Keen soles are good--my feet were just sliding inside the sandals a bit.) The others in our group wore hiking boots or trail running shoes.You will not need a hat, because you wear the helmet the whole time. Sunglasses are helpful. We went early in the morning, which is key in the summer, because the weather is great and not too hot. This type of adventure experience is definitely the reason to go to Moab. We would absolutely make this company our first choice for rockaneering in any future visits. read more

We did the family rockaneering with Chandler and it was better than we expected. The kids, 6 and 8, loved the whole experience and by the end felt like pros. It was a bit expensive but worth it for the memories. read more

Highly recommended canyoneering with Moab cliffs & Canyons. We did the "Moab's Best 1/2 Day Canyoneering Trip" We arrived early morning and met our guid CHANDLER. He was super friendly and professional. The rappelling experience was super fun and Chandler was very confident and responsible so we trusted him from the first moment. The hike was easy-moderate and beautiful. Great experience and highly recommended! read more

Oh my gosh! Super fun and challenging "Rockenneering" experience with Aaron as our guide. Very nice guy with Patience for our group and just very knowledgeable. I feel like having a good basic physical fitness ability would be highly beneficial. We had teens in our group who thought everything was nice and easy and then we had a few in our group (myself included) who thought it was challenging and really pushed us to put out much needed strength. Excellent family time and just a really educational experience all around. Will do again for sure! read more

This by far one of the most memorable adventures we had in Moab! Our guide was amazing and we felt safe the entire time! Chamisa Canyon was perfect for us (wife and teens included!) and the canyon when there's water is perfect for those mid to late summer canyoneering trips! Inspired us to look into lessons and the whole nine yards! read more

Had a great time on our half day of rock climbing. Our guide, Adam, took us to Wall Street in the afternoon, when it was shaded. He was fun, safe and efficient in setting up the climbs. The two of us probably did 7 or 8 routes in the 4 hours. Had a nice mix of easy to challenging climbs. Saw lots of locals climbing as well so think there's a good variety and options for people with experience. Adam was very positive and encouraging and provided good instruction on the climbs. Company was communicative and helpful. Pricing was ~120 pp. they are also known for canyoneering trips, which also looked fun. Company provided all equipment including shoes and helmets. Strongly recommend to anyone visiting the area. read more

Our guide, G, was absolutely fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and a wealth of knowledge. We did Ephedra's Grotto and it was absolutely amazing! We felt safe the entire time and loved the scenery. read more

I've been coming back to this company for the past 6 years and have done 2 canyoneering trips to Sinbad Canyon and 1 rock climb at Ancient Art. Every time has been an extremely fun and pleasant experience that I don't hesitate recommending this company to others. Safety is of utmost priority and communication before and during the trip has been always great. Simon was our guide on my most recent trip and we highly recommend him! read more

My brother and I did a tour with Cliffs and Canyons. My brother has minor climbing experience and I have little to none. Chandler was the BEST tour guide we could have asked for.

Of all the amazing things my group of 8 friends did during a very action packed weekend in Moab, in my mind nothing compares to the experience we had canyoneering. Our guides Michelle & Heather were simply great. I was able to face a pretty strong fear of heights and do a couple spectaclular rappels and then enjoy a beautiful hike out. Safe to say we'll have lifelong memories of this day. -Matt read more

Canyoneering Little Sinbad We had an awesome day with Adam of Moab Cliffs and Canyoneering. We chose Little Sinbad and this was our first canyoneering experience (have some experience top roping/scrambling.) It was amazing, highly recommend getting a bit beyond Moab and choosing wet canyoneering. Moab Cliffs and Canyoneering supplied all the needed equipment. Adam is an excellent guide and teacher; great soft skills. There are so many outfitters available in Moab ... we did some research and are so glad we chose Moab Cliffs and Canyoneering. Thanks for a magical day! read more

We did the 1/2 day Canyoneering trip organized expertly by Molly and was led by John, an intrepid and knowledgeable leader. We did some moderate scrambling, some technical canyon climbing (with a cold plunge!) and a killer 80' rappel to cap it off. Well done and highly recommended! read more

