Backcountry tour - My daughter and I had a great time on this tour. We were able to see parts of the park that we would have never seen without a tour guide. And our experience would have not been complete without our amazing tour guide, Zed. Zed made us feel right at home. He was kind, courteous and genuine. He was knowledgeable about the park and its history. Zed was also patient with the hundreds of questions I ask him. I would recommend this tour guide and this tour for anyone who wants an authentic experience of Arches National Park!

Great way to explore Arches! - This was a fun way to explore Arches. Kevin, our guide, showed us some dinosaur tracks, the original entrance to the park, and a few arches that we probably would have missed if we were on our own! Wonderful tour!

The best time! - Kevin was our tour guide, he made sure that we had the best time! He interacted with us and gave us so much knowledge! It was an absolute blast and definitely worth it. We are a family of 6 and did not know where to go or what to look at so this was our best option. We were able to go in the back ways into the National parks and that made us feel like we got to experience the area in a whole new way. I now feel like my knowledge of the area has grown and made me fall in love with the area. Can't wait to visit Moab again and go here again for all future tours.

A Beautiful Snowy Half Day Tour of Arches - This was a great half day tour. Our tour guide Dave was very friendly and informative. He provided a lot of history, geology and personal experiences in Arches National Park. We will definitely look to Moab Scenic Adventures for another tour next time we get to Moab. We lucked out and had a tour with a dusting of snow in the park which made it really beautiful.

Great excursion in Moab! - We had an amazing time on the back country tour through Arches with Kevin who went above and beyond to tailor this trip to our stated goals. We are in our late 60's but in decent physical shape so we were able to do a couple hikes up to some more remote arches in the park. The trail was rough in places and we agreed to some rougher areas and it was a riot! Kevin made the trip fun and adventurous. This would not be a trip for anyone with back problems but they explained they could adjust the trip if needed. Snacks and water were provided. We loved the excursion and recommend Moab Scenic Adventures!

Repeat satisfied customers! - We returned to Moab to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. We had a great experience with this company a few years ago. This time my husband selected the Arches National Park Backcountry Tour and we had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was Sorah W. and she drove us on this crazy, bumpy backroad to give us some amazing views. She stopped to let us hike to a view locations and took some pictures of us. We wouldn't hesitate to book another adventure with this company when we return to Moab the next time!

Exceptional Private Experience - Getting to see parts of Arches National Park that most people are not able to access was awesome! Not having to fight the crowds is worth the price. Eye of the Whale arch is beautiful! Our guide Kevin was superb!
