My $0.02 after attending the Half-Day Adventure in MOAB.
I attended the full day Off -Roadeo back in May 2022 in Vegas and just completed the Half-Day Adventure this past weekend. IMO the half-day was an excellent and even superior option to the full off-roadeo. The reason I went to the half day was that a jeep friend upgraded to a used '22 Bronco and another friend (this is his first off road vehicle) also recently purchased a used Bronco. Since buying used they cannot attend the full off-roadeo.
Anyhow, we showed up in the morning with everyone and after check-in they announced as usual, that there would be an approximate 45 min. introduction and meet and greet. Another instructor immediately stepped in and said half-day attendees follow me outside. The long and short of it was that we had a quick discussion on our experience and what we wanted to get out of it. We wanted to learn the intricacies of the Bronco controls for the new/used Bronco owners, take on some challenging obstacles, and have fun. We immediately headed off in the Broncos and started wheeling.
We ended up being the only ones enrolled in the half-day so we essentially got a 5 hr. private session, driving the entire time, going on terrain and obstacles that the normal off-roadeo attendees are not allowed to or are taken on. The obstacles were much more challenging than what I experienced on the full-day program in Vegas. While I thought I knew all of the ins and outs of my Bronco (I've had mine since Nov '21), I learned some things about the controls, settings, and the limits (actually lack of limits) to some of the settings and modes. I had my wife drive the entire time and while some obstacles she was scared to attempt (definitely a major pucker factor on some of the obstacles), she did it all and came out with much more confidence in how difficult obstacles can be tackled and how truly capable the Bronco is, along with what she can now do. It really helped having a great guide on the radio and myself with more experience in the passenger seat.
Because of this great experience we upped the difficulty on our last day and tackled much harder terrain than we had planned to do in our personal Broncos. Don't hesitate to enroll in the Half-Day Adventure. We ended up getting significantly more driving time and much more challenging terrain than the regular off-roadeo attendees. As far as costs go, it is a bit more ($795 for up to four attendees per vehicle). So for us it was essentially $400 per person for the three couples in three separate Broncos which could obviously be lowered if people don't mind back seating it and you put more people in each Bronco, but we did get a private session, more challenging terrain, no down time or waiting on bigger groups, and excellent advice on trails to run the next day in our own Broncos after the session was over. Overall a better experience but at a greater cost.
