a MUST DO while in Moab! - WOW! What a fun experience. We had an absolute blast on our canyoneering/paddle combo tour, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to Moab. And I can not recommend our guide enough - Thank you Collin!!!!! He was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and made us feel safe and supported the whole time. What really stood out was how well Collin tailored the experience for beginners such as ourselves. He was patient and did a fantastic job guiding us. The scenery was absolutely stunning and we got to see places I'm sure a lot of other tourist do not get to see. This trip is perfect for anyone looking to try something new, regardless of experience level. The blend of nature, excitement, and camaraderie made for a truly unforgettable day. Thank you again to everyone at Paddle Moab!

Nate is a Legend! - Our guide Nate Greenberg could not have been better. Taking a middle aged mom and a 10- and 11-yr old canyoneering, we were in the best hands. None of us were experienced, but we came with a willing spirit, and we were rewarded with views, new experiences, and left with some self-confidence we earned along the way. Nate was a great navigator, crowd mitigator, and coach through some natural and mental obstacles all morning. All this to say, no matter your ability, this experience made our trip to Moab a unique adventure and is highly recommended.

Fantastic time at Paddle Moab! - The entire experience was amazing! Our family had a fantastic time with Colin - who was an outstanding guide and wonderful with our kids. We did the Canyoneering part in the morning and it was a blast. It was our first time doing this and Colin made everyone feel safe and comfortable - and what an adrenalin rush it is! The hike out was beautiful and he told us all about the area, etc... Then we took a break for lunch and headed out for SUP on the Colorado river - perfect to cool down and relax in the hot afternoon. Everyone agreed it was a super fun time - definitely a highlight of our trip to Moab. You know it is good when the kids ask to do it again in the future!

Amazing, full-adventure day! - Two Missourians put our trust in Nate Greenberg from Paddle Moab. Nate was very patient, instructive and relaxed for this newbie. 👍🏻👍🏻 We thoroughly enjoyed our sunny day in the beautiful canyons and on the Colorado River. Shout out to the rest of the staff who were super cool (thanks for the ponytail holder!) Highly recommend for the expertise and fun factor!

Must do in Moab! - This was the best day we had in Moab! Nate was a fantastic guide! Very professional and a lot of fun. We did the canyoneering trip into medieval chamber and Morning Glory natural bridge and it absolutely lived up to the hype! We had very little experience rappelling but Nate made it easy and put us at ease. We finished paddle boarding the Colorado river which was beautiful

Great Day! - We had a great day with Jack. We really enjoyed the rappelling. It was very reasonable for someone with little experience with canyoneering, and felt very safe. Jack had lots of information about local geology, plants and animals, along with local tips. The paddleboarding was a great relaxing afternoon on the river.

Paddle board and Canyoneering - As a family of five, we did the canyoneering and paddle board combo with Nate as our guide. He immediately made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Canyoneering was an unbelievable experience. I am actually afraid of heights but after the initial steps over the edge, I was totally at ease and enjoyed every second! We did medieval chamber and the views were amazing! The hike afterwards was different from all of the other hikes we had done in the parks. We enjoyed a relaxing lunch before heading out for some of the most sensational paddle boarding we have ever experienced. Nate was a fantastic guide with great knowledge of the history and geography of the area and an incredible background! Truly a highlight of our Moab vacation. We would highly recommend the experience!

Canyoneering/SUPing tour - We did the combo canyoneering/stand up paddle boarding tour and has a great time. Alex was a great guide. It was nice to check out the roads that are less traveled and enjoy some time on the river. Alex made us feel safe and it was a lot of fun just chatting with him as well. Highly recommend booking something with paddle Moab

Awesome Experience - We did the canyoneering & paddleboard combo with Landon last week. It was the highlight of our stay in Moab. Landon made it fun & challenging for our 20 and 22 year olds, yet safe for me (50) and my husband (55). I am afraid of heights, but Landon was fantastic. He stayed calm and reminded me that it was perfectly safe. My husband was incredibly anxious, but loved every minute. My kids were fearless. After you repel down two canyons, there is an easy 2 mile hike back to the van. Then we went paddleboarding down the Colorado River. Our day could not have been better! Landon was incredibly knowledgeable - he knows when to keep things light and when to be serious. It is obvious he knows his craft. This may sound crazy, but if you only have one day in Moab, do this instead of visiting The Arches with hundreds of other people. Our family loved this experience!

Combo tours - We took 2 combo tours. Hiking, biking, canyoneering, rafting and paddle boarding in 2 days. Cant get any better than that. Everything was great. Our guide (Nate) made it challenging for my teenager and easy for me the 49er. Very laid back atmosphere but they definitely know what they’re doing. Wonderful experiences. Truly an unforgettable experience for me and my kid. Thank Nate!! You were awesome!
