Mark was our tour guide and took us on an amazing adventure! He was knowledgeable, respectful, and gracious. The backcountry experience with the new jeep was one we will never forget. We have no idea how he maneuvered some of the crazy spots on the trail! We highly recommend this tour company. Mike, the owner was also great. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Was an excellent experience. Rough on the spine but well worth it! Took my son and 60 year old mom and both got around really well. The guides were really informative and great at keeping everyone safe.

This was a really fun experience. We got to see places of the park that we normally wouldn’t get to if we were not on a private tour. The off Roading was really cool. The one thing I would say is that it is very bouncy in the car as you were going over the rocks. You will want to keep that in mind. It’s not for everyone but the payoff is great.

I did not know much about the Canyonlands before arriving in Moab and after our tour I understand why people come back time and time again. The beauty of the Canyonlands is just breathtaking. I was slack jawed looking at the canyons and had a hard time believing they were real. Ric, our amazing tour guide pointed out so many things and turned this true city girl into someone who can now love and adore nature. My kids and husband felt the same, that this is what true beauty is all about.
Run to take this tour with Ric (and Mike the owner is a super nice guy as well) and you will understand what natural beauty is all about!

Ric is the greatest! Probably the best tour guide we've ever had. Luckily the other people in our group were no shows so, we had Ric all to ourselves. He's easy to talk to and within minutes it was like we'd known him for a long time. We had an absolutely awesome day in Arches. Ric took us off road. We saw several arches and parts of the park that most people don't get to see. The off roading was unbelievable! I don't know how the Jeep has the power to climb rocks. Amazing! Off roading is now my new favorite thing... bumpy and thrilling! We saw more of Arches National Park than I think most tourists see. The whole time Ric gave us info about each arch and the park itself. We stopped several times for photos and short walks. We got everything we expected and more from Ric and Adrift. This is the company to choose for all your Moab adventures!

The write up was a but different than what we got. However, our guide Rick, did a good job taking us through the backcountry. I was a little nervous at first, but Rick settled all my worries. We saw amazing things..lion tracks, dinosaur tracks, interesting plant life. Be prepared for your back to hurt later.

Mark the tour guide was very experienced going off road in our 4x4 Jeep. It was bumpy, but worth it and I am 81 years old and could take it. We were able to see views up close that you cannot see from the main road. It was fun! We saw several animals up close and that was exciting. I recommend this trip and if you go, ask for Mark and you will not be disappointed.

Bill was a fun and interesting tour guide. We learned a lot and had a great time. Fun bumpy offroad trip. And can’t beat the air conditioned jeep! Great way to see a lot of arches without the crowds and without sweating in the heat!

We absolutely loved this jeep tour. Karl was awesome…making sure we had the best experience possible. Warning…it is pretty bumpy going through the backroads of Arches National Park…but you get views that you wouldn’t get otherwise! We would definitely recommend this tour.
