Terra Overland - Virginia's Off-Road Overland Adventure Tours

			Fantastic way to spend the day This is a must do when you visit Massanutten.  There were three adults and two teenagers so we had two jeeps.  Dawn and Shawn were great; and they even worked with us when I mistakenly booked the wrong day. They made it work anyway!! Can't thank them enough for that.  Experiencing the off-road part was fun but it was just as fun being outside on a beautiful day in the national park.  The views were amazing!  Throughout the day, Dawn and Shawn were very personable and shared many things about the area and overlanding.No matter whether you have kids or your a group of adults, this is a must do activity.		 - 5/01/2022

			My Adventure with Shawn at Massanutten, VA Shawn picked us up promptly at our condo as we stood in shock at how big the jeep was.  He told the boys-ages 6 + 11, that the tires were 36" high, almost taller than the 6 yr. old. We took a picture of a clean jeep and away we went.  Right from the start Shawn was able to make a connection with each of the boys on their level.  They were so excited to go out on our way and had tons of questions and Shawn eagerly answered each one.  He even found time between the questions to give us some fun facts about the areas that we were driving into.  As we got to the beginning of the trail, Shawn gave us our safety talk and then went to tell us how he had to take air out of the tires and change... read moreShawn picked us up promptly at our condo as we stood in shock at how big the jeep was.

As we got to the beginning of the trail, Shawn gave us our safety talk and then went to tell us how he had to take air out of the tires and change over the suspension.  The boys jumped in and the 3 of them got the jeep ready for our adventure.  As we started out, Shawn showed them how to open/close the windows and asked if they wanted to open the moon roof.  They jumped at the idea until we went through the first clear water puddle, and they saw how much it splashed all over the jeep.  By the time we got to the mud puddles, the boys were having so much fun that the one time they forgot to put up the window and my sister and I got some mud on us.  Well, that was just the funniest thing they ever saw and then we decided to change seats and they made sure the windows were closed at every mud puddle.  The laughs and giggles that came out of the boys and the knowledge and friendliness of Shawn made this trip to remember and talk about for years to come.  If you have a chance to go out on any of the tours-GO!  you'll have a great time.  You can drive yourself - with Shawn in the passenger seat to guide you along the trail or you can sit back and let him do all the driving and enjoy the view of the mountains, valley and watch out for all the wild animals that you may see on the trip.  The boys actually found a baby bear paw print in the fresh mud when it was time to put the air back into the tires and put suspension back into street mode to go back down the mountain and back civilization.  Great time!  Will do again next time we are back in the area. read less		 - 4/17/2022

We had the pleasure of taking Bravo One on her maiden Overland...a well maintained rig with two of the best guides you could ask for.

			Best off road adventure ever!!! Wow being from the city I wasn’t sure off roading was for me but maaaan it was a hoot! Our driver Shawn even asked if I wanted to take the wheel but I figured it best to leave it to the pro! Such an amazing time with phenomenal views!! Going over huge rocks and over streams, it was an adventure for sure!!! I Would have never made out to a spot like this on my own but now I know how at least!! Great family day and even incorporated son team working skills!!  If you need a little adventure or just a family day at 4000 ft above the rest of the world terraoverland is the company to use!!! Thanks for a one of a kind experience guys!!!		 - 2/12/2022

			Amazing Day Off-Roading in Shenandoah Terra Overland far exceeded our expectations!  We have been looking for something like this for a very long time and couldn't believe someone finally made it a business here in Virginia, just a few hours away.  We live in the Tidewater area, so the potential for damaging our daily driver 4X4 on an obstacle, or even a simple mechanical issue and not being able to get home was always in the back of our minds, particularly in an area we are unfamiliar with.   From novice to expert, it doesn't matter though.  If this is the first time you have driven off-road or you have been doing it forever, this is for anyone of any skill level.  They provide easy to drive, highly capable jeeps you wish you could afford to build yourself with all the mods/gear/equipment that can handle any terrain, including winch/tent/fridge/onboard air... read moreTerra Overland far exceeded our expectations!

