Fun, beautiful, highlight of our trip! - This was the highlight of our trip to Moab! Our pilot, Barb, was fun and took great care of us. My spouse was a little apprehensive about his first experience in a small plane and she put him at ease with the trip right away. Highly recommend!

Best way to see the sunset - We had a great experience! Our pilot was so pleasant and knowledgeable on the history and science behind the formation of this beautiful area. We all really enjoyed ourselves. As always with sightseeing flights, plan accordingly in case the weather is bad so your party can be flexible.

Amazing Sunset Tour! - I booked this tour for the sites and sunset and it did not disappoint! First I want to mention I am scared of heights and to fly, but this flight was extremely comfortable and smooth. Smoother and wayyy more comfortably than any commercial jet flights. The tour is a must do. The views were spectacular and sunset is gorgeous. The experience of flying in a small plane is one not to miss. Our pilot, Tracey, did a great job at pointing out the sites and shared some interesting history. We saw some much and got great aerial shots. This is definitely a tour I'd definitely recommend. Thank you Redtail and Tracey for this amazing experience!

Awesome plane ride! - Ethan, our pilot was a wealth of information and expertise. He gave a lot of information about the area and knew just where to go to see those cliffs glow in the evening sunset. It was a very memorable trip. Thanks so much!

Sunset tour flight - We had a fantastic time on the sunset tour of Canyonlands. Our pilot Barbara took so much time with us making us feel welcome and sharing the schedule, letting us take pictures with her and the plane and sharing all the sites in the air. She "chased the sun" while in the sky to highlight the colors. We had an infant with us and she took time with her also. We enjoyed the trip so much...highly recommend

Splendid - Although we had to reschedule the tour to a morning due to high wind, this tour exceeds all my expectations. Canyonlands is notoriously inaccessible due to the lack of paved roads and connections between three major districts of the park. The flightseeing tour gave me the ability to see parts of the park that requires either high clearance 4x4 vehicle or hours of strenuous hiking. The view was so unique that I burnt through 100GB of storage on my camera in just 1 hour.

Sunset Flight - We had an amazing flight with Ethan. The sites we saw were incomparable! There was no way we would have been able to see and experience the vastness of Canyonlands any other way.

This is a MUST! - My wife and I booked the sunset tour of canyon lands. The flight was approx 1hr in length. Ethan was our pilot. Our flight was aboard a Cessna 172. From the time we arrived at the small local airport, we were warmly greeted and our expectations were clearly set. We were introduced to our pilot, Ethan, who was not only more than happy any questions we had before and during our flight, but also was extremely knowledgeable of the park area, as well as Moab in general. While even the weatherman is unable to get the predictions right all the time, the weather was perfect and technically speaking, Ethan handled the plane beautifully. He clearly was extremely competent and calming. If you've never flown in a small plane before, it helps to have a pilot with a calming nature, and Ethan did a fantastic job! Even down to the smooth landing and exiting the plane, Ethan was great and even was happy to oblige with taking photos of us afterward. This was the perfect gift from my wife for our anniversary. Fantastic company, great pilot, perfect flight!
