Overview

We will visit at least four locations for photography in iconic Arches National Park for the afternoon golden hour and sunset. I have traveled extensively in search of amazing photographic locations, and it is hard to beat Arches National Park for the wide variety of photographic locations, and it is an official international Dark Skies park. During the busy season, I will lead the tour to locations that are less well known but still spectacular.

I will show you great locations, and make suggestions on composition and subject matter. I can even help you with your camera settings if you are a beginner. After sunset. we will take a brief break for a picnic and go over camera settings for night photography while we wait for the Milky Way to emerge. (Note: in April & May, the Milky Way does not appear until after midnight, so we will return to Moab after sunset, and head back out late at night. A wee hours tour is available as a standalone tour during this time).

What's Included

  • Snacks Snack bars and trail mix
  • Bottled water I provide a cooler full of ice water to refill your refillable water bottles.
  • Timed Entry Permit
  • National Park admission - please bring a national parks pass or paid admission receipt from Arches.

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

I can meet you at any hotel or campground in Moab (not Castle Valley), or I can also meet you at the Moab or Arches Visitors Center. Note, I only have room for 4 passengers + gear comfortably in my vehicle, so only the first four people to sign up for this tour get driven by me. Others must drive their own vehicle (and follow me).

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
