Itinerary
Visit Arches National Park on a 4-wheel drive (4WD) tour that features spectacular sandstone arches and access to areas that most visitors don't see. An expert guide will maneuver your 4WD past red rock highlights such as Marching Men, Tower Arch and Eye of the Whale. Experience these monuments and more up close and learn about the park’s wildlife and history.
This 5-hour tour even includes a stop to see fossilized dinosaur tracks, left behind millions of years ago when dinosaurs roamed the region.
Eye of the Whale Arch is located in the Herdina Park area of Arches. An optional 1/2 mile hike leads you under the arch to an outcropping of seldom visited red rock formations .
An optional hike to the awe-inspiring Tower Arch begins at the foot of the bluff, where the 4WD road ends. From here, the route is rocky and steep, though short. Tower Arch itself is very large with a 92-foot span and can be viewed from the trailhead for those opting out.

Traveler reviews
Marcia is the best!

Excellent Introduction to Arches National Park
This was an excellent tour and a great way to experience Arches National Park. Our guide, Abbie, was friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic throughout the trip. She provided informative commentary about the geology, history, and natural features of the park while ensuring that everyone had ample opportunity to enjoy the scenery and take photographs. Arches is a remarkable landscape, and the tour did an excellent job showcasing many of the park's most impressive features. The pace was comfortable, the vehicle was well suited to the terrain, and the overall experience was both enjoyable and informative. What I particularly appreciated was the opportunity to learn more about how the arches and other rock formations developed over time. The combination of spectacular scenery and knowledgeable interpretation made for a memorable experience. I have taken many guided tours over the years, and this was a very good one. Abbie did an excellent job, and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Moab and Arches National Park.
Excellent Arches Jeep Tour
Loved the jeep ride tour through Arches! It was a great experience! We got to see arches up close and personal that you wouldn’t normally see on your own. Matt was a great tour guide. He kept us safe and very entertained and informed. It was a great day!
Don’t miss out
Awesome experience with Seth- he was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area, geology, and rock formations. He was a very skilled and careful driver and my son especially enjoyed the hikes and consideration from Seth. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
Awesome Arches National Experience
We had an awesome off road experience with Adam today to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Adam was very knowledgeable and informative on the tour and we felt very comfortable with his driving even though this was our first off-road trip into a national park. Would highly recommend because you’ll definitely see things that only experienced hikers would see, but from an air conditioned vehicle! Great tour for seniors!
