Moab Tours: Experience Utah's Red Rocks in Climate-Controlled Comfort (2025 Guide)

Let's be honest, Moab gets hot. Really hot. Like 100+ degrees in the summer hot. And nobody wants to spend their vacation covered in dust and sweat.

That's why wehave climate-controlled UTVs. While everyone else is still using open-air vehicles, we've got fully enclosed Polaris machines with real air conditioning. 

It makes a huge difference, especially if you're bringing kids or grandparents along.

Our Most Popular Moab Tours

The Moab Discovery Tour ($559)

This is our 4-hour tour that shows you everything Moab has to offer. We take you to see dinosaur tracks, drive through some cool slot canyons, and hit all the best viewpoints.

Our guides know all the spots the other tours miss - like this one overlook where you can see three different mountain ranges at once. And since you're in an enclosed vehicle, you actually enjoy it instead of squinting through dust clouds.

What you'll see:

  • Real dinosaur footprints preserved in rock
  • Hidden canyons most tourists never find
  • The best photo spots (we know which ones actually look good on Instagram)
  • Some easier obstacles if you want to try driving over rocks

Hell's Revenge Tour ($125-159)

This is the famous one. Hell's Revenge is probably why you've heard of Moab in the first place. It's 3.5 hours of driving on slickrock - those smooth, steep rock formations that look impossible to climb until you're actually doing it.

The big moments everyone talks about:

  • Hell's Gate - a super steep drop that looks scarier than it is
  • Mickey's Hot Tub - a huge bowl-shaped dip in the rock
  • Amazing views of the La Sal Mountains
  • Lots of "how is this vehicle not tipping over?" moments

We run these at sunrise and sunset when it's cooler and the light is perfect for photos.

Poison Spider Trail ($182-280)

Don't worry - there are no actual spiders. This 4-hour tour is perfect if you've never done anything like this before. It's got some fun challenges but nothing too crazy.

You'll drive along the Colorado River, climb over some rocks (with your guide talking you through it), and get great views without the extreme stuff. It's our most popular tour for families.

What Makes Us Different

We're One of a Few with A/C

We have the fully enclosed, air-conditioned UTVs. 

Here's what that means for you:

  • No dust in your face
  • No sunburn on your neck
  • You can actually hear your guide
  • Your kids won't complain about being hot
  • You can bring your nice camera without worrying about dust

The seats even have cooling built in. Seriously.

We Actually Train Our Guides

Our guides go through 8 different training stages before they can lead tours. They know every trail, every rock formation, and most importantly - how to keep you safe while making sure you have fun.

They're also just good people who love what they do. No cheesy scripts or forced jokes.

Everything's Included

With other companies, you need to prove you have insurance. With us, everything's covered:

  • Up to $3,000 if you damage the vehicle (it happens)
  • Medical coverage up to $25,000 per person
  • We'll tow you back if something breaks
  • All safety gear included

Do It Yourself - Rent a UTV

If you'd rather explore on your own, we rent UTVs too. But here's the thing - we don't just hand you keys and a crappy paper map like everyone else.

Our rentals come with:

  • GPS with trails already loaded
  • Recommendations based on what you want to see
  • Clear markers showing which areas to avoid
  • A real safety briefing (not just "sign here and good luck")

Rental options:

  • 3 hours - enough for one good trail
  • Full day - hit multiple trails
  • Overnight - catch sunrise from the mesa

Just remember you have to be 25+ to rent.

We Also Rent Slingshots

Quick note - we also have Polaris Slingshots (those 3-wheeled motorcycle things). They're street legal, so you can drive them into Arches and Canyonlands National Parks where UTVs can't go.

Popular for:

  • Driving the scenic byways
  • Sunset trips to Dead Horse Point
  • Date nights (seriously, they're fun)
  • Getting to the national parks in style

Safety Stuff (The Important But Boring Part)

Look, we know talking about insurance isn't exciting, but here's what matters:

  • Everything's covered (you don't need your own insurance)
  • We maintain our vehicles obsessively
  • Our guides know first aid
  • We've never had a serious accident
  • Kids 16+ can come on tours with parents

Common Questions

Do I need experience?

Nope. Our guides will teach you everything. If you can drive a car, you can do this.

What should I bring?

Water, sunglasses, camera. That's it. We provide helmets and everything else. Since our vehicles are enclosed, you don't need all the gear other tours require.

Is it scary?

Some parts might make your heart race (in a good way), but our guides know how to match the tour to your comfort level. We've taken 80-year-old grandmas and nervous first-timers. You'll be fine.

Why are you more expensive than some other tours?

Because we have air conditioning, better insurance, newer vehicles, and guides who actually know what they're doing. Most people think it's worth the extra $40-60.

What if the weather sucks?

Our enclosed vehicles handle weather that would cancel other tours. If it's truly dangerous, we'll reschedule or refund you.

How far ahead should I book?

Spring and fall book up 2-3 months early. Summer and winter you can usually get in with a few days notice. But our Discovery Tour fills up fast year-round.

If you have questions, just ask - we're here to help you have an awesome time in Moab.

And if you're on the fence, here's the thing: you came all the way to Moab to see amazing stuff. Don't let heat, dust, or discomfort ruin it. Book the tour with air conditioning. Your future self will thank you.
