Let's Talk About Moab Jeep Tours
You're googling "Moab Jeep tours" because that's what everyone does, right? Moab = Jeeps. It's been that way forever.
There are companies here that have been doing Jeep tours for 30+ years. They know the trails, they know the business, and thousands of people take these tours every year.
But here's what we've learned running tours in Moab - there's a big difference between traditional open-air Jeep tours and what's possible with modern equipment.
What Traditional Jeep Tours Offer
The Standard Setup
Based on research of Moab tour operators, here's what's typical:
- Tours from 3 hours (half-day) to 6-7 hours (full-day)
- Mix of "you drive" and "ride along" options
- Popular trails include Hell's Revenge, Fins & Things, and Poison Spider
- Some companies offer Jeeps with A/C and leather seats
- Others stick with traditional open-air experiences
- Prices generally range from $150-300+ per person
The Experience
Traditional Jeep tours usually seat 4-6 people. That means:
- Front seats get the best views
- Back seat passengers see less
- Open-air vehicles mean exposure to sun, wind, and dust
- Communication can be challenging with engine and wind noise
Why We Chose a Different Path
At Epic 4x4 Adventures, we looked at the tour experience and asked ourselves - how can we make this better?
We invested in Polaris Xpedition XP5 Northstar UTVs - the ONLY climate-controlled tour vehicles in Moab. Here's what that means:
Climate Control That Actually Works
- Fully enclosed, insulated cabins
- Real air conditioning for summer (when temps exceed 100°F)
- Heating for winter tours
- No dust inside the cabin
- Cooled seats (yes, really)
Better Views for Everyone
- Stadium-style seating
- Every passenger sits up high
- Panoramic windows
- No obstructed views from any seat
Clear Communication
- Quiet cabin allows normal conversation
- Hear your guide's stories and instructions
- Ask questions without shouting
- Enjoy the tour instead of straining to hear
