Addressing the refined tastes of sophisticated and distinguished travelers who cherish customized tours, private small groups, and incomparable touring experiences, Utah Luxury Tours was conceived 12 years ago to meet the demand for luxury private tours and 5-star accommodations throughout the American Southwest, with a particular focus on national park touring. Established as a subsidiary of Moab Luxury Coach, Incorporated, our journey began with one-day luxury tours departing from Park City, expanding gradually to craft two-day expeditions centered around the iconic national parks of Arches and Canyonlands near Moab.
In the span of the last 12 years, Utah Luxury Tours has undergone a remarkable evolution. Presently, we curate exclusive one- to ten-day odysseys through the Rocky Mountains, the Grand Circle, and, significantly, the Mighty 5 Utah national parks, attracting discerning travelers from every corner of the globe.
Our commitment to excellence led us to introduce small group tours, specifically tailored for solo travelers and couples. This addition is designed for those who seek optimal value while immersing themselves in the enchantment of the Southwest, all while focusing on the national park touring experiences that define our distinctive brand.

Towering fins, balanced rocks, and sandstone spires rise dramatically from the desert floor, creating a dreamlike landscape that inspires awe in every direction.
Located just five miles north of Moab, Arches spans approximately 76,000 acres of high desert terrain. The park’s unique geology is the result of millions of years of erosion and shifting sandstone layers, exposing deep reds, oranges, and golds that glow brilliantly at sunrise and sunset.
