Rappelling is a blast! I would do it more often if I were confident I wouldn't plummet to my death rappelling without a guide. The hike to the rappel points was exciting, and I felt completely safe going down the cliffside. The hike afterwards was a little long in the hot, Moab heat, but it was still worth the money. Make sure to fill up your water at the spring after the second rappel point--it's one of the only two natural springs in the area that you can fill your water at. Talking to my guide was fun--he knew a bunch about the area and hearing his story was fascinating.

It was an excellent experience, at the beginning I was a little nervous since it was my first time doing rappelling but Adam, our guide, he really make us feel confident, he was fun and also very knowledgeable of the area, he even recommended us what to do around and where to eat. I would do it again. If you are in Moab and are looking to do something different and adventurous, I truly recommend doing this.

I rarely write reviews but find that this group really deserves it! I went on the Bow and Arrow Canyoneering Trip with two families of 4, my husband, myself, and our guides - Adam and Dan. The whole experience was top notch and truly felt like the cherry on top for our last day in Moab. The 3 mile hike up to the Canyoneering portion itself was beautiful and private. The canyoneering portion consisted of 4 rappels, which was so worth it as other trips had less (but longer) rappels. Most importantly, Adam and Dan were AMAZING. They had us laughing, taught us about the area, helped members along the hike, and made everyone feel safe and comfortable during the rappels. They were very encouraging and kind to those who felt apprehensive, which allowed everyone to fully enjoy this memorable experience. Thanks again! :)

We had an absolute fabulous time. Our tour guide, Adam, was amazing! He taught us how to maneuver the canyons, and he was a great guide/encourager on repelling. The hike was just right in length, and the repelling gave us some great breaks. We highly recommend this! We took our college-aged kids with us, and they thought it was a great family experience.

We had an amazing day. Our guides Emily and Dan were fantastic. We were a little apprehensive about doing this adventure but they put us at ease. They were very patient, knowledgeable and encouraging. It was absolutely one of the best experiences. I highly recommend this company.

Carl was so easy to work with and flexible in planning our trips. Our first day with Kenzie was awesome! She has such a fun but calm demeanor, she was able to assuage everyone's fears, and was thorough in her directions. I would definitely recommend the Bow and Arrow - more bang for the buck. Our second day with Brian and Ty at Morning Glory was equally thrilling. They made sure everyone was having a great time, laughing, and getting to know everyone individually. I felt confident and secure with the collective knowledge and experience of the guides. Would definitely go again!!

We had a great time going through the Rock of Ages Canyoneering experience. Our guide Brian did a great job helping with all the rigging and ropes and providing insight on the canyon. It was intense lowering ourselves over the ~100ft red cliffs but the views of the arch and the canyons were amazing. The scrambles and slots were challenging to navigate at times but that made it all the more gratifying making it through. Worth every penny for this unique experience.

Brian was an amazing guide, and we had such a blast. Even though it was challenging it was still super fun and I definitely recommend this once in a lifetime experience.

We had an awesome day canyoneering with Brian! He was very knowledgeable, we felt safe the whole time while still being able to explore- the canyon was incredible. Thanks for a great trip!!

Emily was great. Very experienced and friendly. The repelling was safe and a great experience. The hike out was interesting as the canyon had recently encountered a flood. But, made it all that much more fun.
