Moab Rope Swing

Safety is the reason this is the only rope swing in the country that holds a BLM permit. Every harness, rope, and anchor is inspected before your jump, and the rigging uses multiple backup systems on every line. The guides have decades of combined experience, and every jumper gets a full safety briefing before stepping to the edge.

No experience needed. The Moab Rope Swing is built for first-timers, and our guides handle every piece of the setup. You'll get a full safety briefing, get fitted with your harness and helmet, and walk through the jump step by step before you ever take the leap.

The jump is from a 400-foot sandstone cliff. You step off the edge under your own power, fall for a few seconds, and then the rope catches. The pendulum carries you in a 60 mph arc across the open canyon. When the swing settles, a motorized winch pulls you smoothly back to the top of the cliff.

Yes. Guests must weigh 300 pounds or less, and the minimum age to jump is 8 years old. The weight limit is set by the rigging system and is not flexible. Kids who meet the age minimums jump with the same equipment and briefing as adults, and most do beautifully. If you're close to the weight limit, or traveling with a child near the age minimum, give us a call before you book so we can walk through what to expect. We want every jumper set up to succeed at their own pace.

We do not recommend the jump for pregnant guests or for anyone with back, neck, or spine conditions. If you've had a past injury and you still want to jump, please get cleared by your doctor first. The swing itself is softer on the body than it looks, but every jumper is different, and we'd rather you know before you book.

The Moab Rope Swing is the most intense thrill of all our tours. Our Moab Zipline Adventure is fast and airborne but controlled end to end, and Hell's Revenge is a heart-pounding Hummer ride over slickrock with your feet never leaving the vehicle. The rope swing asks you to step off the edge under your own power. If you're chasing the biggest adrenaline moment in Moab, this is it. 

No. The swing from Corona Arch was a different swing at a different location, and it was closed to the public in 2014 after a fatal accident. The Corona Arch swing was not a commercial operation like the Moab Rope Swing. The Moab Rope Swing is a separate, fully permitted operation at a different cliff, run by a professional team with federal permits from the Bureau of Land Management and full insurance.

As much as you might like to jump with them for comfort, we do not allow dogs or other pets on this adventure. Please make arrangements for your furry friends while you go on this adventure!

There will be limited, to no cell service at the area where we jump and for most of the trail to the rope swing location. Coverage is also limited at the parking area, so be sure to start your navigation before leaving Moab and use the Google Maps app. Get directions here.

There are bathrooms available in the parking lot where we meet. We encourage all our guests to use the bathrooms before we head out on the trail to the rope swing location. If you need to go again before you jump (we understand what happens when those nervous feelings hit), your guides can direct you to a private area.
