When nature calls…When you gotta go, you gotta go! Adventure specialists, or those who dislike the comfort of their own beds at home, are being called by their numbers to join Land Rover for the Land Rover Moab Adventure, taking place in Moab, Utah.
Off-road enthusiasts with a knack for the outdoors, lots of sun and a general love for vehicles that feel much better outside the normal tarmac confines, can be part of this adventure. I’ve been to one of these Land Rover experiences in the sinky deserts of Namibia, and I can vouch that it’s one of the most exhilarating outdoor experiences out there, so to speak. The main aim of course, is to show off the capabilities of the brand that practically invented off-road – although it may be technically true that Model T Ford did a fair amount of this type of driving in places where they had no roads to speak of.
The Moab Adventure goes on for four days and three nights, ending up along the mighty Colorado River. This should be an awesome place to really go at these vehicles with. Best of all, according to the organisers, one doesn’t have to have any off-road experience at all, although a valid driver’s license would be key.
Land Rover is setting up camp for consumers delivering three luxury off-road 'Adventures' between April 18-29 in Moab, Utah – the legendary recreation haven that is known for its images of stunning scenery, immense red rock monuments and world-class outdoor recreation.
The Land Rover Moab Adventure is an exclusive four-day, three-night experience for Land Rover customers and off-road enthusiasts where each day begins and ends with the best local cuisine and luxury accommodations at the Sorrel River Ranch alongside the banks of the Colorado River.
Novice and experienced off-road adventurers have the opportunity to drive a Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and LR3 through some of Moab’s challenging, yet breathtakingly beautiful, red rock trails with the guidance of Land Rover’s world-class driving instructors.
"Land Rover has traveled the globe throughout its 60 year history and our owners reap the benefit of our experience in creating and delivering exceptional outdoor travel experiences," said Bob Burns, 3D experience driving programs manager, Land Rover North America. "Our owners tend to seek out adventure in remote and out of the way places and our adventures are designed to showcase the capability of our vehicles while finding unique and memorable locations."
The Land Rover Moab Adventure is offered to a limited number of outdoor enthusiasts for $2,995* per person, based on double occupancy (single occupancy is $3,495* per person). Pricing includes luxury accommodations at the Sorrel River Ranch, inclusive of meals and beverages, designated activities and park entrance fees, and the use of a Land Rover while based in Moab. Participants must be 21 years old, and carry a valid driver's license. Previous off-road experience or Land Rover ownership is not required.
Geared toward potential and current Land Rover owners, Land Rover Adventures presents each participant with a first-class vacation and unique off-road driving opportunities. Each Land Rover Adventures trip is designed to familiarize off-road enthusiasts with the supreme range of capabilities and technologies that only Land Rover vehicles possess. Land Rover driving instructors will personally teach and guide each participant through unpaved terrain and trails, testing the capacities of both vehicle and driver.
In 2007, Land Rover visited some of South Africa’s most awe-inspiring destinations, including: a spectacular drive on the South African coast, a voyage through the scenic Swartberg Mountains and quick stops in quaint South African towns. What Land Rover African adventure would be complete without a game drive; last year's participants traveled in a Land Rover Defender at the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve. A similar program is under review for Namibia in the fall of 2008, and location and details will be the subject of a future announcement.
While Land Rover Experience Centers are set up globally, Land Rover Germany is currently the only other country to offer a comparable Land Rover Adventures program. The programs vary between four and 14 days and are located in the following countries: Namibia, Spain, Iceland, Canada, Scotland, and Argentina.
Reservations: Space is extremely limited. For program details and to reserve your space on this adventure of a lifetime, please call Land Rover Adventures at 1-828-225-1541.
