This was a highlight of our Utah trip from the UK. My partner and I were the only two on the 4-hour tour, and our guide Tyler was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. We really appreciated the demo station before the rappel where he explained all the gear and safety steps. The descent into the Goblin’s Lair was unforgettable, and the view inside was incredible. If you can, send someone down first with a good camera to film the others coming down. The scrambling and wiggling through tight spots made it a fun challenge, but manageable if you’re in decent shape. The free-hanging section was scary and exciting — I took it slow and loved it. Bring 3–4 litres of water each as it’s hot and the walk back has no shade. Also bring a torch if you want to explore the tight caves inside the lair. The rock formations and views were amazing, and the history was fascinating. An unforgettable experience — would highly recommend!

Memorable. The park was used in a film as an alien planet. And you sure feel it. This activity allowed us to enjoy the park up, close and personal with the goblins. With enough scrambling to feel the thrill of an adventure without been impossible to do (we are in our 60's). The rappelling into the cave gave us a novel and exhilarating way to explore. A welcomed change to all the hiking in the Utah area. Hands down recommended. the guide made us feel safe and competent.

Tyler was the best! My daughter and I had so much fun. I was a bit nervous at first with the repelling, but Tyler made us feel safe and gave great instructions. I would definitely recommend this adventure, and the surrounding area is beautiful to see.

Tyler was an amazing tour guide and the repel into the cave was an awesome experience! Some challenging climbing up and down but exciting to do it.
