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. Navigate through sand dunes and red rock trails under the gentle glow of moonlight, guided safely by our expert team.
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. Whether you're an avid astronomer, a thrill-seeker, or seeking unforgettable memories, this tour offers something truly special.

5.00My partner and I had a blast on this tour and would strongly recommend. We were given easy, straightforward instructions on safety and how to operate the vehicle. Melvin was very familiar with the terrain, expertly guiding the group and giving ongoing instructions. Melvin and Jason were very personable, making us feel comfortable throughout the experience.
Fun times at Hurricane Utah!!

5.00Fun! Fun! Fun! It’s The first time we have done something like this, and it will not be the last. If you’re going to do something like this, do the night run and make sure it’s going to be a clear night before you go. Our guides were awesome.
Beautiful night drive!

5.00Great communication leading up to the activity! Was super excited and still the experience surpassed expectations with the steep climbs and drops and views. We will highly recommend to others and take another trip soon! One note is to try to time for a new moon to really see the stars (as opposed to a full moon).

5.00Excellent experience, even for first time ATV-ers like me & my wife. Jeff was a master of the terrain, made us comfortable with the Polaris Razors (brand new BTW), and took us to a great star gazing location via the 'scenic route'. Highly recommended, even for newbies!
Highly recommend

5.00This was such a great experience! My kids said it was “the best” and instantly asked to go back! The UTV was fast, so guide was fun and the sites were stunning.
Worth it! Beautiful views and fun adventure.

5.00We had a great time on this night ride. Our guide, Russell, was awesome. We booked the "star gazing" tour and half the ride was before sun down, the other half in the dark. It felt like the actual star gazing part was a bit of an afterthought. That's not a slight against the tour - the appeal mostly is driving the UTVs of course. But just want to share an accurate review. We had a great time. The company does put a $1500 credit card hold in case you damage the UTV, which is released after return. They take photos of the machine before and after your ride. We did a similar tour with another company on this trip that did not require such a hold, but signed a liability form accepting responsibility/payment in case of damage. I know these machines are expensive but the $1500 hold seemed excessive when you are running a business based on these rides.
Don was an amazing Tour...

5.00Don was an amazing Tour guide! We had an absolute blast before sunset and after sunset! We got to see some amazing views of the cities all around us along with the stars in the sky. Definitely would do this tour again!
Unforgettable Night Ride & Stargazing Experience

5.00We had an amazing time! I booked this experience as an anniversary gift to celebrate our 26th anniversary, hoping to enjoy the night sky and see the stars—and it exceeded expectations. Jerry and Russell were fantastic guides who really know their constellations, which made the experience even more special. The vehicle was clean and well maintained, and the trails were an absolute blast. Highly recommend!
