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.

First time UTV and WOW so much fun!! Great mix of terrain - sand dunes and rocks means you really get to push your (limited!) off-roading skills. Beautiful at sunset and the stars are great. Definitely chilly - bring gloves and warm pants. Plus they really do need you there 30 min before the scheduled tour start time!!
Fun time!

Great time riding the UTVs. Cassie was a great guide! We enjoyed both the fast sand tracks and the rock crawling. Nice buggies with good equipment and radios. Took pictures a couple different places and enjoyed the views. Once it got dark enough to see the stars, Cassie was able to point out the constellations to us. Another trip over the top of huge rocks, twists of the sand tracks and down the sand slide on the way back. Very fun adventure. Would absolutely do it again!

Blake was our guide, and he did an awesome job showing us around. He made sure we were comfortable with the machines, gave some knowledge of the land, provided water, and was just a great guy. We had a great time and would definitely do it again!

This was an awesome experience all the way around. While not our typical activity, we decided to give this a shot as something we would not be able to find anywhere near where we live. And we have absolutely no regrets! While we were both a little nervous starting off, we got over that quickly and sank into the rush. We chose the 7:00 p.m. tour as a chance to see the sunset and hopefully a few stars. RD delivered an experience we will never forget. For those who don't read carefully, don't be surprised that Mad Moose is out in the middle of nowhere because you are riding in the desert, and you are driving yourself while following a guide.
Perfect thrill

This was the most exciting, adrenaline inducing, scenic adventure we have ever been on! Don H. was our guide, and he was super attentive, knowledgeable, and fun. He would ask us to do different things and take videos that he airdropped to us at the end of the excursion. He was incredible at checking in with us and reading our comfort to allow us to do really fun things like rock crawl and hit sand dunes slopes for my boyfriend, while also stopping at very beautiful landscapes to take pictures for me. It was the best experience, more than I could’ve asked for. We now want to buy our own off road vehicle! Thank you, Don and Mad Moose Rentals!
