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.

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. I would go back to Virginia just to see them. It's important to note that we had a person with us that's very fearful of highway driving and was really concerned about this excursion. Dawn really calmed her nerves and she had the best time. Even wanted to sit in the front seat at one point, which is a huge breakthrough. We also had two teenage boys with us that really enjoyed the experience as well. In addition, the knowledge that Sean shared with us I'm sure they will carry with them forever.

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. He said there was remnants of the original foundation at the top of the mountain, so I asked if we could go explore it. He was ecstatic that we wanted to, lol! 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!! Can’t say enough good things about Dave, Shawn, and Dawn who make up Terra Overland!! Thank you guys!!

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 have a personal 4WD that you are unsure if it will make the local trails then this is a great way to check things out before potentially risking scratches or bumps to your daily driver (I have had F-150 4WDs for over 20 years and was always concerned about damaging my primary vehicle, so this is a perfect situation for us). 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! Thanks again Shawn and Dawn for another great time...and the cupcakes 🙂

Family adventure Fun experience. Our teen boys were all smiles. Shawn was a great guide, chef, and local historian. Totally recommend this adventure.

Best day ever! Best day of our vacation! They did a fantastic job of crafting a day of fun and teaching us how to overland. Highly recommend them! It would be even more fun to come back and go camping with them!

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!

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!

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. We started with some driving around base camp, getting to grips with the vehicles and doing some team work exercises to guide over obstacles. We stopped off at the local co-op to pick up some supplies for lunch and one of our party delighted in the co-op and finding a new cap as a memory of his trip as much as anything else! Then, it was off to the mountains to explore and have a truly awesome off-road driving experience, in every sense of the word. The surroundings are exceptionally beautiful. 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. Thank you Shawn, Dawn, and Dave, you gave us a truly incredible experience that we’ll remember forever. PS - Get Alpha if you can 😉

Greatest time ever! The greatest time ever!! It was a blast - I highly recommend doing this adventure. I have never done anything like this, and Don & Shawn are so knowledgeable and passionate. It felt exciting and got our adrenaline going, but without feeling unsafe at any point! Would recommend to anyone!
