It depends on the flight you choose. The 30-minute Arches flight highlights Delicate Arch, Courthouse Towers, and the Windows Section. The 1-hour Canyonlands flight takes you over the Needles, remote arches, and dramatic canyon systems plus the Colorado River. For the best of both, the 80-minute Combo shows you Arches and Canyonlands in one sweep. The Sunset Flight adds golden light over canyon country for an unforgettable glow.

Morning flights offer clear skies and calm air. Midday departures work well for Arches or Combo flights. Sunset flights are especially magical, with golden light pouring across canyon country. We try to schedule flights at the times of day that offer the best flying conditions.

Pack light—just sunglasses, a camera or phone, and a water bottle if you like. No special gear is required.

If weather conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll work with you to reschedule. With Moab’s desert skies, cancellations are uncommon, but you’ll always know you’re in good hands.

All tours depart from Canyonlands Regional Airport, about 18 miles north of downtown Moab. Free parking is available at the terminal.

On foot or by car, you experience the parks piece by piece. From the air, you see the full scale arches tucked into remote corners, canyons branching like veins, and rivers carving through the desert. It’s a perspective most visitors never get, and it makes everything you see on the ground even more meaningful.

Yes. Many guests pair a morning flight with rafting, a Hummer ride, or an evening Arches tour. Booking through Moab Adventure Center makes it seamless to fit your flight into a bigger adventure itinerary.
