Private and Luxury

Private and luxury tours in Moab are all about getting off the beaten path with your own group—whether that means rock-crawling in a UTV, exploring national parks with a dedicated guide, or heading deep into the backcountry in a 4x4. With 149 options—over 70% of everything sold here—there’s a tour for nearly every interest and adventure level.

Travelers book these tours for the flexibility, personal attention, and access to areas regular group tours can’t reach. The median starting price is $188, but you’ll find choices from $89 per person for off-road thrills to over $400 for private vehicles or all-day park excursions. Only 3% of tours are rated below 4 stars, so satisfaction is high.

Private and luxury tours dominate Moab’s tour scene, making up nearly three-quarters of all offerings. The category includes everything from adrenaline-heavy UTV drives to guided sightseeing in Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Pricing is broad: about a third of tours cost between $120 and $250, but you’ll find a significant number under $120 and over $250 as well. The median price is $188, matching the overall destination median, but the range is wider here than in bus tours (median $125) or even nature and wildlife tours (median $250).

Most private and luxury tours are priced per person, especially for UTV and Jeep experiences, but some options—like the Top-Rated Moab You-Drive UTV Tour—charge per vehicle, making them a better deal for groups of four. Almost all tours run between two and four hours, with a handful offering full-day adventures for those wanting to see multiple parks or go deep into the backcountry.

High ratings are the norm: 97% of tours in this category are rated 4 stars or above, and several of the most-reviewed have near-perfect scores. The variety means you can choose between pure adrenaline, scenic sightseeing, or a mix of both.

If you want a private tour in Moab, your first decision is adventure level. UTV and 4x4 tours—like the Hell’s Revenge U-Drive options—are the most popular and start at $89 per person. These are consistently rated 4.9 or higher, with guides praised for safety and local knowledge. They’re best for travelers who want to drive themselves over slickrock and steep inclines, with the thrill of navigating famous trails. For families or those less keen on extreme driving, sightseeing tours in Arches or Canyonlands offer a more relaxed pace and include snacks, drinks, and expert commentary. These run from $159 to $240 per person and are often highlighted for knowledgeable guides and comfortable vehicles.

If you’re traveling as a group, look for tours that price per vehicle—like the Top-Rated Moab You-Drive UTV Tour at $395 for up to four people. This can be more cost-effective than per-person pricing, especially for families or friends traveling together. Most tours include safety gear and water; some add snacks or park entry fees, while others do not.

The best-rated tours share a few things: experienced guides who are both fun and informative, vehicles that are well maintained, and routes that balance excitement with safety. Many reviewers mention guides going out of their way to make the day memorable, whether by sharing local history or helping nervous drivers gain confidence. For scenic tours, guides are often praised for accommodating guests with mobility issues or tailoring stops to group interests.

What disappoints? A small minority of reviews mention issues with booking changes or minimum group sizes, especially on park tours like the Canyonlands Backcountry Adventure. A few UTV tours receive lower marks from travelers unprepared for the intensity of the terrain—describing the ride as too extreme or physically jarring. Some guests on sightseeing tours wish for more time at certain stops or longer hikes. Always check what’s included and ask about pace and physical demands before booking.
