The backcountry part of the tour was amazing! Matt was a great guide and my family saw and learned a lot. The second rafting part was very scenic and relaxing. Will had an amazing sense of humor and was also a wealth of information. We had a lot of laughs on the river! My only negative was the provided lunch - definitely something that can be improved upon.

The whole trip was wonderful! Joe McCarthy was our guide through Canyonlands and he was GREAT! He took good care of us, bringing us to some great spots and not rushing us through them. We were able to enjoy each spot to our satisfaction before moving on. He told us all about the rock formations, petroglyphs, flowers and wildlife that we encountered on our trip and always ensured we had plenty to drink and some snacks if we were interested. Following the Canyonland tour, Bridger drove us to meet up with our guide for the river tour. I believe her name was Addie. She was fantastic. We enjoyed a nice picnic lunch before getting on the boat. The trip down the river was peaceful and lovely. The rapids were not excessive, but everyone got wet at least once. Addie did an amazing job at rowing us along the river and always with a smile. She pointed out the various rock formations or sights along the way. All in all, it was a spectacular day.

What great people they have there! Seem to be one big, happy family, and my friends, and I felt totally taken care of and had the best time! Our guides were very knowledgeable and funny and really helped create the full experience.

The 4 x 4 is actually an old Toyota SUV, the guide, however, made the trip he was so knowledgeable. Took time to take pictures. The rafting was a unique experience to see the canyonlands from below.

Amod_T

Both guides were experienced and knowledgeable about the environment, geology. we enjoyed our introduction to the Moab geography and history.

4x4 was excelent. Guide had good knowledge of area and easy to visit with. Landscape was beautiful. River raft was good, we have rafted many times in Montana so the landscape was the best part.

Matt, our super fun and friendly 4x4 driver, was very informative about the numerous geological and historical facts regarding Canyonland, which made what we were viewing even better. "Rebridgerator" our river raft guide, was a hoot! We were all laughing and having fun. Delicious Cesar Salad wraps, too, guys!

Brian_M

Matt was not only a good driver but an amazing tour guide. He made a good trip into a great one. Ask for him by name if you're doing 4x4!

injoy2911

Highly recommend the 4x4 in Canyonlands! It allowed us to sit back, relax, enjoy the views, and learn. No worry or stress about driving. Blain was so knowledgeable and taught us so much. He also made us feel very safe. Paul was a great River guide!
