Take the Wheel on Moab's Slickrock, Four to a Machine
You do the driving on Hell's Revenge while a guide picks the line ahead of you. The booking is priced by the machine, so what a party of four pays is what a single driver pays.
Hell's Revenge is bare sandstone outside Moab, and it does not look like a road. The rock rolls in domes and fins, drops into bowls, and climbs at angles that feel wrong from the driver's seat. The company's own trail notes call it their most famous, with steep climbs, hard descents, and named obstacles like the Hot Tubs and the Escalator.
On this tour you are the one steering. A guide leads and picks the line, and you follow it. No off-road experience is asked for beforehand.
The operator puts the whole outing at three and a half hours. The listing puts three of those hours on the trail itself.
Departures run twice a day from the office at 78 W 100 N, one in the morning and one timed to the end of the day. Booking closes twelve hours ahead of the departure time.
Top-Rated Moab You-Drive UTV Tour: Fins N Things & Hell’s RevengeThree and a half hours out of the Outlaw Adventure Tours office in Moab, with three of them on trail. One four-seat Kawasaki KRX 1000 per booking, helmets, a safety briefing and driving orientation, a guide leading, and bottled water. Gratuities are not included.www.viator.comWho Is Allowed to Drive
The machine is a Kawasaki KRX 1000 with four seats. The driving rules come from the operator's own tour page, and they are firmer than the booking form suggests. Drivers aged 21 and over need a valid license. Drivers aged 18 to 20 need a valid license and a parent or guardian riding in the same vehicle. The company does not recommend the tour for children under four.
Helmets come with the machine. So does a safety briefing and a driving orientation before anyone moves.
Closed-toe shoes are required for every rider, and the company specifies shoes that stay attached to your feet.
Two Departures, and the Evening One Keeps Moving
The morning run leaves at 9:00 for most of the season. The evening one is the reason people book late, and its hour slides earlier as the year turns. The booking calendar puts it at 5:15 in late July, 4:45 from late August, 4:15 from the middle of September, 3:45 in early October, and 3:15 after the twentieth.
In November both departures move again, to 10:00 and 2:00. Both run seven days a week. Read the exact hour off your confirmation before you plan the evening around it.
The Price Buys the Machine
This one is booked by the vehicle. A single booking covers one four-seat machine, so a party of four pays the same total as a driver going out alone. The listed starting price is 395 US dollars for that vehicle, and it moves with date and departure.
A larger group fits on one reservation. The listing takes up to fifteen travelers on a single booking and caps a shared departure at twenty.
What to Have With You
Bottled water comes with the tour. The company suggests bringing your own snacks and any non-alcoholic drinks you want, along with a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and something to take pictures with.
Layers matter here. The company warns that its morning and evening departures swing in temperature through spring and fall, which is high desert behaviour and catches people who dressed for the parking lot.
Gratuities sit outside the price.
Check in at the office at 78 W 100 N. The operator's tour page asks for thirty minutes before departure, while the booking listing says fifteen and warns that arriving later than that can cost you the tour with no refund. Thirty is the number to plan around. Your confirmation email carries a waiver link, and filling it in before you arrive shortens the time at the desk.
Parking is free in front of the building. With an RV or a trailer the company points you one block over to 100 W, still within walking distance. There is no company shuttle, though Moab Area Transit runs a fare-free service around town and takes on-demand rides through its app.
Cancel at least twenty-four hours before departure for a full refund.
Then it is your hands on the wheel, a guide picking the line ahead of you, and three hours of sandstone that keeps tilting away from level.
