Thrilling Beautiful UTV Ride near Moab Utah

Early morning was a terrific time to take this thrilling ride through the sliprock just east of Moab Utah. The UTVs were ready, and clean, the registration process a breeze, with good parking and a nice facility. Our wonderful tour guide, Danny was experienced and very friendly, made each participant welcome. Then came the ride! Thrilling tracks through the canyons and up along ridges, with spectacular views, even the Colorado River! With a few stops to catch our breath and learn something about the landscape, it was a great time for all, drivers and passengers, and for all ages. Early morning better, as the trails got more vehicle action later in the morning. Highly recommended!

Fun adventure

A very interesting tour of Canyon lands! Our guide, Marsha was a fountain of information about the history and geology of the area. She took great care of her guests – we stopped at one point, and she brought out water, fruit, and snacks for us. We did the tour in the late afternoon and we’re able to see a beautiful sunset – highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful Recommended Enjoyable . We can't say enough about this awesome experience. We were fortunate to see wild life along the river. We saw deer, sheep, quail, ducks, heron etc. Our guides were knowledgeable about the area and shared informative information about the areas history and geology. They were personable and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. There were parts of the river that were calm and some areas that had mild rapids. They navigated with confidence and we always felt safe.

Rapelled safely an A+ experience <3

It was a very exhilarating hike, great views, and very organized. One of our family members was deathly afraid but after the first rappelling Nate made it so re-assuring by explaining the details of the rappelling. We are not experts but Nate made us all feel we understood the safety rules and guidelines. Kudos to Nate for a job well done in keeping us well informed. The history Nate gave us was another informative feature from running water, walls, rocks, flowers, drawing caution to poison ivy, cottonwood trees at the tail end on our way back to the parking lot. We would recommend Nate as a perfect guide, we couldn’t ask for a better person to take the lead.

Obviously Brutus was the...

Obviously Brutus was the star of the show! Really loved Mike served in the military and we are so thankful for his service. Huge shoutout to Mike for an AWESOME tour in Moab! Fair warning though… this man has apparently made it his personal mission to keep innocent tourists in a constant state of mini heart attacks. 😂 Just when you think you can relax and enjoy the views… BAM… Mike strikes again. Multiple times. I won’t spoil the surprises because honestly, getting scared is apparently part of the package deal. LOL. My 11-year-old son thought it was the greatest thing ever and has not stopped talking about it since. He already wants to go again… meanwhile I’m still trying to recover emotionally. 🤣 10/10 experience, amazing guide, unforgettable memories, and mild trust issues afterward. Highly recommend!
