    FAQs

    No. You can join the packrafting tour with zero boating experience, and your guide can tailor the river section to your group.

    Bring enough food and water to be out for 3–4 hours. Pack a snack and 1–2 liters of water per person.

    Wear clothing and shoes you do not mind getting wet. Open-toed sandals are OK if they have a strap that secures your heel; avoid flip-flops.

    Jake, Kai, Joe, Eliza, Skyeler, and the rest of the crew have built something genuinely special in Moab. Reviewers consistently rave about the depth of knowledge their guides bring, whether it's geology, local wildlife, or plant life, with many noting it transformed a fun outing into a real learning experience. The booking process gets just as much praise as the trips themselves, with Kai in particular highlighted for taking time to understand what guests are actually looking for and matching them to the right adventure. The range of experiences on offer is broad, from multi-day hiking itineraries across Arches and Canyonlands to canyoneering routes with 200-foot rappels that you simply couldn't find on your own. Families with kids, school groups, and solo adventurers all show up in these reviews, and the guides seem genuinely skilled at calibrating the experience to the group. One Seattle school has been returning every year for six years, which says a lot about consistency. Safety protocols are mentioned frequently and always in a reassuring, confidence-building way rather than feeling restrictive. It's hard to find a single complaint across the board, and that kind of sustained reputation in a competitive outdoor guiding market is worth paying attention to.

    It's rare when ALL reviews are 5-stars... But I can attest as to why, and in fact I'm here to add another one! Kai was amazingly patient and accommodating to our group of 4 throughout our booking process, and she helped settle all our concerns professionally. Our guide, Jake, took us pack-rafting. He was meticulous in his safety prep. He's also very knowledgeable; he gave us a deep dive on literally every subject we brought up. All four of us had a great time, and we would definitely come back to Desert Highlights when we're back in Moab. See y'all next time for canyoneering :)