They provide easy to drive, highly capable jeeps you wish you could afford to build yourself with all the mods/gear/equipment that can handle any terrain, including winch/tent/fridge/onboard air compressor/trail map on a tablet/radios to name just a few.  You're not limited to just the 2 routes on the website either...they are just start points.  They offer tailored plans/routes depending on where you want to go and what you want to accomplish, whether for the day or overnight. You can have a highly experienced guide the first time or two, or go by yourselves.  It will NEVER be the same experience twice.  We chose to do the Flagpole to Reddish Knob trip with Shawn. It is somewhere I've always wanted to try, but was unsure if I could make it in my 2020 F-150 after watching some of the YouTube videos.  Thank goodness we got to explore it with Terra Overland as my truck's width long wheelbase would have gotten me in some uncomfortable situations not to mention pinstriped it.  Alpha One (Jeep) was incredible and there was nothing there that it could not handle.  It was a beast and yet so easy to drive!  Shawn was a great guide/instructor and a great person to learn from with amazing patience. He ensured we got the most of out our day and we had many opportunities to challenge ourselves with various obstacles on different trails/conditions. There were few other drivers on the trails when we went just before an approaching snowstorm, so we had time to to do other trails as well.  Shawn was always happy to let us find the limits we were comfortable with and ensured we got the most of out of our day.  We now know we can get on the trails and do some serious off-roading without all the expense of buying/building our own rig.  We will definitely be back to do other trails in area with Terra before the word gets out. read less		 - 1/18/2022

			Terra Overland... BEST adventure ever! This was an Extraordinary experience driving this super outfitted jeep through the steep mountain trails, streams and major mud holes to the summit at Reddish Knob for a spectacular view! My husband and I have been married for 50 years and this was one of the most memorable vacation experiences of all time. It challenged us to do things we never did before... and gain tremendous confidence in our accomplishment. Shawn, our guide and owner, shared all of his knowledge and skills to create a comfortable experience... he's a patient and smart teacher. He wants everyone to have a safe and FUN time.… and we did!		 - 5/30/2022

			Amazing experience packed into a Jeep! Would 1000% do this again! Shawn and Dawn made this an amazing first overlanding / off-roading experience. They’re a wonderful team that has every step of the way thought through. It felt more than just seamless, we never had to worry about a thing (besides potentially running into a bear). And the jeep is just the coolest thing, especially once you hit gravel and put it in spider monkey mode. They’re a relatively new company so if you’re at all hesitating booking because of that, I can assure you it’s legit and will be worth every penny! Looking forward to my next trip with Terra Overland!		 - 7/01/2022

			TERRA OVERLAND: A Must Stop Destination Shawn & Dawn were great.  We’ve been to Massanutten Resort for about 4 years & were looking for something different to do.  Found Terra Overland & it was totally worth it.  My 7 year old son had a blast he loves Jeepin as did my wife & I.  I highly recommend this experience.  Shawn is passionate with the lifestyle of Overlanding & Jeepin & it doesn’t just end with the adventure.   Next year I may bring out my trail Jeep & we may hit up some trails.  Little did we realize there is a huge Jeep community & trails all around the Massanutten area.  We also can’t wait to see when the property is finished.  It’s great when your job isn’t just a job, but a passion.  It really puts things on a whole other level.		 - 7/01/2022

			Camping makes the adventure Twice as much fun! Camping turns the off-road experience into the ultimate adventure! Sleeping in the roof top tent on Alfa One was so cool!! We had twice as much fun on the trip by camping overnight at a campsite with a phenomenal view of the valley below. Alfa One is stocked for camping! Shawn and Dawn make sure you are comfortable and safe before you set out on your adventure, but the one thing we were not prepared for was the adrenaline rush and excitement! The kids are completely hooked- we will be making these trips part of our family tradition for years to come!		 - 4/03/2022

			Worth the trip from the UK just for this activity. Incredible experience and awesome team. This is one of my top three experiences in the past ten years and is something I will always remember with a smile. Shawn and Dave were our guides for the day and made us feel welcome and included right from the start. They gave us an exceptionally thorough intro to features and safety features of the vehicles and made sure we were confident with the basics before we went any further.

