Every tour is private, personalized to your interest and ability, and guided by locals who live here. Most of your time at the highlights and secrets, with a pace that fits your group — so you make the most of your time in Moab.
The recommended length for each tour is shown by default. Most tours have alternate durations and styles you can browse.
Every option is well loved — you really can't go wrong. If you're unsure, Contact Us for a quick personalized recommendation.
Tour times are door to door and usually run about half an hour longer than advertised, though they can be as short as the listed time. Full day tours range from ~7.5 hours in winter to ~10 hours for slower-paced hiking destinations like Needles and the Maze.
Arches can be well appreciated in a half day — 4 hours with us is best for visitors 90% of the time. You will gain a great overall experience of the park from the classic highlights, plus a bonus gem or two that are more seldom seen. Expect a handful of diverse short stops, with 2–3 being more focused brief excursions in a particularly special area. It is a well loved approach and perfect for most!

Zoom Out and Up High to Stunning Cliff Vistas
Canyonlands National Park - Island in the Sky District + Dead Horse Point State Park
A thousand feet above the confluence of two great rivers. Mesa Arch at first light, Grand View Point, Upheaval Dome. Being a little further, we need a bit more time to appreciate Canyonlands. To see a bit more, plus a picnic and a visit to Dead Horse Point, make it a full day! It will be great either way. If unsure, go with the full day. Features arches, river views, dirt road travel en route with remote vistas, and Native American rock art. (more)
Recommended: Full Day Tour
Being a bit further from town, Canyonlands rewards a full day. The 8-hour tour gives you time for Mesa Arch, Grand View Point, Upheaval Dome, plus a picnic lunch at a remote overlook and a visit to Dead Horse Point on the way back. Choose 6 hrs if time is tight — you will still see the major viewpoints but at a brisker pace.

Unlike some services, we don't combine groups and do the same thing at the same time every day. Our start times vary throughout the year to get the best blend of light, temperature, and lack of crowds. That said, you can ultimately choose most anytime you want.

Arches National Park
About the Park
Arches National Park contains over 2,000 natural stone arches, along with hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive rock fins, and balanced rocks. Located just five miles north of Moab, it's one of the most visually striking landscapes in the American Southwest.
The park's signature formations — including Delicate Arch, Landscape Arch, the Windows Section, Balanced Rock, and the Fiery Furnace — were shaped over 300 million years by water, ice, and erosion working on layers of Entrada Sandstone. The result is a dense concentration of arches and fins unlike anywhere else on Earth.
Most visitors experience Arches by driving the 18-mile scenic road with stops along the way. Our tours go deeper — accessing viewpoints, timing, and context that transform a scenic drive into something that stays with you. We know when the light hits each formation perfectly, where the crowds aren't, and which short detours reveal the park's best-kept secrets.
While we sometimes go to the long distance viewpoint of Delicate Arch (short stop), we only hike there:
A) At sunrise — Pickup 30–60 mins before that.
B) At night — Wild card option — see the "Nighthike" tour in the tour browser!
This is based on the trail being very busy all day every day — congested trail and weird long lines for the arch picture — plus being uphill and hot after the morning. Guest feedback confirms early and night is the amazing way to go!
We say this because we care about your experience and expectations, and understand you may prefer to go there on your own during the day. If it is helpful to know, we will see many amazing arches on tour, some with a good chance to get them to ourselves!
Exception: Nov–Dec you can mention it to your guide on any Arches tour and you can totally hike to Delicate Arch at any time. The cooler weather and smaller crowds make it enjoyable all day.

