Details

In the rugged landscapes surrounding Hurricane, Utah, Mad Moose Rentals offers an unmatched gateway to the region’s signature off-road and waterborne adventures. Situated just outside the gateway to Zion National Park, this area boasts wide-open desert dunes, red-rock canyons, and shimmering reservoirs that beckon outdoor enthusiasts to seek adrenaline and immersive nature encounters. Mad Moose Rentals capitalizes on these dramatic settings through an extensive selection of tours and rentals designed to match every pace—from sunrise surf sessions on Quail Creek State Park’s waters to private UTV tours climbing the steep inclines of Sand Mountain and Warner Valley.

The region’s geology is a sharp contrast of smooth water surfaces against rugged rock formations, with sites like Toquerville Falls offering lush oasis experiences amid otherwise arid terrain. The West Rim tours expose adventurers to sweeping canyon-edge vistas similar to those found in Zion, while the Flintstone House and Babylon Dinosaur Tracks lend a quirky historical edge to the excursions.

What sets Mad Moose Rentals apart is not just the breadth of their offerings—ranging from guided tours to self-driven Polaris Slingshot vehicles and multi-day jet ski or boat rentals—but their ability to cater to all experience levels and group sizes. Whether it’s a scenic 2-hour captained boat tour or a week-long UTV adventure with stargazing under a dark sky, clients gain access to expertly maintained equipment and guides with detailed local knowledge.

This company forms a vital part of Hurricane’s outdoor recreation ecosystem, helping visitors tap directly into the area’s vibrant mix of adventure sports and nature immersion. From families seeking kid-friendly rides to seasoned thrill seekers, Mad Moose Rentals is a reliable launch point for diving deep into Southern Utah’s wild playground.

Check watercraft safety briefings

Before jet ski or boat rentals, review safety procedures closely to enjoy the reservoir responsibly.
