Welcome to the Best
Moab Vacation Starter Kit!

4 Days in The Most Fabulous Place On Earth

The Moab, Utah Vacation Sampler is like the "Tour of Italy" platter at an Italian bistro, only this sampler serves up a satisfying sauce of scenery and sophistication... and you get adventure du jour! This Moab, Utah vacation package is perfect for those who may be searching for a nibble of rafting and camping for one night - enough to find out if you want more. Relax in the luxuries of the SpringHill Suites by Marriott for the first 2 nights. In between, believe it or not, there's time to tour Arches National Park and take in a Sunset Hummer Safari over petrified sand-dunes to a stunning view over the Colorado River.

The final night finds you drinking in a Castle Valley sunset on a wide sandy beach along the Colorado River with wide open starlit vistas - leaving an impression that perhaps you ought to stay and sink your teeth into this place a bit longer, sometime in the future.

Day 2: Southwest Sampler »

Enjoy breakfast at the Springhill Suites, then meet in the lobby (7:15 AM) for an exploration of Arches National Park with our knowledgeable guides. You won’t believe your eyes as you tour this one-of-a-kind place where over 2,000 natural sandstone arches and towering red rock formations blanket the landscape. After hiking and touring Arches, you’ll eat a catered lunch at the Marriott hotel. This allows the chance to let the kids swim, or relax in the room until your late afternoon adventure. At sunset, you’ll experience the exhilaration of an incredible off-road excursion aboard the worlds’ most serious 4x4.

The next morning, you'll awake to the smells of coffee brewing and blueberry pancakes on the griddle. After breakfast, we break camp and head downriver. Moderate whitewater, wondrous sites and a delicious lunch at Red Cliffs Lodge round out the perfect 2-day rafting adventure. You'll arrive back to Moab around 2:00 PM.
