Frequently asked questions

Your search for ""

What is a definite departure?

A departure is shown as 'Definite Departure' once it has reached a minimum number of guests. That particular departure will definitely run, barring any extraordinary circumstances. We update these regularly, and you can book any departure. While it is highly unlikely a departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made if this is the case. If there are ever any changes to your departure, we will contact you.

How can I book flights for my tour? What about extra hotel nights?

You can add flights and extra hotel nights directly through Trafalgar, so that everything is taken care of, leaving you to relax and enjoy your tour. If you're booking online, once you've selected your travel dates and room type, you'll be offered an option to add extra hotel nights and flights. Alternatively, you can call us to book and one of our travel experts can advise on your options.

Be My Guest Experiences are the original local travel experience, letting you step into the lives of hosts who will share stories about their families and communities. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences that give back to the local communities, which support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our tours also include a selection of Optional Experiences which are available for an additional cost, allowing you to make your trip your own.

White Rim 4-Day

The white rim trail, island in the sky district, canyonlands national park — a truly special place.

The White Rim Trail, located in the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, is truly a special place. This classic tour is a must for anyone visiting Utah’s canyon country, offering a perfect combination of great riding and spectacular scenery. We ride along the “White Rim” layer of sandstone, with dramatic canyons below and majestic red rock cliffs above. The trail leads to arches, towers and other fantastic rock formations. Your guides will lead you on bike and on foot to explore the hidden treasures the White Rim offers. Visit an Indian dwelling of ancient times or perhaps trek into a slot canyon disappearing into the desert sandstone. The White Rim is the trip of a lifetime. On the four-day tour, we ride approximately 20 – 25 miles each day. On the three-day tour, we ride approximately 30 – 35 miles each day.

For those considering doing a multi-day tour for their first time, especially those who have little or no camping experience, we’ve written a detailed description of what it’s like to go on a multi-day tour with us. Click here to read it .

We provide restrooms at our location, which you can use before and after the trip. There are also pit toilets in Arches National Park you can use at certain stops.

Absolutely! The Arches Sunset Bus Tour is fantastic for pictures. Photographers love the Golden Hour, which is one hour after dawn and one hour before sunset, and will typically set their photo shoots during this time to catch the amazing colors. Bring lots of batteries, storage cards, or film!

Yes. You must cancel 48 hours prior to departure to receive a partial refund; otherwise your tour fee is non-refundable.

Both tours include stops along the way in which we walk short distances to overlooks and there are short hikes included in the tour. More hiking is done on the Arches Hiking Tour. If you don’t feel comfortable getting out of the vehicle, it is not required. If you have questions, please contact a reservation specialist at (435) 259-5261.

Our guide on the Arches Sunset Bus Tour was a wealth of information. Our guide took us to places in Arches we would have never found on our own. The tour was enjoyable, fun, and also a learning experience. We will talk about it for a long time.

MORE ABOUT AND CANYONLANDS TRIPS

The magic of backpacking in canyonlands.

Canyonlands National Park is in many ways one of Utah’s most unappreciated destinations, and this is precisely one of the things makes it so great. Not only do our backpacking trips show guests amazing canyons with ancient ruins, surprising oases, dramatic Utah landscapes and true Southwest adventure, but also plenty of desert solitude. These trips are specifically for people who want to get off the beaten track, deep into the Utah wilderness, and explore the wonders of the backcountry – its wildlife, sunsets, sunrises, spring-fed creeks and breathtaking night skies. If you want a an experience you’ll never forget, joining a Canyonlands backpacking trip is a fantastic way to go!

Canyonlands is a wonderful 3-season destination – Spring, Fall and Winter. Summers are extremely hot and dry and are not enjoyable, or for that matter safe, in this national park. Spring tends to have cool nights and warm days, a possibility of late winter storms, and is a peak time to be here. Fall is similar to Spring in its temperatures but is generally drier so less chance of storms. It is also an absolutely fantastic time to visit. And winter can be chilly during the day and quite cold at night, but is still excellent. Winter also offers the additional advantage of being the least popular season of the year, so you can have this amazing Utah national park mostly to yourself!

