A High-Octane Look at Moab’s Red Rock Wilderness
If you’re craving a close-up encounter with Utah’s rugged landscapes, the Moab Private 4×4 Tour on Hells Revenge delivers just that. For about $289 per person, you get around three hours of off-road fun, with the opportunity to visit some of Moab’s most famous trails—Hells Revenge and Fins N Things. Plus, the tour is completely private, which means your group can customize the experience and enjoy the thrill without other travelers around.
What we really appreciate about this tour is the personalized attention from guides like Jesse and Danny, who are praised for their knowledge and safety. Another highlight is the chance to drive or ride in UTVs, giving you a hands-on feeling of adventure, especially on trails that crawl over slick rock, climb cliff faces, and test your nerve on near-vertical drops.
One thing to keep in mind is that the trails are demanding and require moderate physical fitness, so it’s best suited for active travelers comfortable with heights and rugged terrain.

Arriving in Moab and Setting Off from the Heart of Town
Starting at the Moab Tourism Center, this tour is perfectly situated in downtown Moab, making it easy to incorporate into your itinerary. Meeting your guide here, you’ll find the process straightforward—just show up, and your adventure begins. The tour includes two vehicles: one driven by your guide (seats up to three passengers), and another for you or your group (up to four seats). This setup means your group can be as small as two or as large as seven, ensuring a more intimate experience away from large crowds.
The Trails: Hells Revenge and Fins N Things — Why They Matter
Hells Revenge is arguably the star of this tour. It’s known for its roller coaster-like feeling—climbing over slick rocks, crawling along cliff edges, and tackling near-vertical sections that thrill even seasoned off-roaders. Some reviews mention that without an experienced guide, tackling these inclines and declines might be daunting, but with a guide like Jesse, there’s a confident hand to lead the way.
Fins N Things offers a slightly easier but equally stunning ride through winding ridges and unique rock formations. It’s perfect for those who want a mix of adrenaline and scenic beauty, with plenty of opportunities for photo stops along the way. Travelers like Scott C. appreciate how guides stop at scenic spots to capture memories, making the experience both exciting and memorable.
The Experience: What It Feels Like
From the moment you start, you’re immersed in Moab’s spectacular terrain. Expect to climb over rugged slick rock, navigate tight turns, and perhaps even do some U-turns on narrow ledges. The guides’ attention to safety and instruction reassures first-timers, as mentioned in reviews praising guides like Jesse and Danny.
Those who’ve driven the UTVs say the experience is both thrilling and confidence-boosting. A family review highlights how even a child who’s scared of heights enjoyed the ride—thanks to a guide who made sure everyone felt comfortable. Snacks, water, and beverages provided keep you energized, especially during the hotter months or after a few challenging climbs.
The Guides: Why They Make the Difference
Our guides are the stars of this tour. Jesse, for example, gets high praise for being knowledgeable, friendly, and safety-conscious. Multiple reviews say to ask specifically for Jesse if you want a personal, engaging guide. They not only explain the terrain but also share stories and insights about the area’s geology and history, enriching the experience far beyond just the thrill of the ride.
Guides like Danny also excel at customizing the trip—stopping at scenic spots to take photos or adjusting the route based on your comfort level. That flexibility makes the tour ideal for a variety of groups—from adventure junkies to those wanting a more relaxed scenic ride.

The Value: Is It Worth It?
Considering the personalized nature, expert guides, and stunning scenery, many reviewers feel this tour offers excellent value for money. It’s not just about the thrill; it’s about creating lasting memories with a knowledgeable guide who ensures safety and fun.

Possible Drawbacks: Things to Consider
The main consideration is the physical aspect—the tour involves rugged terrain and some steep inclines, which might not suit everyone. Also, as with all outdoor activities, the weather can impact your experience. Hot summer days mean you’ll want sun protection and plenty of water.
Some reviews mention that the photos don’t do justice to the actual experience, which is true of most adventure tours—expect to be more impressed in person. Lastly, the duration of about three hours means you should be prepared for a physically engaging experience, but many find it just right for a full taste of Moab’s rugged beauty.
Who Will Love This Tour?
This experience is perfect for adventure lovers who want a personalized, guided ride through some of Moab’s most iconic trails. Families with children who are comfortable with off-road terrain will find it particularly rewarding, especially since kids have said it was “the best day ever.”
It’s also great for small groups or couples seeking a private, flexible outing—your guide can tailor stops and pace to your preferences. If you’re a photography enthusiast, the scenic stops and views along the ridges are worth capturing.
The Sum Up: Is It Right for You?

If you’re after an authentic, adrenaline-filled look at Moab’s famous trails, this private 4×4 tour truly delivers. The knowledgeable guides, like Jesse and Danny, turn a rugged ride into an informative adventure, making sure you’re comfortable and safe at every turn. The flexibility to choose your timing and the private nature of the tour makes it ideal for families, couples, or small groups who want a personalized experience.
