Had an amazing tour with Sean Roberts! I highly recommend requesting him if possible. Extremely knowledgeable of the terrain, geology, and history of the region.

We lucked out Canyoneering Rock of Ages with James, but now you are reading this review so you know to go with this company! James was super safe, supportive, & fun. Great local knowledge of canyons but also Moab more generally. An awesome morning!

Had a private tour with Gabe in to the companies ‘Zero Gravity’ Canyoneering location. The route was pretty technical for beginners, but we had an absolute blast. Gabe was knowledgable, engaging and professional. All the equipment was provided for our safety and to keep our bags dry, which was pretty essential for this particular canyon, as you spend a fair amount of time in water (which we wanted!), the more technical areas of the tour were a lot of fun, but not for the faint hearted. There are areas where it gets very tight indeed, so if you’re claustrophobic, maybe skip this one! If you’re up for a really fun adventure with rope décents, tight rock gaps, loss of rock pools to swim through, and some incredible scenery, this is the one for you! I personally would note to wear old shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting sort of trashed or at least very wet and dirty! And bring a spare set of clean clothes for the drive back!
Epic tour, great guide, a lot of fun! Thanks to Gabe for his enthusiasm, really rubbed off!

Wow Zero-G was everything we were hoping for and more. Tons of water, 3 rope sections, lots of shimmying (my new favorite word) and all led by our amazing guide Sean. Such a great dude. Very professional and also cool to hang out with. We seriously couldn’t have asked for more. 10 out of 10 and we’ll be back one day for sure!

Gabe was our guide and he was fantastic. My parents and my brother and I had a fantastic time. He was very professional and clearly knew what he was doing on the ropes. We didn’t feel rushed and enjoyed a great day outside.

We booked a 5-hour private canyoneering tour with Sean Roberts as our guide. It was a great experience as we hiked up, and rappelled down, the Bow and Arrow Canyon. My 14 year old was a natural and really wants to do this again.

James Xu was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! He has a strong skill set and was very knowledgeable on how to maneuver us out of sticky situations. He was very encouraging and supportive and just made our experience super fun and memorable. I would highly recommend the Ox canyon tour and ask for James Xu if you can!!

My wife and I took a canyoneering tour with two other couples we are on vacation with and were led by the AMA certified guide James. This has been a bucket list experience I have always dreamed of doing, and I was excited to be able to do it with my wife and friends to share the experience. What I imagined the tour to be like from photos of slot canyons to what it actually cannot be described in words, except it was epic, and surpassed all my expectations away. The Rock of Ages tour was a long day, but their was a lot of technical scrambling and sights to see from beginning to end. We did the Delicate Arch hike the day before which was challenging for some in our group and just a workout for others. The Rock of Ages tour felt less demanding but was a much longer day.
My wife had some challenges with the first 140’ rappel (which is across from an arch) and was extremely intimidated, but James with the calming voice and demeanor eased her fears and got her to self rappel followed by cheers from our friends when she descended to the grounded and her laughter!
The second rappel was 90’ and we had the assistance of a guide in training named Ian, which allowed us to do a couples rappel together! It was a great experience!
The third rappel was 110’ and over a visually stunning overlook and a very technical set up, which again James did a great job getting us all tied in one by one and rappelling down.
I have about 80 hours of training in high angle rescue from Albuquerque and was assigned to a mountain search and rescue team and have trained for technical recoveries. Despite this, I am humble and aware of my own limitations from age and limited experience compared to a local climber and AMA guide like James! What I appreciated was every rappel was set up with redundancy in the system so we were on two lines at all times, the main rappel line which we controlled and a back up line on a Munter hitch which James controlled as a back up, just in case line. He also set up some very complex systems for the rappel system with a fiddle stick which allowed a quick detachment of the entire belay/rappel system once he reached the bottom.
We all had such a great time and we were all talking about it all night and planning our next canyoneering trip!
I plan on taking my 17 year old son on one of these tours also and I will definitely be going with this company!

James was a wonderful guide, coach, motivator, and teacher. Our group had all different experience levels and ages (20s to 50s). He was extremely safe, patient, and pushed each of us just outside our comfort zone where that valuable self growth occurs. We all left feeling accomplished, and hungry for more. Additonally, James had a plethora of knowledge about geology and Utah's environment. He was funny, interesting, and also professional. We were super impressed. I highly recommend this experience.
