Tour Overview

Moab from the air

SEE ARCHES THAT MOST MOAB VISITORS WILL NEVER SEE

There is so much more to this area than Delicate Arch. Our Best Arches Scenic Flight Tour will take you over the Southern Utah canyonlands for an intimate look at multiple remote arches hidden in the desert scenery. Our pilots will point out the Corona, Tibbets, Jeep and Uranium arches as you explore breathtaking red rock terrain. These arches have distinct shapes, sizes and locations, so each sighting feels fresh and exciting.

Moab from an airplane

FLY OVER DEAD HORSE STATE PARK FOR SPECTACULAR STORIES AND HORIZONS

An area full of remote and untouched beauty, many people underestimate the unforgettable scenery you can find in Dead Horse State Park. As your pilot flies you over the Colorado River canyons, golden plateaus and sheer cliff faces, they will share stories about how this area got its unique name, and legends about how cowboys may have leveraged the terrain to corral wild mustangs.

WITNESS LOCAL SECRETS AND HIDDEN GEM ROCK FORMATIONS

If you spend your time only in the National Parks during your Southern Utah adventure, you miss some incredible features. This scenic airplane tour will show you gorgeous backcountry views like the reflective Potash Evaporation Ponds, the Behind the Rocks vista, and Determination Towers. As you fly over these underrated areas, your pilot will share info about the scenery, like how Thelma and Louise Point was named and the important history of The Moab Fault.

One of our favorite areas you’ll look down on is Mineral Bottom and Mineral Canyon, where the winding river supports a lush green bank, creating stark contrast against the red hues of the desert. This paired with a bright blue sky will be one of the most inspiring scenes you’ll see near Moab!
