"The Moab Southwest Sampler was an incredible experience!"

Reviewed June 12, 2025 NEW

My friends and I did the Southwest Sampler package in early June. We were very impressed with Moab Adventure Center and Western River Expeditions. Our guides for Arches, the Colorado River rafting and camping, and the Hummer tour were very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. The company went above and beyond to accommodate us when weather forced the postponement of our Sunset Hummer Tour. The communication leading up to the trip was exceptional. I highly recommend this adventure and this company to anyone who is planning a trip to Moab!

The sampler was just the perfect amount of hiking, rafting and off-roading (!) the positivity of the staff was a highlight… Thank you to Chris, Izzy, Tate, Chad, Callie, Rachel, and all the others that helped to make this a most memorable adventure!!

"Great experience first time mountain biking: scenic, fun, a little bit challenging"

Reviewed June 06, 2025 NEW

"Mountain Biking Introduction: Courthouse Loop Half Day." Great experience first time mountain biking for my wife and me. Julie was an excellent guide. We bike on roads and rail trails often, but this was very different. High-quality, very expensive mountain bikes were supplied. Went with one other couple of similar ability. Views were spectacular since we rode along canyon rim for part of the time. We covered about 8 miles in a little over 2 hours on bikes; could have done more or less if the four of us and chosen otherwise.