The Best Canyonlands National Park Jeep Tours

As the name suggests, Canyonlands National Park is a sprawling mass of rugged earth and rock, austere, beautiful and impassable. Unless you’re in a 4×4 during one of these excellent tours.

canyonlands tour companies

(Photo: Getyourguide.com)

The Green and Colorado rivers are the two main reasons why the land in southern Utah is so delightfully fractured into deep canyons. The other reasons are time and climate. The former is hard to pin down precisely, but millions of years of weathering has crafted distinct formations out of an otherwise rather arid land. While there are roads leading into Canyonlands National Park, it’s the off-roading that is the most rewarding way to experience this remarkable place. Here are four amazing Jeep tours that help you to do that from Moab, the closest major settlement.

Half-day Canyonlands Island in the Sky 4×4 Tour

As the Green River has carved its way through the sandstone mesa in Canyonlands, it has left sheer cliffs and stunning vistas that can be appreciated from the many out-of-the-way viewpoints only accessible in a 4×4 vehicle. This tour’s highlight though is along a paved road to the Island in the Sky, a mesa that happens to sit 1,000 feet (305m) above the surrounding land, offering breathtaking views out over the national park. This tour runs between two and three times a day. From $110 per person.

Book at Getyourguide.com

Canyonlands Backcountry Half-day Jeep Tour

canyonlands tour companies

(Photo: Viator.com)

The top of the mesa offers incredible views of the Canyonlands National Park, while down in the river-hewn valleys there’s so much to encounter, from rock formations to wildlife. This Jeep tour from Moab takes you to experience the best of both, while also tackling the challenging switchback dirt road known as the Shafer Trail, which leads up to a phenomenal viewpoint. You’ll also discover Native American petroglyphs, a natural rock arch and visit the Gooseneck Overlook where the river has cut a deep horseshoe canyon. From $132 per person.

Book at Viator.com

Backcountry Jeep Adventure

If the idea of off-roading in Canyonlands National Park sounds fun, but you’d rather not take a guided Jeep tour, you can always rent your own for a day. Canyonlands Jeep Rentals provide the vehicle and a cooler full of ice and water. You’ll also be given a trail guide to find the most scenic and accessible spots in the area, such as the Shafer Trail. If you want help crafting an itinerary, you can get assistance with that, otherwise head out and explore. These Jeeps safely fit up to five people. Additional fees may be charged for tire coverage. From $341 per group.

Off-road Private Jeep Adventure in Moab

While many guided tours tend to pair you with other travelers, often fitting four people into one Jeep, this tour option is private. Your group (maximum four people) will be taken from Moab to tackle the varied natural challenges that stand in the way of ordinary vehicles. Your driver will maneuver over steep rocks and down intense ravines, negotiating sand dunes, encountering dinosaur footprints and even seeing elements of Arches National Park. Please note that this alternative tour generally does not enter Canyonlands National Park, although the terrain may be similar. This tour runs from Mon-Sat. From $300 per group.

Best Tours in Moab

Moab, Utah, has so much to offer people from all over, and there's probably not enough time for a visitor to take in everything from the downtown hospitality to the natural wonders of Eastern Utah. As a highly desired destination for adventurers, hikers, and everyone in between, there's so much about Moab's natural wonders that draws in the crowds. With national parks embracing the majesty of this great state, it's easy for visitors to get lost in what the region has to offer. However, we've hand-picked a few of our favorites that will make sure that you get the most out of your Moab experience.

Tours on the Colorado River

Off-road adventures in moab, national park tours, other moab adventures.

Scenic Byway 128 Colorado River

Many tours in Moab, Utah, are focused on the majestic Colorado River. As the sixth-longest river in the United States, the Colorado River offers wondrous tours that allow you to soak in the incredible water while taking in the one-of-a-kind red rock landscape of Utah's desert region. These tours and activities are designed for people of all ages and of all different physical skill levels to truly enjoy the attractions of Moab. Colorado River tours allow visitors to take in everything that national parks and other parts of Eastern Utah have to offer, based on their desired pace and the amount of time they wish to dedicate to riding the waves.

