What They Don't Want You to Know About Comfort

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

Comparing Your Options

Traditional Open-Air Jeep Tours:

Good for:

  • People who want the classic Jeep experience
  • Those who enjoy open-air touring
  • Visitors who prioritize tradition over comfort

Challenges:

  • Sun and heat exposure in summer
  • Dust on windy days
  • Limited back-seat visibility
  • Weather dependent comfort

Our Climate-Controlled UTV Tours:

Good for:

  • Families with kids or seniors
  • Summer visits (June-August)
  • Anyone sensitive to heat or dust
  • Groups where everyone wants good views
  • Year-round comfort seekers

What we offer:

  • Same trails as Jeep tours
  • Professional guides with 8-stage training
  • Comprehensive insurance included
  • 6-point racing harnesses for safety
  • Polaris Elite partner (newest equipment)

Our Tours and Pricing

We run the same legendary trails:

  • Hell's Revenge: $125-159 (3.5 hours)
  • Poison Spider: $182-280 (4 hours)
  • Moab Discovery Tour: $559 (4 hours) - our signature climate-controlled experience

All tours include:

  • Professional certified guides
  • All safety equipment
  • Insurance coverage (up to $25,000 medical per person)
  • The only climate-controlled vehicles in Moab

Making the Right Choice for You

Weather Considerations

  • Moab summers can exceed 100°F
  • Winter temperatures can be quite cold
  • Spring and fall are generally pleasant
  • Climate control matters most in extreme seasons

Group Considerations

  • Multi-generational families often prefer enclosed vehicles
  • Photographers appreciate dust-free environments
  • Those with breathing sensitivities benefit from filtered air

The Bottom Line

Both Jeep tours and our UTV tours explore the same incredible Moab trails. The difference is how you experience them.

Traditional Jeep tours have been the standard for decades. They work, and many people enjoy them.

We offer a modern alternative - same trails, same views, just with climate-controlled comfort and better visibility for all passengers.
