FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our tour time is our start time. We will begin our vehicle orientation and safety briefing on time. We can’t begin until all business is complete including check-in, Participant Agreements and gear fittings. We do all of this prior orientation to maximize riding time. Your email confirmation will have important information about what time you should arrive, please read it carefully.  For most tours you must arrive 15 minutes prior to start time. Out of courtesy to other guests, if you are not here with all business complete and gear selected when orientation begins, you may forfeit your spot on the tour without refund. Think of it like catching a flight. You wouldn’t arrive at the airport at departure time. If you have any questions about this, please CONTACT US.

For most of our UTV You-Drive tours, we leave right from our location at 1041 S. Main Street. You must arrive 15 minutes before your tour start time to complete any outstanding business and select gear.

We trailer your UTV to the trailhead for our You-Drive tours, The Works, Gemini Bridges – Arch Hunting and Poison Spider. Your email confirmation will have important information for picking up gear and meeting your tour.

For our Moab Mega Buggy Ride-Along tours, links for navigating to the trailhead will be in your confirmation email. This lets you take the beautiful drive in the comfort of your own vehicle and gives you the ability to leave the trailhead directly without coming back to our office.

Moab Wanderer tours depart from our location at 1041 S. Main Street. Please arrive 30 minutes in advance for check-in and safety briefing so we can depart on time.

We make check-in easy and fast by sending links to our Participant Agreements in our confirmation email. Completing those forms prior to arrival is easy and helps us get riding sooner. Nothing to print or bring with you. All forms come back to us electronically.

We love the rain and find that rain can make the area even more beautiful. We operate rain or shine and love waterfall chasing whenever the opportunity presents itself! However, in cases of extreme weather that requires us to cancel, we will offer you the opportunity to reschedule or receive a refund.

Our adventures are sure to be among the highlights of your visit to Moab. We recommend you plan your ride with us, early in your stay for opportunity to reschedule if weather does become a factor. Not only that, but you’ll be spending at least a few hours with a local guide. They love giving tips on other things to do while you are here. We think hanging out with us early in your visit can help make the rest of your stay even better.

We welcome all fitness levels on our tours! You will be riding in or driving a well-equipped vehicle, and no walking is required. However, there are places where the best views are located a short walk away. While these extra treks are optional, you’ll likely have a better time if you get out to see them.

Our operating season is generally the first part of March through Thanksgiving weekend each year. Our last day of operation for 2023 will be November 26 and we will return on or before March 1, 2024. Weather and other factors may allow us to open our season early or force our season to end early. Our calendar is always up to date and accepting reservations.

Absolutely. We are proud to bring you Moab’s safest Side By Side fleet. Custom performance roll cages exceed manufacturers bolt together safety standard. We equip them with front and rear bumpers and rock rails protecting soft plastic body panels that can give way. You have a left and right side mirrors as well as an upgraded center rearview mirror offering a wide radius view. We equip each UTV with OEM safety harnesses. Lastly, our tour fleet is impeccably maintained and exclusively used for guided tours. What does this mean? Your vehicle has never been out of our sight. While we tackle the tough trails, we do so with skill that we pass along to our guests so you can be sure your vehicle has not been “driven like a rental” at any time.

And, as for the Moab Mega Buggy, we custom-built this vehicle to the highest safety standards. Our mega buggy features 4-point safety harnesses, racing seats, and is made of 2” heavy wall DOM tubing. In addition, while most touring vehicles have some sort of sport bar or cage bolted onto a finished vehicle, Epic’s mega buggy is one giant roll cage chassis, allowing it to handle even the most intense terrain in the safest manner with ease.

Our newest touring giant Moab Wanderer continues our commitment to brining you Moab’s safest fleet. We began with a brand new vehicle with reliability and modern safety features from the manufacturer then, we take it to another level. Our 2” heavy duty tube-built passenger cabin is a full safety cage properly engineered and triangulated. Our steel frame suspension seats are equipped with safety harnesses rather than lap belts. Deep footwells keep your feet solidly planted so your knees are not in your face because your seat is on the vehicle floor.

Our guides work hard to keep you safe and ensure you have a great time wheeling with us. They strive to bring you the best experience and create memories and stories you’ll share for years to come. A gratuity let’s them know they did a good job and you had a great time. Tipping is not mandatory and we never add a gratuity to our scheduled tours. Our guides strive to earn it and are grateful when you feel they’ve earned it too.

We do not have a specific age requirement for children but children must weigh 30 pounds or more and be able to support a DOT offroad style helmet for our UTV tours and Moab Mega Buggy. Our safety harnesses are remarkably safe for both youth and adults, but they are not designed for child car seats or standard vehicle booster seats. For smaller children and children under 8, we have a special booster seat designed for the harnesses in our UTVs and in the Moab Mega Buggy. Minor children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Moab Wanderer is suitable for all ages. Children under 30 pounds will be required to ride inside the vehicle cab and parents must bring their own child safety seats.

Older adults will also have a great time on our tours. In fact, one of our staff members brought along her 92-year-old grandmother who had a blast!

Drivers for our You-Drive UTV Tours must be a licensed driver 18+ to operate our vehicles. 16 – 17 licensed drivers may operate our vehicles with parent consent and a parent in the vehicle at all times.* A learner’s permit does not meet this requirement for any driver of any age.

We love our pets too but our 4X4 tours are just not the place for them. We do not have seats or harnesses to keep them safe.
