Private vehicle tours
Wild West Voyages, priced by the vehicle
Private park days for groups of four and up, with a published starting rate and a stated cost per extra guest, which is more transparency than most private operators in Moab offer.
The short answer
Best for: groups of four or more who want a private vehicle and want to know the number before they ring.
An Arches morning starts at about $631 for up to four guests, with roughly $140 per extra person. The two park Arches and Canyonlands day is about $934.

Per vehicle as published by the operator, checked September 2026, before tax and gratuity. Confirm park entry and current rates when booking.
Publishing the marginal cost of an extra guest is unusual and useful. It means a group of six can work out the Arches morning without a phone call: about $631 plus two at $140, so roughly $911, or about $152 each.
The comparison
When the vehicle beats the seat
Private vehicles look expensive next to a $114 seat and stop looking expensive somewhere around four people. Here is where that happens with these particular numbers.
| Party size | Private, per person | Mild to Wild at $114 | Mild to Wild premium at $199 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two people | About $316 | $228total | $398total |
| Four people | About $158 | $456total | $796total |
| Six people | About $152 | $684total | $1,194total |
Private figures derived from the published base rate and the stated cost per extra guest. Shared seat figures are another operator's published rates, shown for comparison.
At four people the private morning works out at about $158 each, which sits between the two Mild to Wild prices while giving you the vehicle to yourselves. At six it drops to around $152 and comfortably beats the small group shared option.
For two people it does not add up, and this site would rather say so. A couple is better served by a shared departure or by one of the operators who price private hiking per group from $100 to $350 per person.
Fit
Who this suits
Groups of four to six
The clearest case
This is where per vehicle pricing does its work. Around $158 each at four, roughly $152 at six, with no strangers, no fixed lunch stop and no waiting at each viewpoint.
Families travelling together
One vehicle, one plan
Everybody in the same vehicle, a pace set by your group rather than the schedule, and the option to cut the day short without letting anybody down.
Not for
Solo travellers and couples
At one or two people the arithmetic does not work. A shared seat from $114 is the better buy, and the site would rather point you there.
Before you book
What to ask when you ring
- What is the rate at our group size, and what changes if somebody drops out.
- What is included. Transport, gear, park entry, meals, tax and gratuity all vary.
- How much walking is there on our date, in miles rather than in adjectives.
- How many guests are already booked, if the trip is shared.
- What is the cancellation window, and is a deposit required.
Confirm the current rate and whether Arches entry is included, since the gate charges $30 per vehicle. Ask what the two park day covers on your date as well, because Canyonlands in a one day itinerary means Island in the Sky rather than the Needles.
We do not run trips, own gear or employ guides, and no operator pays to appear here or to appear higher. Details below are from each company's own published material, checked September 2026. Full disclosure.
Common questions
Questions
How much does a Wild West Voyages tour cost?
An Arches morning starts at about $631 for up to four guests, with roughly $140 for each additional person. The Arches and Canyonlands day is about $934 for up to four. These are per vehicle rates rather than per person, before tax and gratuity.
Is a private Moab tour worth it for four people?
On these numbers, yes. About $631 split four ways is roughly $158 each, which sits between the two published shared rates from Mild to Wild while giving you the vehicle to yourselves. At two people a shared seat is the better buy.
How many people fit on a Wild West Voyages tour?
The base rate covers up to four guests and the operator publishes a cost of about $140 for each additional person, so larger groups are accommodated. Confirm the vehicle capacity when you ring.
Does the Arches and Canyonlands day cover the whole of Canyonlands?
No. A one day itinerary means Island in the Sky, the district closest to Moab. The Needles is 74 miles away and the Maze is 162, which is why operators sell those as separate trips.
Is park entry included?
Confirm when you book. Arches charges $30 per vehicle at the gate and Moab operators differ on whether it sits inside the quoted price.
