Sunrise Moonscape & Factory Butte - Our guide was knowledgable. Loved the prompt pickup, appreciated the door to door service. This was for sunrise, and we saw the sunrise, but the glow on moonscape (looking away from the sunrise was awesome !

Meridian Tours - This was an absolutely terrific tour to the sites near Hanksville, Utah. Our guide, Mel, was very knowledgeable about the area and really showed us some great viewpoints and explained all about the geology. His 4x4 was very comfortable for four of us and handled the off roading very well. Moonscape Overlook and Factory Butte should be on everyone's bucket list and Meridian Tours is the perfect way to see them.

Excellent tour, highly recommend this tour and this company - Brilliant, tour of Moonscape Overlook, Steamboat and Factory Butt, with Meridian Tours, booked through TripAdvisor. Communication and information was excellent. Pick up at our hotel was great. Guide Jenny was so knowledgeable, friendly  and accommodating. The trip was in 4 wheel drive, which was very comfortable and the none stop 3hrs trip had plenty of time in each location. Highly recommend this company for quality and perfect trip experience. Excellent.

We were all blown away by the tour and our experience. Other worldly is a great description for Moonscape overlook. We are so glad we went.

great tour to an incredibly beautiful landscape - I very much enjoyed my tour with Jenny. She was very kind and so knowledgeable. I learned so much from her and she also gave me great tips for more hikes. I very much enjoyed talking to her. Apart from that, the tour was also wonderful. The landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and I had lots of time to enjoy and take pictures. Thank you! When I am back in Utah I would love to book another tour.

Beyond imagining! - Owner, Mel, drove us in his air conditioned 4 wheel drive Land Rover! Very comfy with lots of snacks and bottled water. You will see landscapes here that you will probably never see anywhere else. Totally "otherwordly" which led to lots of great conversation in the car!! Mel, is amazingly knowledgeable about this area - its history and geology. We are so glad we took advantage of this amazing opportunity and look forward to coming back to take their other tours - especially the Dark Sky Night tour.

Fantastic Experience - Mel is fantastic! Personable, professional, and completely capable, he made my wife and I feel entirely confident in the safety of our experience and in his background and knowledge. I would recommend Meridian to anybody visiting the area that wants a guide to help them get to the good stuff in this area.