This is something truly spectacular to see from the winding roads as you drive up, expertly guided by Shawn and Dave every bit of the way.We were able to do several obstacles on our tour, guiding each other across. It was a challenge whilst being fun and a lovely shared experience. If you’re lucky, you might get to drive through sone pretty deep puddles - they are awesome fun! We stopped for some food and enjoyed the view and chats with Shawn and Dave and then we’re off again to reach the top of the trail for the day.The time absolutely flew by and we both agreed that it was one of the best experiences both of us have ever had - and we’ve been fortunate to do a lot of awesome things, my friends, so the bar is set pretty darn high.Shawn and Dawn (also a team member) truly went above and beyond in the preparation for our visit, recommending places to visit on our drive from Washington DC - which were all spot on and very much appreciated - and really making the effort to learn about us and what kind of experience we were looking for. Words cannot do this experience justice - you need to get out there, get in that driver’s seat and experience it for yourself. We’ll definitely be back for another experience with Terra Overland. The story of the business is one that makes you glad you booked and reminds you what’s important in life - I’ll leave that for Shawn to share when you meet him. All employees are currently co-owners of the business and your booking really is helping to build an incredible company.

			Great Day Adventure! My fiancé loves Jeeps, but since we live in the city we don't have much experience driving off-road. Shawn was an excellent guide for our day excursion to Union Springs Trail. We had a blast, learned a lot about driving off-road, and enjoyed hearing about the area. Shawn was a patient teacher - giving my fiancé tips for driving, showing us how to pick good lines for obstacles, and encouraging me to take the lead on guiding the Jeep through the rougher terrain. Shawn even spent extra time with us beyond the 6 hours - our stops were relaxing and gave us a chance to take in the scenery. This was the highlight of our trip! We are interested in coming back for a longer camping adventure!		 - 5/30/2023

			Memories to Treasure This trip was an absolute blast!  Terra Overland has its act together in every respect.  Shaun and Dawn are very personable and responsive to every customer need.  They do the planning and the work, and you do the enjoying.  We had a family group of 8 including 5 kids aged 8 to 13.  We all loved it.  I think Shaun and Dawn enjoyed the squeals of joy from the kids (and the adults) as much as we did.  Getting muddy along with the jeeps is the quintessential off-roading takeaway.  EMBRACE THE SPLATTERS!  Going when the forest is wet only enhances the fun.  You will remember and recount this adventure for years.  Just do it!		 - 6/12/2023

			YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS UNIQUE ADVENTURE!!! Don't pass on this amazing opportunity!  My wife and I are return clients and recently experienced another awesome adventure with Shawn, trekking through GW National Forest in the most capable Jeep I have ever driven!!!  We elected to do a more tailored experience this time building on my previously acquired skills of rock crawling and more technical trail riding. Shawn really elevated my off-road confidence and proficiency. Our last encounter was in Winter and it was entirely different this time being that is was Summer. It will never the same experience twice due to weather, seasons, trail conditions etc. This adventure is for EVERYONE...beginners, intermediate, or advanced off-roaders! If your friends have a Jeep, and you'd like to join them without all the expense and maintenance costs, then this is for you.

If you want a highly experienced guide/trainer/scout teach you the off-road ropes and the trails in the area, then this is for you...If you just want to go on your own and camp/explore overnight and find your own paths, then this is for you. These jeeps have EVERYTHING you could possibly need...even a refrigerator!!! We'll be back again as soon as we get more vacation time!

