It was a wonderful tour.

Published on Nov, 2024

It was gorgeous. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We can see Dead Horse Point and Island in the Sky in a different way. We love it.

Spectacular and educational

Published on Nov, 2024

The views are breathtaking, our guide Cody was a font of knowledge and fun with it. The drive up the Mesa towards the end of the trip is something not to be missed.

Fun and breathtaking!

If you want beauty as well as a fun experience this tour is for you! The views were amazing! Our tour guide, Ben, was very knowledgable and kept us very informed of everything along the way. He was a very safe driver which is nice when driving along Shafer Road! Highly recommend this tour for a different view of Canyonlands and area.

Best you can get!
