Amazing trip. Had booked this trip as a surprise for my husband's birthday. Our pilot, Ethan, was very knowledgeable, highlighting various parts of the parks, dipping and turning so we could each get a view. We also had a view of Moab on our return, which is where we we're staying for this trip. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

This was a spectacular trip with great narrative and photo-friendly flying by Parker. Most tourists only get to see the beautiful "Island in the Sky" section of Canyonlands. But on this trip, we got to see the virtually inaccessible "Maze" section and the difficult to reach "Needles" section. It is hard to believe that these three sections, separated only by the Colorado and Green rivers, could be so spectacular yet so different from each other. We also got to see the enormous Natural Bridges that are also very difficult to reach on the ground and two arches that were big enough for the plane to fly through (but didn't). Monument Valley from the air provides a different perspective and was also amazing. This trip is highly recommended, and we would do it again.

What a treat! We had an amazing tour of Monument Valley & Canyonlands. Beautiful scenery and our pilot, Connor was excellent.
When we arrived we found out we were the only two for the tour that morning so we were put in a 4 seat Cessna. I thought I would be terrified of being in such a small plane but Connor made the trip very smooth. He pointed out sights and we were lucky to have little to no turbulence. I would totally recommend RedTail Air to anyone wanting to do an air tour of the area.

Highly recommend an air tour with Redtail! James, the pilot, was very knowledgable about the geography and geology of southeast Utah. Getting an overhead perspective answered many of my questions about the awesome weirdness of this area. Monument Valley by air was incredible! It definitely left an impression. 2 1/2 hours was a little long for me and would recommend the Canyonlands and Arches tour at 1 1/2 hours.

We saved this for our last day and so happy we did.
Great way to cap off our vacation.
Absolutely stunning views and pictures we have to last a lifetime
Tracey was our pilot and we had the plane to ourselves.
Husband was able to get great photos and I enjoyed the narrative
Was worth the price of admission! lol

Within 24 hours of calling we got an aerial tour of Monument Valley that also included Canyonlands and Arches and a bit of everything in-between. Our pilot, Craig, was a blast- great personality, informative, bright and never rushed. You see sites from the air that you would never see from the ground, including an arch that takes 17 hours each way to hike to.
Craig added some extra views of Arches that weren't bargained for because... he's Craig the GREAT pilot. Jackie, who took our reservation, was also funny and charming and witty.
It was an adventure my family will never forget.

Had a great guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable and took us to the many places
in the valley that I have always wanted to visit and firsthand due to seeing them on
movies, mostly westerns. Would recommend a trip there for all. I plan on going back soon.

We had a wonderful experience on our Monument Valley flight! We moved to Moab last year and have driven through Canyonlands and Monument Valley by car but seeing it from the air was such a thrill!
Our pilot, James, was both professional and personable - he pointed out the confluence of the Green and Colorado Rivers, the different mountain ranges, natural bridges, arches, and rock formations down below.
Everyone had a window seat with large viewing windows and plenty of leg room. There was also a 30 minute stop in Monument Valley to walk around and learn about the area! This tour exceeded our expectations and I would absolutely take a tour with Red Tail again.