River rafting tours provide high adrenaline whitewater treks for adventurers looking for a rush, but there are also mild and medium floats that are more about taking in the scenery than a high level of activity. You can take up half or your whole day in Moab or even opt for an overnight tour to gaze at the night sky above. If rafting isn't your flow, jet boat tours are designed to enhance the splash and thrill of the rapids without the strain of rowing. With a sunset tour of the red rocks of Arches National Park or a nighttime float through Canyonlands National Park, you're guaranteed a one-of-a-kind experience you'll remember for a lifetime.

Moab Rafting Tours

Moab Utah Jeep Spire

One of the more popular Moab tours is from the back of an off-road vehicle, taking in the thrills and excitement of climbing up and over steep slickrock fins. After all, Moab is considered a capital city for 4x4 riding. The landscape is incredible and has made Moab a desired destination for 4-wheeling aficionados across the U.S. and the globe. You and your friends, your loved ones, or fellow travelers can take a new approach to viewing this unique scenery, exploring majestic canyons with the help of the pros who know the region like the back of their hands. This insight only amplifies the views and the natural architecture.

Hummer tours are actually among the more popular options for off-road adventures. You wouldn't think of a Hummer for off-roading, but they are designed for the perfect 4x4 safari adventure across the slickrock surface. Plus, it's one of the best ways to take on the Hell's Revenge trail. If riding in a Hummer isn't your style, there's always a ride on the rocks through Jeep tours available in the area. Safaris throughout the parks can range from just a few hours to an all-day journey to take in the unbelievable natural architecture of the Moab region. This makes for a great opportunity for travelers of all ages!

Moab Off Road Tours

Arches National Park Summer Window

Arches and Canyonlands National Parks are among some of the greatest natural wonders in the United States. Sprawling for acres with brilliant geological structures and picturesque views, experienced guides can show you the highlights of these parks and give you some insight into the history of the Moab area, from its original settlers to what has become a destination for visitors across North America and the world. Beyond the natural carvings, these are also top locations to soak in the unencumbered night sky for stargazing that looks like it's out of a storybook. That's because of an emphasis by officials to eliminate light pollution, which blocks the brightest stars from shining above.

As a glimpse into nature's carvings and the statehood of the Beehive State, these national park tours can involve a hike through the Colorado plateau, but they do afford visitors time off their feet to truly take in the state of Utah. Scenic bus tours through the parks at sunrise or sunset bring out the absolute unspoiled beauty of the red rocks and Eastern Utah's natural landscape. If you're not feeling up for the hike or even a bus tour through the area, you can take a quick ride aboard a helicopter for an aerial view of these standouts amongst the "Mighty Five" national parks.

National Parks Tours

Moab Canyoneering Chandler

A tour company will emphasize all of the natural wonders that these parks in Moab have to offer. However, there are even more opportunities that await in Eastern Utah for visitors of all ages. From lacing up your hiking boots to buckling in for a scenic drive through the backcountry, Moab has so much more than meets the eye. Beyond the raging rapids of the Colorado River and a hike across Arches or Canyonlands, there are even more ways to embrace the sunrise and sunset in Eastern Utah. You just have to be ready to break outside the box of traditional services you get in other parts of the United States.

Hot air balloon rides take you high above the red rock plateaus, forever changing how you enjoy seeing the sun come up over Southern Utah, or you can opt for an air tour to see everything from Delicate Arch to Bryce Canyon from a piloted flight. If you're looking for adventure on the ground, climbing and canyoneering across the sandstone provide a unique scramble across cliffs and spires. Mountain biking and horseback riding across select trails in the region allow a one-of-a-kind look at the scenery of natural moments. If you want something more, zip lining has become a highly popular activity in Moab, along with the ropes challenge course, which is a more recent addition to the region.
