Hummer Safari Sunset Tour

About This Adventure

There's a reason photographers set alarms for the last hour before sunset in Moab. The iron oxide in the sandstone responds to low-angle light the way nothing else does — warming from red to amber to near-orange, casting shadows that carve the terrain into sharp relief. The Hummer Safari Sunset times the slickrock circuit east of town to that window.

Your driver navigates the route as the afternoon light shifts, choosing viewpoints that face west and ridge lines that catch the glow. Departs mid-afternoon; family-friendly from age three. The drive back happens after the sun has dropped and the desert stars start appearing. 3 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What time does the Sunset Hummer Tour start?+

  Departure times vary with the season, since we go out to match golden hour and the desert sunset. Exact times are shown when booking, and the tour lasts about 3 hours.

• Will I really see the sunset?+

  This tour is timed to catch the desert at its most beautiful. Even if clouds soften the colors, guests often say the shifting light on the rocks is just as magical as a bright, glowing sunset. There of course are times when the sun is obscured by a bank of clouds and the sunset is not as visible as we hoped, but most guests still enjoy the cooler evenings and a memorable way to finish off a day in Moab.

• Is this tour good for photography?+

  Absolutely. You’ll stop at overlooks with wide views of the Colorado River, Arches National Park, and the La Sal Mountains. Sunset lighting makes the red rocks glow, and guides often help point out the best angles.

• Can kids join the Sunset Tour?+

  Yes, children 5 and older are welcome. Many families enjoy the tour together, though younger kids may get tired toward the end if it’s close to bedtime. If you think this may be the case, you might opt for a shorter morning tour.

• How rough is the ride?+

  The route includes steep slickrock climbs and descents—part of the fun\! Guests often describe the ride as thrilling but smoother and more controlled than they expected.

• Will I get cold after the sun goes down?+

  Evenings can cool quickly in the desert. We recommend bringing a light jacket or hoodie, especially in spring or fall. In summer, most guests find the evening air refreshing.
