It was AMAZING!! One of the hi-lights of our trip for sure!! - This was an Amazing Experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful in guiding my boyfriend and I, along with the rest of the group, in finding the just-right camera settings to capture beautiful photos, even on an partially cloudy evening!

Wonderful guided hike to breathtaking views - This was a fantastic experience for the whole family. We got some amazing pictures using our iPhones only. We didn’t even think the photography was something we were going to be that interested in and it ended up being our favorite part of the tour. Our tour guy, Brandon was very informative, helpful and he took the hiking at our pace. A highlight of our Moab trip for sure!

Arches after dark - This dark sky park tour was one I was most looking forward to on our vacation. It did not disappoint. Being in the park after dark is a very special experience and we were fortunate to have perfect conditions for star gazing. We saw thousands of stars, some planets, the Milky Way and even some shooting stars. Brandon was an awesome guide and provided lots of fun facts and helped us capture amazing family pictures. Brandon was well informed and prepared. This made our whole experience that much more enjoyable. A memorable night for our whole family! Highly recommend!!

Must Do Moab Activity - Such an incredible experience! You get to see the arches at night when the temps are way more manageable and there’s no crowds and it was so worth it! Our guide was awesome at helping us get great shots of the arches and even my husband and I. The other members of our group were super friendly too and we all enjoyed helping each other get great photos. 100% recommend!!

Wonderful experience! Totally worth doing! - This is one of the best experiences we’ve had on our family National Park tour! We didn’t have an SLR with us, but it totally didn’t matter. Brandon taught us all how to maximize our phones and walk away with amazing pictures. Brandon was very engaging, and had great conversations with our kids (12 and 14). He even took the time to help our kids figure out how to get amazing photos of our trip mascot (stuffed yellow belly marmot named Manny)

Wonderful experience! - This was one of the coolest things we’ve done on our National Park tour! Brandon was so great with our kids (14 and 12) too. He was incredibly engaging and taught us a lot about the constellations. We didn’t have an SLR camera with us, so Brandon showed us all how to maximize our phones to get some incredible photos. He even helped the kids figure out how to get a photo of our trip mascot (a stuffed yellow belly marmot) with the stars!

Great tour! - Brandon was very knowledgeable of both the park and night time photography. He brought all accessories we needed and showed us how to adjust settings on our iPhones to take the best pictures! He contacted us the day of the tour and ensured we had no questions in advance for him. The tour itself was perfect and we had a great night…. We were even blessed with the Milky Way!

Learning how to take pictures in the dark was the best. I'm anxious to do more of night timephotose photo - Even though the moon was a little bright we got some good pictures and great information to take more in the future. Doing this tour with friends and experiencing it together was so special.
