Highly Recommended Tour!
Personalized comprehensive tour with experienced and personable guide. Really made our first journey in Moab memorable.
Response from the operator: Thank you! Such a pleasure to show you this amazing place. Enjoy your trip and please come back.

Off the paved path, well done!
This tour was great. We saw the arches tour previously, but seeing the backcountry is amazing and a whole new experience. The vehicle was perfect, tour guide/driver was remarkable. She tailored our trip based on the needs of our group. We felt like we were in very good hands. We learned new things. And saw things that you otherwise wouldn’t see, like Gemini bridge and Long Canyon. I’m very comfortable saying you’ll be in very good hands here.
Response from the operator: It’s an amazing thing to share this beautiful place. It is stunning to see the back country. Thank you!

What a great experience!
The Jeep is excellent: new, comfortable and up to the job. The driver Rika is an expert driver and a great travel companion. She explained all the way and stopped at interesting points so we could see things not visible from the jeep, could take better pictures, and take in the overwhelming sights and beauty of this part of Utah. This trip is a great way to see and experience this landscape. Will do it again, in fact following this trip we booked one of their other tours for the next day!
Response from the operator: Hey it was a pleasure to meet you and so excited to show you the amazing place we have here Moab. Thank you!

Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moab.
How much does Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moab usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Moab is not rushed.
Is Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moab, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Moab can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Moab and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Moab Backcountry Scenic Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Moab within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Moab?
+
Moab is the gateway to Arches and Canyonlands: sunrise arch tours, 4x4 runs on Hell's Revenge, Colorado River rafting, canyoneering and dark-sky stargazing. Park entry timing systems change often, so we weight tours that handle reservations for you. On Outty we rank every Moab experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include HIGHLY RATED U-DRIVE Moab Hell’s Revenge UTV Off-Road Adventure, BEST! Hell's Revenge U-Drive 4X4 Tour in Moab +Dinosaur Tracks!, 5-STAR Moab Hell's Revenge UTV U-DRIVE TOUR + DINO TRACKS. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Moab?
+
April to May and September to October, avoiding peak summer heat. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Moab?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
