Tour Overview

WITNESS THE MOST SPECTACULAR SUNSET SOUTHERN UTAH OFFERS

Catching Southern Utah basked in a radiant sunset saturates the golden, red, and orange tones of the desert sand and rock formations for a glow that seems to come from within the rock. Soar over dramatic shadows and vistas that only get more vibrant and spectacular as the sun sets.

CAPTURE ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PHOTOS OF CANYON COUNTRY AT GOLDEN HOUR

Nature photographers should prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime to capture all the jaw-dropping scenery you’ll see on a sunset flight tour. Snap one-of-a-kind photos of the sun setting directly over the horseshoe bend at Dead Horse Point or a romantic canyon country vista in a bright golden glow. From lift-off to landing, you’ll be immersed in stunning scenery from every angle.

FLY OVER NATURAL BRIDGES, MAGNIFICENT ARCHES AND OTHER BACKCOUNTRY GEMS

Our Sunset Flight Tour highlights several iconic Southern Utah views, like the Colorado River, Potash Ponds, and Corona Arch. But your pilot will also share about hidden-gem areas that are likely to offer some of your favorite views on the tour.

A popular highlight of the tour is soaring over Moab Rim, Castle Valley and Fisher Towers when the setting sun intensifies the vivid orange, pink, and white bands wrapping the spires and cliffs.

ENGAGING GUIDES, EXPERT PILOTS AND LIFETIME MOAB ENTHUSIASTS

Our expert airplane pilots will fly over and share stories about every must-see view on this scenic flight tour so you can appreciate the sights you would miss by staying on the ground. Your seasoned pilot will identify and describe different features, point out interesting terrain details and ensure you have fantastic angles to take in priceless views of the illuminated vistas and setting sun.

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."
