5.00Awesome tour. Our guide Mark Trunzo was phenomenal. He had extensive knowledge of the trails, how to give a tour and more importantly how to tailor the adventure for our family of four including 13 and 15 year old daughters. Everyone had a great experience and he found a way to connect with each member of the party: from useless facts to break the ice with the girls, to multiple "dad" jokes that got simultaneous groans from teens and laughs from parents. And for those who really want an off road journey, he knows "how to hit all the bumps." It was the perfect balance of entertainment, conservation and education. Well worth the experience, especially for those looking for adventure off the beaten path.
Great fun!

Unforgettable Backcountry Jeep Adventure in Arches National Park

5.00We had an incredible backcountry Jeep tour through Arches National Park with Bill, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, the experience was fun, engaging, and packed with fascinating insights about the park’s geology, history, and hidden gems. Bill was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. He made the ride both exciting and comfortable, navigating the rugged terrain with ease while sharing stories and pointing out features we would have completely missed on our own. His enthusiasm really brought the landscape to life. The backcountry access made all the difference. We got to see parts of the park that most visitors never experience, with stunning views, fewer crowds, and plenty of great photo opportunities. The Jeep ride itself was a blast—just the right mix of adventure and scenic exploration. Overall, this tour was the perfect combination of fun and education. If you’re visiting Arches and want a unique, memorable way to experience it, I highly recommend booking a backcountry Jeep tour with Bill. It’s absolutely worth it!
Amazing

5.00This was a really fun experience. We got to see places of the park that we normally wouldn’t get to if we were not on a private tour. The off Roading was really cool. The one thing I would say is that it is very bouncy in the car as you were going over the rocks. You will want to keep that in mind. It’s not for everyone but the payoff is great.

5.00We had a great day in the Arches park. Our guide Mark was excellent. Very informed and eat going. We meet a nice couple from Florida as our jeep companion. There air conditioned jeeps were fantastic. Mark showed us a number of arches that we would never of seen if we went by ourselves. If you only have enough time to do one thing, we would highly recommend Adrift Adventures.
