Fodor's Expert Review Canyonlands by Night & Day
Since 1963 this outfitter has been known for its Sound and Light Show Jet Boat Tour, a two-hour, after-dark boat ride on the Colorado River (March–October). While illuminating the canyon walls with 40,000 watts, the trip includes music and narration highlighting Moab's history, Native American legends, and geologic formations along the river. A dutch oven dinner is included, though you can exclude it and save $10. Daytime jet boat tours are offered, too, as well as tours by Hummer, airplane, and helicopter (land and air tours are offered year-round).
