Arches National Park

Arches National Park lies north of Moab in the state of Utah. Bordered by the Colorado River in the southeast, it’s known as the site of more than 2,000 natural sandstone arches, such as the massive, red-hued Delicate Arch in the east.

Adrift was awesome. We got to see Arches from unique vantage points. Experienced drivers who know all the back country

Mark was our tour guide and took us on an amazing adventure! He was knowledgeable, respectful, and gracious. The backcountry experience with the new jeep was one we will never forget. We have no idea how he maneuvered some of the crazy spots on the trail! We highly recommend this tour company. Mike, the owner was also great. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Karl was a great tour guide. He was able to give us fascinating information about the Arches area! Wouldn’t have wanted to visit Arches without his help.

We really enjoyed our Arches Backcountry Tour with Jack W., our guide! It was our first visit to the Arches N.P. , and Jack made this a wonderful introduction to the park for us. Offered the choice between a ’regular’ Arches tour or one focusing more on the backcountry i.e. offroad areas of the park, we opted for the latter and were richly rewarded by also getting to see (and take photos of) hidden gems such as Tower Arch and Eye of the Whale, we wouldn’t have been able to see on our own. The offroad experience was a lot of fun (even a bit of rock crawling) and we always felt safe with Jack. As the sun began to set, being in this amazing landscape was truly magical! It was also great all the information and fun facts Jack gave us about the park, and lots of tips for exploring Arches on our own, since we were going to visit the park again the next day. – We can highly recommend this tour with Jack!

I loved our trip. Karl was one of three guides and an expert at handling the 4x4 on some fun and very bumpy back roads. My 80+ year-old folks have an adventurous streak and enjoyed it, too. We got to corners of the park that my car would never have reached. All three guides (Mark and Ric, too) were knowledgeable and attentive to my Mum, whose mobility is a little limited, so she stayed with the Jeeps in one place. We went back to the park with the rental car on the main roads later that day, but it was the morning that really stuck with us - such beauty and the small group gave us a sense of being with alone nature that's impossible in the more traveled areas.

We were upset when we discovered the Arches National Park passes were sold out. Our plan "B" was to use some private tours, and the good reviews for Adrift Adventures sounded like a good way to go. It was not a good way! It was an EXCELLENT WAY to explore the park! The seats in the Jeep Wrangler were comfortable and had nice cushions for bumpier parts. Our guide, Karl, was a very knowledgeable, friendly, and a fantastic driver. His deep knowledge of the area, history, and geology made the trip very educational. Karl was also an incredible driver. Some areas we went through looked scary and rough, but Karl breezed through them easily. Thanks to that we saw some spots rarely visited by most of the visitors. We had lots of fun on the ride, which I was apprehensive about. As a bonus, Karl rescued a couple whose Jeep was stuck in a sand dune. Karl acted like it was not a big deal. Karl also listened to our wishes and needs, making the trip special. Overall, we are glad the park was out of the passes. Our plan "B" should have been plan "A"!

We absolutely loved this jeep tour. Karl was awesome…making sure we had the best experience possible. Warning…it is pretty bumpy going through the backroads of Arches National Park…but you get views that you wouldn’t get otherwise! We would definitely recommend this tour.

Ric was a great guide! He was so patient with my elderly parents, my Dad has trouble walking on uneven ground and Ric accommodated him without making him feel bad. Great conversation and information about Moab.

Our friends and I booked this excursion and enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon with our guide Karl. He was knowledgeable, funny and quite skilled in navigating areas that looked impossible to pass. He was considerate in letting us take needed breaks while giving us interesting points on where we had stopped. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone wanting to get an in depth look at the beauty of the arches.
