This is a self-guided driving tour. Transportation and a driver are not included, so you’ll need your own vehicle or rental car.

The tour can be started from either the northbound or southbound approach to Arches National Park. Follow the starting-point directions in the Shaka Guide app.

Download the Shaka Guide app after booking and use the redemption code provided in your confirmation to access your tour.

Download the tour over strong Wi-Fi before entering the park. Cell service is spotty throughout Arches. Once downloaded, the audio and map work offline, and GPS-triggered narration plays automatically as you drive.

The itinerary is flexible. Stops, viewpoints, and hikes are recommendations, not requirements. Skip stops, stay longer at places that interest you, or choose shorter hikes based on your available time.

Arches National Park requires a separate entrance pass. Park admission is purchased separately from the National Park Service and is not included with the Shaka Guide tour.

Advanced timed-entry reservations are not required at Arches National Park in 2026. However, entrance delays or temporary vehicle diversions may occur when the park becomes congested, and parking at popular stops can fill. Arriving early and remaining flexible is recommended.

The Shaka Guide tour visits the Fiery Furnace Viewpoint only. Entering the Fiery Furnace requires a separate ranger-guided reservation or self-guided permit from the National Park Service and is not part of this tour.

Hiking is optional. Trail difficulty varies significantly, from short viewpoint walks to strenuous hikes such as Delicate Arch. Choose activities that match your ability, available time, weather, and current trail conditions.

Accessibility varies by stop. Because this is a self-guided tour using your own vehicle, accessibility depends on your vehicle and the locations you choose to visit. Many trails include sand, uneven rock, steep grades, or other terrain that may not be wheelchair or stroller accessible.

Desert conditions can be hot and exposed. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and appropriate footwear.

Bring a fully charged phone. A car charger is recommended for a full day of exploring.
