Tour Overview

EXPLORE TWO OF UTAH'S MIGHTY FIVE NATIONAL PARKS AND A NATIONAL MONUMENT IN A SINGLE TOUR

Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef National Park are two of the most stunning National Parks in the West. From astounding spires to dramatically-carved canyons to cathedral-like formations, your pilot will explain how these formations developed over millions of years and showcase the unique perspectives that each of these parks provide.

These must-see areas are an hours-long drive from Moab, and the parks are over 120 miles from each other, making them difficult to see on the same day when driving. But on a scenic flight tour from Moab, you can easily see them all on a three-hour tour.

Bryce Canyon from the cockpit of an airplane

CAPTURE AN AERIAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE FAMOUS HOODOO ROCK GARDENS IN BRYCE CANYON

Bryce Canyon is the world’s premiere sight for viewing hoodoos. These tall rock pinnacles and spires densely collected together create an otherworldly scene that only gets more dramatic when you view it from the sky. Guests can spend the whole tour finding shapes within these unique formations, and your seasoned pilot will point out famous hoodoos aptly named after their form, like “The Poodle,” “Queen Victoria,” and the famous “Thor’s Hammer.”

WITNESS CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK FROM A DRAMATIC PERSPECTIVE

The wildly underrated Capitol Reef National Park is a local favorite and the reasons why become apparent the moment you soar over its terrain. Capitol Reef is packed with cliffs, canyons, domes, bridges and gigantic rock features best seen from a bird’s-eye view.

One of the tour’s most popular highlights is the Waterpocket Fold, a 65 million-year-old geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth) extending almost 100 miles long and six miles wide.

Seeing the Waterpocket Fold from the sky is the only way to witness the complete picture of this geological phenomenon.

ENGAGING GUIDES, EXPERT PILOTS AND LIFETIME MOAB ENTHUSIASTS

Our expert airplane pilots fly over every must-see view in these awe-inspiring national parks, pointing out every notable sight you may have missed if you stayed on the ground. While you soar over the different terrain of each park, your seasoned pilot will identify and describe prominent features and explain how each of these parks are integral to the distinct and timeless beauty of Southern Utah.

What Our Guests Are Saying

"Our sunset flight was amazing! The views and information were priceless! I have travelled to Moab over a dozen times and have never seen the views or had my questions answered about the amazing history and geology like we did tonight! Dan was absolutely wonderful! Expectations were beyond met, best money spent as a tourist in Utah!"

AKM
"We took our first helicopter ride ever here on the day of our wedding and it was so absolutely wonderful!! Our pilot was so knowledgeable and pointed out so many awesome points, he knew so much about the history of the region and other fun facts. All the staff at check-in were also so kind and welcoming making us feel special on our special day! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for an adventure!"

Benjamin
"If you are planning a trip to Moab to see the National Parks, you absolutely HAVE TO take a flight tour with Redtail. Sure the beauty of the red rocks in person are breathtaking but seeing them from above gives it all a whole new perspective! Jenny, in sales got us booked on a 30 minute flight over Arches for my daughters birthday. We showed up and checked in, staff was amazing, and friendly, made check in super easy. They gave my daughter a cute birthday bag of delicious cookies! We didnt wait long, and the Pilot, Dan, came and introduced himself, gave us some history of the airplanes and a wonderful tour. He was very thorough, and made it so fun for all of us. We got some amazing pictures, and we definitely will be recommending this to everyone!"

Rebecca
"Excellent aerial tour over Canyonlands and Arches NP. Pilot was great handling plane and as tour guide. Great way to get perspectives on the parks and to see things you wouldn’t otherwise unless you hiked for several days."
