My family and I (6 adults and 2 teenagers) took the UTV stargazing tour with Melvin. He was such a great tour guide and provided clear instructions on how to maneuver our UTVs. He took us out for over 2 hours stopping to watch the sunset and the moon rise and ending with star gazing before heading back to Mad Moose. Some of our party were nervous initially but after a bit became confident with Melvin’s guidance. I would highly recommend bringing face coverings or purchasing one from the shop, it will make the experience much more enjoyable.
This was a wild, adrenaline fueled experience. 10 out 10 recommend. If you have a decent amount of ATV experience. This will stay in my family top experiences we have done.
This tour was very fun for both my husband and myself. The views are fantastic! Got great pictures of the sun setting and moon rising, Jayson was a great guide.
Thanks for your review! The views are truly one of a kind in the evening. We'll pass your kind words onto Jayson! :)
This was a blast. It was our first time doing something like this and I will admit it took me a little time to settle into it but ultimately I did. My kids loved it from minute one. Our guide, Jason, let my daughter ride with him so my son (19) could have the opportunity to drive. She felt completely comfortable riding with him and it was fun to watch my son get comfortable driving. The views were amazing. We would all highly recommend the experience.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad your family had such a great time and that what started as a new adventure turned into an unforgettable one. Jason will be thrilled to hear your kind words, and we're happy he helped make everyone, especially your daughter and son, feel comfortable and included. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome your family back for another adventure and even more amazing memories!
Fun and well worth the money. Jeff did a great job. The stargazing tour was a lot of fun; it was the highlight of our vacation. We got a bunch of great photos.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear the stargazing tour was the highlight of your vacation and that Jeff made the experience even more memorable. It's great to know you captured some amazing photos along the way. We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again for another unforgettable adventure under the stars!
My daughter and I were a little nervous after watching the video but our guide was patient. It took a few minutes to get used to driving that beast but was so worth the experience. We had fun and would recommend this. It is a very bumpy ride so if you don’t like getting knocked around, it may not be for you. We felt like we were in an alternate universe like Dune. So much fun! Fear is the mind killer!
Thank you for the awesome review! 😊 We love hearing that you and your daughter stepped outside your comfort zone and ended up having such a fun experience. Big shoutout to your guide for helping make those first few minutes easier and more enjoyable. The dunes really do feel like another world! Thanks for the recommendation—and we love the final takeaway: fear is the mind killer. Hope to see you both again for another adventure!
My girlfriend and I went to Utah for our vacation and tried this tour, not only was our tour guide Jeff Robinson professional but very friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to do this to go for it as you will not regret it. They also give the opportunity to switch off so if you have other people coming along, they can also experience the drive. The star gazing was amazing and we got to see plenty of stars.
Thank you for the awesome review. We are so glad you and your girlfriend had a great time on the tour. Jeff does an amazing job making guests feel comfortable while sharing his knowledge of the area. We are happy everyone had the chance to driver so y'all could experience the ride. Thanks for the recommendation, and we hope to see you both again on your next trip to Utah!
Great experience!! I thought it would be a slow follow the leader kinda thing, it was not!! Our guide led us on a fun filled UTV RIDE!! Must try!!
Thank you for the awesome review! 😊 We're so glad the tour exceeded your expectations and delivered a true UTV adventure. Our guides love showing guests just how much fun these machines can be! We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you back for another ride soon!
Fun experience, but go in with eyes open. It's follow-the-leader format with no real agency over speed or route. More importantly: you're financially liable for any vehicle damage, even if you did nothing wrong. I was following the car in front of me at normal speed and got a flat tire from a rock — ended up being charged $347. They also hold $1,500 on your card upfront. Views were great, but for ~$750 total with that kind of exposure, I'm not sure the value is there.
I took my kids here didn’t know what we were in for, but we had an amazing time. That was a highlight of our trip. We did the stargazing experience. Jason was amazing guide we had a blast. Thanks again.
We are glad your family decided to give the stargazing tour a shot and that it ended up being such a highlight of your trip. Jason does an awesome job making the experience fun and memorable. We appreciate you coming out with us and hope to see you all again someday.
