As if our Utah Anniversary trip could not get more spectacular, Moab Adventure Center - Canyonlands Ballooning sunrise tour stepped things up to 1200 ft above ground. We floated above and had views of Arches, Canyonlands, Dead Horse Point, La Sal Mountain, and more. It was truly a magical experience.

"A Hummer adventure like no other"

We took the sunset Hummer ride. It was an amazing adventure! You definitely need to hold on to your hat and have your seatbelt on! Mike, our driver, was an incredible driver going places we didn't think the hummer could go. We stopped at a few sights along the way and then he took us to a great lookout area where we saw an amazing sunset!

"Wonderful scenic float on the Colorado River"

A group of 8 friends took the full day raft trip with barbecue lunch at Red Rock ranch. It was the perfect trip we envisioned. Because it was in October the river level was low so it was more a scenic float than exciting rapids. But that was exactly what we wanted. The scenery was fabulous and the guide was talkative giving us information about the geology and the formations. All in all, it was a great introduction to the area and I would recommend it to everyone.

"Sunset Hummer Tour Top Notch"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed October 14, 2025
The Sunset Hummer Tour was AMAZING! So many beautiful views and the exhilarating adventure was top notch. Our driver was made for our family! So fun, daredevil energy and pretty cool! During the tour we got to see dinosaur fossils, Colorado River, a coyote run by us, others climbing the landforms and the absolute gorgeous sunset. Nothing like it. The icing on the cake was our daughter getting proposed to by her now fiancé on top of the landform looking over the Colorado River. Priceless moment! And first proposal for our driver! Highly recommend! It is worth every cent! It was the highlight of our vacation!

"Arches National Park Sunset Discovery is Incredible!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed September 26, 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed my sunset tour of Arches National Park! I was trying to squeeze in visits to all of the mighty 5 NPs in Utah, and this was the perfect way to maximize time in Arches. I appreciated the hotel pickup option, and not having to worry about timed entry or passes. Everything was included in the tour. I regret that I delayed writing this review, and I have lost my notes with my tour guide’s name, but she was wonderful!(evening of 6/20/25, it was a female, possibly named Casey?) Our guide took us to several of the famous arches, and we had plenty of time to explore each area and take some pictures on our own. I like short walks, and this tour was a good mix of short walks and driving. We each had to option to explore/walk as much or as little as we wanted to at each stop. One lady in our group recently had surgery on her leg, so she chose not to climb the steps by Windows Arch for sunset, but the rest of our group got there early, found a spot, and enjoyed our view, thanks to Casey’s tips and recommendations. The tour van was spacious and comfortable. I believe there was 10 in my group, including the guide, so we had a few extra seats that made things more enjoyable. Our guide gave us each Moab water bottles filled with cold water, and she had additional water available for refills in the back of the van. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see what the park has to offer but does not want to drive around on their own, worry about passes and timed reservations, and/or is not a serious hiker. This tour is perfect for solid travelers and families alike!

Our guide Chris was knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating on our Arches SunsetTour. We took in a lot of the many arch formations, with plenty of background info and more than enough time to walk around and take photos. The bus was comfortable and Chris would give out cookie treats for getting the correct answer in his fun trivia contests. I won twice!