Did the canyoneering trip to Ephedra's grotto and Morning Glory bridge with the family (girls 14 & 11). It was our last day in Moab and wanted something memorable. We called and they took us in on the last minute too. We are all inexperienced and never rappelled before. Our guide Brett was awesome especially with his calm and soothing "DJ" voice. Instructions are simple and easy to follow. My 11 yr old was starting to become squeamish while waiting for her turn to rappel down but Brett was able to calm her and instruct her how to go down. Great views on top if the Morning Glory Bridge and while "hanging". Hike to and from the place was not bad, nothing too strenuous. Cliffs and canyon gave us one memorable experience! read more

Our family of four (me, husband and two boys age 12 and 10) went Canyoneering for the first time. It was an incredible experience. Our guide Jack was awesome. He was knowledgeable, approachable and made us all feel very safe. Two members of our trip had a fear of heights and Jack said the tight things to make sure they were able to enjoy the experience. We did the half day Ephedra's Grotto. The second canyon was ridiculously memorable. The hike in and out was reasonable too. read more

3 days in Moab, 3 activities scheduled with Moab Cliffs & Canyons: 1. Wall Street - Intro to Rock Climbing 2. Little Sinbad - Slot Canyoneering 3. Ancient Art - Tower Climbing All 3 were done with Adam. From start to finish, everything was outstanding. Adam was patient and professional. He was a very good teacher (not everyone is -- I'm not). My lady friend and I were both total newbies to rock climbing and to slot canyoneering, but Adam was able to build up our skills quickly, and we were champs by the end of Day 3. Summiting the corkscrew at Ancient Art was not something I was sure I could follow through with, but I did, and I'm glad I did. The other folks who helped us out at Cliffs & Canyons were helpful as well -- candid about risks and their assessments of our abilities. We walked in and booked but we got lucky, if you don't book in advance their limited guided trip slots will fill quickly. I would recommend Moab Cliffs & Canyons and their guide Adam emphatically. read more

If you are looking for an incredible canyoneering adventure while visiting Moab, UT I would whole heartedly recommend a small business tucked between 2 giants: MOAB ClLIFFS and CANYONS. There were 14 of us arriving in 4 vehicles: well rested and eager to get started ranging in age from 6 to 71. Adam calmly guided us through our paperwork as a Emily gauged each of us for our Company provided back pack filled with all of the necessary gear to have a SAFE and FUN adventure with room left over for our incidentals. They even provided healthy snacks and bottles of water for the day ahead! Energy was high as we made our final pit stop, collected our back packs and headed for the van. Adam and Emily fielded our questions with knowledge and good natured humor... it was very obvious that they love what they do and enjoy sharing their passion with others. As we neared our destination, the conversation became more serious as Adam asked for our attention and covered safety issues and briefed us on what was expected of us. Our friend, Mike, had previously been out with MOAB CLIFFS and CANYONS and was now trusting them with the majority of his immediate family: 2 grandsons from FL, a grand daughter from CA, 2 nephews from NYC, 2 sons, a daughter-in-law and 2 couples that are long time friends. As we started down the trail I had to smile as the children fell in behind Adam like little ducklings. The great thing is that he had kindness and patience with all of us, but especially the children: part mountain goat and frisky like all young creatures yet they listened when he spoke to them and came to heel quickly eager to see what came next. We learned to take wrist grips to help each other up the more difficult ascends; follow instructions and enjoy the snow melt pools in the slot canyons as the day warmed considerably. Adam and Emily shared lead and tail, working together seamlessly teaching us and building our confidence so that by the end of our day everyone was eager to trust their gear for our 100' rappel. We felt like family as we returned to the van to head back to town. We would all go again! We will certainly see them again if back in the area and recommend them to our families and friends. Thank you Adam, Emily and MOAB CLIFFS and CANYONS!! Cheryl from FL read more

Highly highly highly recommend CHANDLER!!! Ask for him!!! We did the Looking Glass climb today and had the best experience!!! I had only done an indoor climbing once and my boyfriend had done it twice so we were pretty much beginners. Chandler is very knowledgeable and you can tell he LOVES what he does. My boyfriend is afraid of heights but with Chandler's guidance, he was able to make it all the way and free rappel down. It was such a great experience for both of us and definitely a highlight of our trip in Moab. We felt completely safe and can't recommend him enough. Do it guys! read more

What an amazing day!! Cam was so supportive and encouraging. I am a bit afraid of heights so I was a little tentative but he was extremely patient and we felt completely safe with him. We made some great stops along the way where he taught us about plants and other things. It was a very hot day but in the afternoon most of the hike was in the shade. Experience was incredible. Highly recommend it! read more