			Beyond expectations Definitely, the best part of our vacation! Sean and Dawn are so passionate about what they do and it shows in every aspect of this experience. I can't say enough great things about them and what we experienced. The views were amazing and Sean's knowledge of not only Jeeps, but the world around him and his love of it are so refreshing and encouraging. I have always had a passion for the beauty our world possesses, but Sean makes you see it in a completely different way and it's hard to stay inside knowing all the beauty that awaits you. Dawn was so kind and answered every stupid question I had and incredibly patient. I told Sean she is such a great representation of their company and she felt like a friend without ever meeting her.

			Union Spring Trail drive Fantastic experience!! The entire process was was great! Shawn, Dave, and Dawn did everything they could do to make our day happen for us! I’ve done some off roading before, but this was above and beyond my expectations. Dave, our guide, was really informative and friendly, felt more like I was out wheelin’ with a buddy than a guide. We travelled up the Union Springs trail stopping whenever we wanted for my daughter to take pictures. Stopped and had lunch at one of the campsites, Dave set up the table and a couple super comfy fold up chairs that actually rocked! From there we proceeded to climb the mountain and hit the mud bogs, which was awesome! Almost to the end of the trail, Dave pointed out a rock wall that apparently used to be an Indian/Colonial trading post.

We discovered that it wasn’t on top of the mountain, it was right there behind the wall just off the trail. We found original stairs, a fireplace, a few different walls and construction dating from colonial times to as late as the 1900’s. This was just a magnificent trip, topped off with the scenic view from atop Reddish Knob, which I took my wife back up to for the sunset that evening!!

			Great first hand off road experience OMG this adventure was Awesome. We did the sunset tour. It was a perfect evening. We had a great time on the trail. They really know what they are doing. Shawn was the perfect host!!! He kept us informed, entertained, and provided provided service above and beyond. We all had a great experience. As a matter of fact one week later I bought a Jeep Wrangler so I will be contacting Shawn too arrange some Driving Lessons for off road diving, I can trust his knowledge of how to safely negotiate the outback.

			Top shelf adventure. Don’t miss out on the Fun, Views , and Nature !! “AWESOME” I have no other words that can describe this off road trip we took with Shawn and Dawn. Definitely upgrade so you can wheel one of these unbelievable Jeeps. There knowledge of the Virginia mountain range is incredible and you will get to adventure to areas that you would never see as an average tourist. The views we saw were spectacular and at one point of our adventure on an amazing ridge half the jeep is in Virginia and the other half is in WV. We can’t wait to head out again with TerraOverland possibly to camp for a few days. Thank you TerraOverland for the HIGHLIGHT of our vacation and for the respect you have for the forest.		 - 10/12/2023

			Great time on the mountain top! Planned this tour for my birthday with my brother and his wife. While the weather was not great, the trip was. We had a fantastic time, enjoyed Shawn's knowledge about overlanding, the Shenandoah Valley and Jeeps! All three of us had a ball, and I'm already planning a spring trip to go birding. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend touring with them, you won't regret it!		 - 10/22/2023

What we found was a life changing experience rife with the understanding that there is so much more in life! The views were breathtaking, and as a Virginia resident I realized there is so much more in this amazing state. Shawn was a wealth of knowledge, talented behind the wheel, and inspiring in his love of the business and conservation of nature! Dawn was so awesome to speak with and answered every question I had about booking! I would highly recommend Terra Overland and all of their adventure packages to everyone I know!

			Excellent Jeep Instruction & Adventure Our late November trip with Terra Overland exceeded our expectations. We were looking for something fun to do with our two adult sons(both Jeep drivers), and that would be memorable, adventurous, and open up a new family activity. Sean and Dawn were outstanding - outgoing, patient, instructive, and encouraging, Equipment is top-notch, safety pre-brief and initial guidance helped get everyone oriented, and conversations along the way helped us understand the "why" and the "how" of successful overlanding. Absolutely worth the cost for the experience, and learning on a well equipped vehicle. We drove in from Fairfax County that morning, spent 5 hours on the trail, and headed home. Everyone was tired and happy. Recommend without hesitation!		 - 11/27/2023
