★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 327 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $399Our pick

Start early from Moab with guides such as Tom, Ryan, or Buzz for an eight-hour private tour through Arches, Canyonlands, and Dead Horse Point. Expect short hikes, major viewpoints, sunrise photo stops, a picnic lunch, snacks, water, and plenty of geology and park stories. National park entry costs extra.

“Ryan did a great job showing us Moab in a Day (also the name of the company he worked for). We spent the morning in Arches; afternoon was Dead Horse SO and Canyonlands. It was a great cadence...not too rushed/slow. He took us to lots of the hot spots and gave guidance on what to see when we came back the next day. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the parks and Moab the town (giving guidance in restaurants too!). We would definitely recommend!”
