One of the benefits of booking a trip with Utah Luxury Tours is enjoying a carefully curated itinerary designed to help you get an in-depth experience in some of the most incredible outdoor destinations in the United States. But another benefit is the chance to personalize your trip.
Our Scheduled Departure Tours include some built-in free time that lets you customize your experience by choosing from a variety of activities. If you want even more options to personalize your trip, consider booking a Private Tour instead. With a private tour, you’ll work with a Personal Travel Planner to fully customize every day of your trip. This includes not just where you’ll travel to but what you’ll do while you’re there, too.
Whether you choose a Scheduled Departure or Private Tour, if you have an adrenaline junky in your group, we have some incredible activities that you can add on to your trip. From river rafting to jet boat tours, these action-packed adventures are certain to get your heart pounding and help you create memories that you’ll never forget.
Keep reading to learn about a few of the adventure activities you can add to your next trip.
A Hot Air Balloon Ride
One of the most unique activities you can enjoy during a trip with Utah Luxury Tours is a hot air balloon ride high above Moab, Utah. Take to the skies just as the sun begins to rise for a truly incredible view of the region’s famous landscapes.
The journey your balloon takes will depend on the wind. You might travel over deep canyons or towering buttes. But what is guaranteed is that you’ll leave your tour with some incredible photos and a memory that you’ll never forget.
This tour is available through the Moab Adventure Center and is an excellent addition to a tour of Utah’s national parks. This is a family-friendly adventure, with children aged four or older welcome to join. Departure times vary by the season, with tours available from March to October.
River Rafting
Another offering from Moab Adventure Center that your Utah Luxury Tours Personal Travel Planner can help you add to your trip is river rafting. Choose from a half-day or full-day adventure on the Colorado River. The cliffs rising above the river have been featured in countless movies, and on your rafting trip, you’ll quickly see why.
You don’t need rafting experience to enjoy this adventure! Kids five and older are welcome on most tours, making this another fun family option. Rafting trips are available from March to October but keep in mind that water and air temperatures will be cold during the shoulder seasons. If it’s your first time rafting and you have your heart set on adding this adventure to your trip, consider visiting in the late Spring, early Fall, or summer for warmer temperatures.
Jet Boat Tours
River rafting can be an adrenaline rush as you work as a team with your raft mates to navigate rapids and obstacles. You’ll race through the river on a bumpy, exciting ride. But you’ll be putting in some hard work paddling your way downstream.
If you want a fast-paced water adventure without the work, a jet boat tour might be the perfect addition to your Utah Luxury Tours itinerary. Spin, jump, and splash across the Colorado River corridor as the flat-bottom boat takes you on a heart-pounding ride.
While the season typically runs from April to October, depending on water levels, like river rafting, booking a ride early or late in the season may mean a chilly trip. Consider booking in the summer months for a more comfortable experience. Children aged eight and older are welcome on jet boat rides.
Via Ferrata
“Via Ferrata” is Italian for “Iron Path.” As the name suggests, a Via Ferrata is a climbing route with steel cable rails, rungs, metal steps, and ladders that are affixed to the rock. Using these tools, you’ll make your way up, down, and across rock surfaces. It’s like a high-adventure version of a ropes course.
If you want to test your skills and bravery, this is a great addition to your tour. It’s also an excellent opportunity for team building or family bonding.
Via Ferrata is available from Raven’s Rim in Moab, Utah. Children aged 10 and older are welcome to join in on this adventure. Weight minimums and limits may apply.
A Fixed Wing Kodiak Airplane Flight
If a hot air balloon isn’t quite fast-paced enough for you, a flight on a fixed-wing Kodiak airplane might be just the alternative. Climb aboard a small plane to take an incredible aerial tour of Canyonlands and Arches National Park. Experience the region’s amazing rock formations from an entirely new angle, capture photos of the view, and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
Age and weight restrictions may apply. Like a few of the adventures on this list, weather may impact availability. Your Personal Travel Planner can help you learn more about adding this to your trip itinerary.
