This half-day tour from Moab covers Arches National Park with a guide who drives the scenic roads and leads short walks at the stops. You meet at the operator's office on Kane Creek Boulevard, ride into the park as a group, and finish back at the same spot about four hours later. Stops named in the listing include Delicate Arch Viewpoint, Balanced Rock, Courthouse Towers, the Windows Section, Wolfe Ranch and Sand Dune Arch.
The format is a mix of driving and getting out of the vehicle. Several reviewers described it as a good balance of riding between sights and walking to viewpoints, with one calling it a perfect mix of riding in a vehicle and hiking to different viewpoints. Groups run to a maximum of 14 travellers, and past guests have described the van trip as comfortable.
It suits people who want the park's main features explained rather than just seen, including reviewers who arrived in Moab by train without a car, and travellers in their sixties and above who reported the pace worked for them. Kids under 12 get a junior ranger program, and cold drinks are provided, though food is not.
Here is what past travellers and the listing say you should know before booking.
Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, car seats are not provided, and gratuities are not included. Cancellation is free only up to 24 hours before start time. Weather and a minimum number of travellers can cause cancellation, with a different date or a full refund offered in those cases.
The park entrance fee, cold beverages, the shuttle from and back to the meeting point, a junior ranger program for kids under 12, and a professional interpretive guide are all included. Snacks, lunch, gratuities, car seats and hotel pickup are not.
At the operator's office at 745 Kane Creek Blvd in Moab. From Main Street, turn onto Kane Creek Boulevard and the office is on the left in about a mile; drive through the gates and park in the main lot. There is no hotel pickup.
The tour runs about four hours. It combines scenic drives with short walks to viewpoints, and reviewers describe light hiking and seeing a lot of the park without feeling rushed.
Yes. Kids under 12 get a junior ranger program, and the listing says pushchairs are accessible and most travellers can participate. Reviewers in groups aged 65 and over said the tour worked well for them.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window, no refund or changes are accepted. The tour needs good weather and a minimum number of travellers; if it is cancelled for either reason, you are offered a different date or experience, or a full refund.
Bring any snacks or lunch you want, since food is not included. Sturdy shoes help for the short walks at each stop, and reviewers mention getting out of the vehicle at most viewpoints.
