Rappel through deep, narrow Poison Springs slot canyons on a private guided tour
7-9 hours
Guide, helmet, harness
Explore deep, dark slot canyons with rappels and scenic narrows on a private canyoneering day with your guide. Start from the rim, descend through polished walls and drops, then hike back out to the trailhead.
Difficulty is moderate to difficult. Minimum age suggested is 12, with exceptions sometimes possible.
Less than 10: Cancel 2+ weeks out for full refund. Within 2 weeks but outside 48 hours: $20/person deposit charged. Within 48 hours: no refund. 10+: 10% deposit required and non-refundable unless guides cancel due to weather. Full refund if your guide cancels due to bad weather.
Wear closed-toe hiking shoes and hiking clothes you don’t mind scuffing up. The canyons are narrow and abrasive, and depending on recent rains you may get your feet wet.
Bring water in bottles (enough for 7–9 hours; 2 liters per person, more in summer), food and snacks, and a hair tie if you have long hair (you’ll need it tied back while on rappel). Optional but recommended: sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and a camera.
Yes. Everyone in your group needs to sign an Acknowledgement of Risk Form when you arrive at the shop.

This Moab-based outfit has earned an incredibly strong reputation for their canyoneering, rappelling, and national parks tours. What stands out most in the feedback is the exceptional quality of their guides. Jacob, Jake, Preston, Madison, and owner Kai all get praised repeatedly for being patient, knowledgeable, and skilled at adapting to different comfort levels and abilities. Multiple families mention nervous kids who ended up having a blast thanks to guides who took extra time to build confidence without any pressure. The private tour approach seems to be a real differentiator here. Reviewers love having guides focused solely on their group, which allows for personalized pacing and more thorough instruction. People rave about the variety of experiences offered, from beginner-friendly rappels to slot canyons and packrafting combos. The attention to detail impresses too—guides handle all the logistics, bring snacks, cook meals on overnight trips, and even snap photos so everyone gets in the shot. Several families have returned multiple times over the years, which speaks volumes about consistency. If you're looking for a reliable, safety-focused operation that genuinely cares about creating memorable adventures for all ages and experience levels, this comes highly recommended.
What a great experience due to our guide. We had scheduled for 2 half days and were able to extend one day into a full day. She paced the hiking and selected trails that fit our abilities. Led us in directions that avoided crowded pathways. Made sure we were safe and saw everything we hoped for. She brought extra water and snacks to be on the safe side. You should totally do this guided experience!
