Description
Embark on a nocturnal adventure with our Dark Sky UTV Tour with Stargazing in the heart of Greater Zion. This unique experience combines the thrill of off-roading with the serene beauty of the desert night sky. As twilight fades, the desert transforms into a canvas of twinkling stars. Greater Zion is renowned for its clear skies and minimal light pollution, making it ideal for stargazing.

We'll make stops at scenic viewpoints to marvel at the Milky Way and possibly catch glimpses of shooting stars or distant planets. Driving under the vast, star-studded sky is a surreal experience that connects you with nature on a deeper level.

My daughter's first time driving ATV. The training and tour guide was extremely helpful. She became very comfortable very quickly. This ride was quite enjoyable too!
Thank you for your kind review Michelle! We're thrilled to hear you guys had such a great time and were comfortable driving. Come test out your new skills again anytime!
Great experience with focus on safety and fun!! Good for all ages. Night driving was good. Jerry was great as a guide!
Thanks for your review, Scott! We're so glad to hear you had such a great time on your tour with Jerry! If you find yourself in the area again, we'd love to see you back!
We had a great time. Only bummer is we didn’t get to see the stars since it was cloudy. I wish we had more opportunities to go faster. Regardless, we still enjoyed it.
We're glad to hear you had a great time regardless of the weather! Driving in the dark always adds such a fun element to the ride. If you find yourself in the area again, we'd love to have you back! And hopefully on a night with no clouds. :)
Probably the single best tour I’ve taken. Loads of fun and a great host. Scenery was epic and overall amazingly fun.

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.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are thrilled your family had such a great time on the stargazing tour. Melvin does an excellent job helping everyone feel comfortable and confident, especially first time riders. Watching the sunset, moonrise, and stars all in one ride makes for a pretty unforgettable experience. We also appreciate the tip about bringing a face covering. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see your group again soon.
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.
Thank you for the incredible review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear this adventure made it onto your family’s list of top experiences. It’s great to know you enjoyed the adrenaline and excitement. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back for another unforgettable ride!
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!
