Aerial tour of Canyonlands Park.

MaryKay_B, Jul 2022

We took a one hour aerial tour and had a wonderful experience. Our pilot, Ethan, was fun, professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it. We saw much more of the park than we could have by driving.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Ethan is such an amazing pilot and we are so lucky to have him! We know you have multiple options when choosing a Moab adventure and we are delighted you enjoyed your scenic flight with Redtail.

Desi was an informative and competent pilot.

Suzegal, Sep 2018

I learned a lot. Desi shared a lot of information. The views were breathtaking. We flew where a casual tourist would have had no chance of seeing. We learned history and names of rivers and geological formations. A great tour.

Great Flight

Activité très top !

GABRIEL_P, Jun 2022

La pilote d'avion est sympa et géniale. Temps d'attente ok 👌🏼 1 heure de trajet en avion, c'est suffisant ! Belle vue plusieurs canyons/paysages de Canyonlands. Je vous recommande !