Highlights | Half Day Tour
You will gain a great overall appreciation of the park from the classic highlights along with a bonus gem or two that are more seldom seen. Expect a handful of diverse short stops, with 2–3 being more focused brief excursions in a particularly special area. It is a well loved approach and perfect for most!
Delicate Arch | Half Day Tour
Choose from sunrise or night hike times above (night hikes only show available when there is good moonlight during tour). The sunrise approach means an early pickup — 30 to 60 minutes before dawn — to hike the 1.5-mile trail as the sky brightens. You'll reach the arch with few others around and watch the sandstone glow in the first light. The night option under moonlight is a completely different, magical experience — cool air, silver light on stone, and near-total solitude.
Devil's Garden | Extended Half Day Tour
7+ mile primitive loop with abundant solitude, rock fins, canyon twists and turns, plus multiple nice arches, with 300' Landscape Arch as the highlight. Uneven terrain, some bonus park highlights depending on pace.
Custom Combo | Extended Half Day Tour
Slightly abbreviated Highlights Tour + Dino Tracks & Bones or Native American Rock Art after Arches. Your guide will take you to the best places based on your time together.
Hike Lovers | Extended Half Day Tour
Two to three 1–3 mile hikes WITH Arches' highlights. For guests who want to stretch their legs and get deeper into the landscape without committing to a full day. Moderate fitness recommended.
Custom Combo | Full Day Tour
The 6 hr approach PLUS Dino Tracks/Bones and/or Native American Rock Art after Arches. Your guide will carry out the best day based on time together. Includes a picnic lunch in a scenic transition spot between locations.
Arches + Dead Horse | Extended Half Day Tour
Abbreviated Arches highlights followed by Dead Horse Point State Park — a short walk to one of the most photographed overlooks in the American West. A two-park sampler that keeps the day at 6 hours. Dead Horse Point is very representative of Canyonlands' geology but closer and easier to appreciate fully.
Arches + Canyonlands | Full Day Tour
Both national parks in one day. Abbreviated Arches highlights in the morning, then a scenic drive to Canyonlands Island in the Sky for Mesa Arch, Grand Viewpoint, and roadside photo stops. More scenic driving, less hiking — for those who must check off both parks or prefer a photo-focused day.
All You Can Arches | Full Day Tour
Less than 1% of people would love this over all other options. Choose this IF you have A LOT of energy and hike very well, and want to do BOTH the best highlights and gems of the 4 hr approach and 1 to 3 additional hikes. Consider the weather at the time of visit — summer full days in the park are intense.

Which Tour to Pick?
Highlights | Half Day Tour
~4 hours · Recommended
Classic highlights plus a bonus gem or two. A handful of diverse short stops, with 2–3 being more focused brief excursions in a particularly special area. Well loved and perfect for most visitors — you will gain a great overall appreciation of the park. Best for 90% of visitors.
Delicate Arch | Half Day Tour
~4 hours · Sunrise/Night Only
Sunrise or night hike to Delicate Arch. Early pickup before dawn, or magical moonlit night option. Near-total solitude. This is a dedicated hike — not a drive-through. Guest feedback strongly positive but the early start isn't for everyone. November–December exception: available as a daytime option when temperatures allow.
Devil's Garden | Extended Half Day Tour
~6 hours
7+ mile primitive loop through rock fins, canyon twists, and multiple arches. Landscape Arch is a highlight. Uneven terrain throughout — moderate fitness required. This is the hiker's choice for Arches.
Custom Combo | Extended Half Day Tour
~6 hours
Abbreviated Arches highlights plus Dino Tracks & Bones or Native American Rock Art after leaving the park. Two experiences in one outing — great if you want variety beyond Arches alone.
Hike Lovers | Extended Half Day Tour
~6 hours
Two to three 1–3 mile hikes WITH highlights. Stretch your legs deeper into the landscape while still hitting the major spots. Moderate fitness recommended.
Arches + Dead Horse | Extended Half Day Tour
~6 hours
Abbreviated Arches highlights followed by Dead Horse Point State Park — a short walk to one of the most photographed overlooks in the American West. Dead Horse Point is adjacent to Canyonlands Island in the Sky and very representative of the same geology, but closer and easier to appreciate fully. A two-park sampler without a full-day commitment.
Custom Combo | Full Day Tour
~8 hours
The 6-hour approach PLUS Dino Tracks/Rock Art after Arches. Includes a picnic lunch in a scenic transition spot. The most complete single-day Moab experience combining the park with local gems.
Arches + Canyonlands | Full Day Tour
~8 hours
Both national parks in one day. Abbreviated Arches highlights in the morning, then a scenic drive to Canyonlands Island in the Sky for Mesa Arch, Grand Viewpoint, Upheaval Dome, and roadside photo stops. Much more on the scenic driving side — less hiking. For those okay with less physical activity, photo focused, or who simply must check off both parks. Note: Canyonlands is a good bit of a drive for a relatively short experience. If that's a concern, the Dead Horse 6hr option is closer and very representative of the same geology.
All You Can Arches | Full Day Tour
~8 hours
Maximum Arches — highlights, gems, AND 1–3 additional hikes. High energy required. A rare pick for guests who want to cover as much of the park as physically possible in one day.
