Ride Moab Industries builds half‑day private excursions around you: a guide, a personalized route through Moab’s sandstone and slickrock, and a program scaled from scenic beginner loops to hard‑enduro terrain. Each outing is led by guides trained for safety and local trail knowledge, and options exist to add motorcycle rentals and full protective gear for a complete off‑road experience.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Completely Customized Riding — Scenic to Extreme

Every half‑day tour is built to your skill level and vision: choose easy scenic runs, technical singletrack, or hard‑enduro terrain and the guide will map a route that fits the group.

THE SERVICE

Exclusively Private — One Guide, Your Group

These are private tours — it’s just you (or your group) and an expert guide who leads, supports, and adapts the day to your pace and objectives.

THE OPTIONS

Add Rentals and Full Gear for a Turnkey Day

If you need a bike or protection, motorcycle rentals can be added and full‑gear rental packages are offered so you can arrive ready to ride without hauling equipment.

What the day feels like

What the Half‑Day Feels Like

The rhythm is compact and focused: gear up, travel with your guide to selected trailheads, and spend the bulk of four hours riding terrain dialed to your ability. The guide paces the group, provides local route knowledge and on‑trail instruction as needed, then returns you after a concentrated block of off‑road time — all arranged around your preferred morning or afternoon window.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this half‑day is best for — and what to watch for.

1
Novice RidersWell suited when you choose a novice trail option and rent full protective gear; guides scale pacing and route selection for less experienced riders.
2
Experienced RidersA strong match if you want technical terrain or hard‑enduro sections — guides tailor routes to push skills while managing on‑trail safety.
3
Groups & Private PartiesIdeal: tours are exclusively private and accommodate single riders through large groups so you ride only with your party and the guide.
4
Riders Bringing Their Own BikeAllowed and common, but note specific equipment recommendations (heavy‑duty tubes or mousse inserts); Utah OHV course is not required for tours, though other permit rules may apply.
