Top Questions
Answered.
WHAT MAKES MOAB ADVENTURE CENTER DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TOUR OPERATORS IN MOAB?
Our guests tell us it comes down to three things: the people, the ease, and the variety.
The People – Our guides aren’t just drivers or trip leaders; they’re the heart of the experience. Guests mention them by name in thousands of reviews because they’re fun, knowledgeable, and make you feel instantly at ease.
The Ease – From booking to check-in to the last photo of the day, everything flows seamlessly. We handle the details—permits, gear, meals, transportation—so you can simply show up and enjoy.
The Variety – With rafting, Hummer safaris, Arches tours, canyoneering, ziplining, horseback riding, and more, we’re your one-stop adventure hub. Many families and groups book three, four, or more activities with us because it’s effortless to experience Moab in full.
It’s why we’ve been named Best of State every year since 2004—and why so many guests call us the most memorable part of their Moab vacation.
ARE YOUR MOAB ADVENTURES FAMILY-FRIENDLY?
Families are at the heart of what we do. Picture grandparents floating the Colorado with grandkids, teenagers wide-eyed as a Hummer climbs impossible slickrock, and parents finally relaxing on an Arches sunset tour knowing everyone’s taken care of.
Our adventures are designed with all ages in mind—gentle river floats, thrilling rides, short scenic hikes, and even multi-day trips for families who want the full Moab experience. And it’s not just the activities—our guides are what families rave about most. They learn kids’ names, tell stories that keep teens laughing, and care for your family like you’re part of theirs.
That’s why families make up the majority of our guests, and why thousands of parents call their trip with us “the highlight of our vacation.” For many, it’s not just an adventure—it’s a memory they’ll be talking about for years.
ARE YOUR ADVENTURES GOOD FOR COUPLES?
Definitely. Many couples tell us their Moab adventure was the most extraordinary part of their trip—or even their honeymoon. From watching the sun sink behind an arch, to splashing together down the Colorado, to rallying each other through a first rappel—these are the kinds of shared moments that you’ll talk about for years.
Want something more personal? Ask about our private tours—perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, or anyone who wants to enjoy Moab’s magic with just the two of you (and your guide).
ARE YOUR ADVENTURES SUITABLE FOR SOLO TRAVELERS?
Absolutely! Whether it’s Arches tours, Hummer excursions, rafting, canyoneering, or mountain biking - all of our adventures are perfect for solo travelers. You’ll quickly find yourself sharing unforgettable experiences with a like-minded group of explorers. Many of our guests may come to Moab on their own, but they leave with new friends.
IS MOAB ADVENTURE CENTER ABLE TO HELP ME PLAN A CORPORATE RETREAT OR EVENT?
Yes! We design unforgettable adventures for teams of all sizes—whether you're planning a client appreciation getaway, a team-building retreat, or a reward for top performers. Our experienced staff handles every detail, tailoring activities for all ability levels and keeping your group running smoothly from start to finish.
Popular experiences include floating the Colorado River, white-knuckling slickrock trails in a guided Hummer, exploring Arches with a private guide, or stepping outside comfort zones on a canyoneering tour. These moments go beyond fun—they build camaraderie, spark empathy, inspire courage, and forge connections that last long after the trip ends.
WHAT ABOUT GROUPS OF FRIENDS OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS?
Moab is unforgettable with friends. Whether it’s a birthday, reunion, girls’ getaway, or just a bucket-list trip with your crew, our adventures bring people closer. You’ll laugh together on the rapids, cheer each other on during canyoneering, and leave with inside jokes and epic photos.
Groups often love the option of private tours—so you can keep the experience just for your circle, celebrate at your own pace, and let us handle the details. Many friends and families book multiple adventures in one trip—it’s the ultimate way to experience Moab’s wild side together.
DO I NEED TO BE SUPER FIT TO JOIN A TOUR?
Many of our adventures are designed for beginners and casual travelers—think gentle river floats, scenic Hummer tours, or short hikes in Arches. Our guides adapt each experience to your comfort level, so first-timers feel right at home.
That said, some trips—like Westwater Canyon, Cataract Canyon, mountain biking, or certain canyoneering adventures—do require more stamina, comfort in the water, or the ability to hike or ride longer distances.
If you’re unsure, our team is happy to match you with the adventure that best fits your abilities so you can enjoy every moment with confidence.
WHAT IF I’VE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE?
You’ll fit right in—most of our guests are first-timers. It’s normal to feel a little nervous before your first raft trip, off-road climb, or canyon rappel. That’s exactly why our guides do what they do: they’re patient teachers, natural encouragers, and experts at turning “I’ve never done this” into “I can’t believe I just did that!”
You don’t need special skills—just bring your sense of adventure and a great attitude. We’ll handle the gear, the know-how, and the encouragement. Many of our guests arrive as beginners and leave saying it was the the best part of their vacation.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN YOUR ADVENTURES?
More than you might expect. Many trips include meals, reusable water bottles, required gear, transportation to the starting point, and even national park entry permits. We’ve thought of the details so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
CAN I DO MORE THAN ONE ADVENTURE IN A DAY OR WEEKEND?
Absolutely. Many of our guests want to make the most of their time in Moab, so we’ve designed schedules that fit together perfectly. Float the Colorado River in the morning, ride a Hummer over slickrock at sunset, and explore Arches the next day—it’s the ultimate way to see more of Moab, Utah in less time.
HOW EXPERIENCED ARE YOUR GUIDES?
Our guides are the heartbeat of every adventure. They’re highly trained, certified, and deeply knowledgeable about the area—but what guests rave about most is their passion. They’ll make you laugh, keep you comfortable, share local secrets, and turn every trip into a story worth telling. We’re especially proud of the high return rate of our guides, many of whom come back summer after summer, bringing unmatched experience and passion to every adventure.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE WEATHER CHANGES MY PLANS?
Moab’s desert weather can surprise you, and often changes quickly. Most tours can be operated in most weather conditions. However, if our staff determines that we should not operate the tour under certain weather conditions, we’ll reschedule your tour or offer an alternate adventure so you don’t miss out. If the alternatives don’t work for you, we’ll refund your payment. Our priority is keeping your trip worry-free and unforgettable.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT MOAB?
Every season has its magic. Spring and Fall bring perfect temperatures and vibrant colors. Summer means long days for rafting, ziplining, and late-evening sunsets. Winter offers peace and fewer crowds. Whenever you come, there’s an adventure waiting.
WHAT IF I WANT TO EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING MOAB HAS TO OFFER?
You’re in the right place. Many of our guests book three, four, or even more adventures while they’re here—rafting, Hummer safaris, Arches tours, ziplining, canyoneering, and more. We’ll help you build a custom itinerary so your days flow seamlessly and you don’t miss a thing. Think of it as your Moab Bucket List—checked off in one incredible trip.
