The guide was the best thing, Brandon - very helpful, patient and very friendly. He was determined to help all of our group get great pictures even on our iphones. Just the experience of being in Arches after dark, hiking by moonlight was a once in a lifetime experience. There wasn’t a bad part about the whole experience. Loved it!

This was the perfect ending to our day. Brandon was fabulous- super patient explaining camera and iPhone features- the stars were out in full force and we saw the Milky Way! Highly recommend!

Brandon was an amazing guide and instructor. My son and I had zero expectations about what photos we were going to capture but were amazed at what incredible shots we got.

Was an awesome experience. Stars and the setting was amazing. Guide taught us a ton about night photography. Was one of the best tours we’ve been on.

Fantastic tour. Our guides, Ric and Mark, were just great. They were knowledgeable, safe and attentive. It was a wonderful adventure for our family.