Moab Cliffs & Canyons - First repell - Climbing Near Me - Moab, Utah

Great tour! We loved it. The guide was very knowledgeable and answered a million questions as we hiked and rappelled throughout the day. He was great with the more nervous members of our group, and very laid back in the approach to the day. We didn't even realize that we would be passing through an amazing arch - so that was a huge bonus! One tip - book your trip directly through Moab Cliffs & Canyons. We spent days trying to book through the Moab Adventure Center and getting bad information, like if our group was only 3 and not 4 that they wouldn't take us out. We finally got in touch with them directly, and it was no problem! read more

I booked Cliffs and Canyons last week after reading a review on Trip Advisor. I am here to tell you the review was right on. My 3/4 day trip was amazin, my guide Riley was awesome.

Planing to do the multi day trip this fall and requesting Riley as my guide. Thanks Riley !! read more

We went on 2 trips with C&C last week. The 1st was a rock climbing excursion to Wall st with Joe. Joe was awesome with the kids, we all had a great time and felt we were in good hands the entire time. The 2nd trip was with Brent on a hike thru the Fiery Furnace. This was a great hike and worth every penny we paid for the guided hike. Brent knows the area really well and really focused on our love of bouldering in the canyon. These 2 guides are great and I would highly recommend C&C! read more

I reached out to a few different agencies to see how receptive they would be in helping me propose to my long time girlfriend. I always envisioned something scenic and the arches in Moab was ideal. A few agencies wrote back to me, but Moab Cliffs and Canyons stood out from the rest. I worked with Chelsea on planning this special moment and couldn't be happier. She was enthusiastic and had plenty of ideas. She and my eventual guide, Dustin, went out earlier to scout for the perfect area. Chelsea sent me emails and pictures with potential spots. She even picked up a home-made sign from me at my hotel. I really appreciated all the help and felt like they were just as excited as me :) Chelsea recommended doing the Rockaneering half day trip. We booked a private sun-set session. Dustin was our guide and was also really knowledgeable and laid back. He told my fiance he needed to "take pictures to update the website" but really was snapping our special moment the whole time. The rock climb wasn't too touch, but there were two pretty strenuous climbs. When we eventually reached the summit, it was absolutely breathtaking. There was not another person in sight. No noise from traffic--Moab was truly stunning. All the while we were hiking, Chelsea's boss Brett trailed not too far behind, out of sight. He was able to take some real good pictures too. Brett also set up my sign underneath a beautiful arch way off in the distance from where we were. While catching our breath, Dustin handed my fiance a pair of binoculars to use. You could make out my banner from the naked eye--Brett also set rocks around it in the shape of a heart--but you'd definitely needed the binoculars to read it. By the time she read it, I was already on bended knee. Dustin was able to capture our moment on camera. It was perfect. I really couldn't ask for a more special moment and I have to attribute a huge amount of credit to this company. The people here are really kind and attentive, you will not be disappointed. Thank you so much Chelsea, Dustin, and Brett. You guys are awesome! Nate M read more

Went 1/2 day climbing with Chris Hill and had a great time! My husband and I are at different levels of climbing (he's better) but we both had a great time! It was challenging but still amazing! We learned new techniques and I did crack climbing for the first time. Will definitely come back one day to do the summit climb Chris told us about... (once I get better)! The next day we went 1/2 day canyoneering with Chris Houde and a small group! He took us on a wonderful hike which some of it is unmarked and apparently in training they make the guides do the route in the middle of the night... So he definitely knew the route without a problem. Very safe! Rappelled down a couple nice drops! Both Chris's were great and told us a lot about the area and the history about Moab. Also had great suggestions of where to eat and what hikes to go on in Arches and Canyonlands (where we went the 2nd half of the days)! The whole staff is great and super helpful! Was such a pleasure to meet some of the team! read more

Went on a 3/4 day canyoneering trip with my Dad and our guide Chris to Little Sinbad Canyon yesterday and it was epic! Chris was very knowledgable, friendly, and informative about technique, the landscape, and the city of Moab. The sights were breathtaking and the technical points of the trip were really exciting. I'd definitely recommend this business to friends and hope we can get back out here again! read more

Our son ( 11 y/o) went with James at Moab Cliffs and Canyons for a 1/2 day rock climbing trip. Our son had climbed with a team for 2 years in LA in a gym.
