      Anniversary Sunset Excursion
      Sean and Dawn were wonderful in getting our evening set up. We were having car trouble and Sean coordinated with us so we could meet for a pick up. It was a lovely evening complete with our picnic dinner, sunset and stargazing…we even witnessed Starlink coming across the sky! It was a great adventure!!

      Effortless Camping
      This was an experience of a lifetime. Effortless camping. Dawn and Shawn were so nice and helpful. It was a true get away. They help you organize a trip that will be optimized just for your want's and needs. The equipment is top notch and nothing is overlooked. Terra Overland's well thought out rig has all the comforts you need and want while getting to get out on the trail. A true escape.

      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.

      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!

      Unbelievable awesome fun! Loved learning history, being in a beautiful forest, and talking local info. Incredible guides! Gorgeous views! A unique and valuable experience. The kids were absolutely thrilled. Way beyond my expectations. Wonderful memory with my kids. Well worth it! Definitely want to do it again. Next time I’m driving and we are camping!

      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!

      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!

    From beginning to end this road trip is phenomenal! For the adventurer this is an Absolute must!! Before our road trip started a full safety meeting to include emergency situations and vehicle functions. The driver was very professional ,very courteous and very knowledgeable not only for the off road experience but also the surrounding area to include national forests … etc.

    Thank you very much for having us can’t wait to do it again!!!

    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!

    Thank you for celebrating your birthday with us at Terra Overland! We're thrilled that despite the weather, you had a fantastic time exploring the Shenandoah Valley with Shawn and our trusty Jeeps. It's wonderful to hear that Shawn's knowledge added an extra layer of enjoyment to your adventure. We're delighted that all three of you had a ball! A spring trip for birding sounds like a fantastic plan, and we'd love to be part of that upcoming adventure. Your recommendation means the world to us! We can't wait to welcome you back for more exciting experiences amidst the beauty of nature.

    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.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're beyond thrilled to hear that your time with us become the highlight of your vacation. Shawn and Dawn, like all of our guides, are indeed incredibly passionate about what they do, and your words affirm the heart and dedication put into every trip. We are fortunate to have such a great team. We wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment about Shawn's knack for making the world come alive in a whole new way. We believe that exploration and discovery are not only about seeing new places but also about gaining new perspectives. We're equally delighted to hear about your interactions with Dawn. Her kindness, patience, and in-depth knowledge are just a few of the things that make her a fantastic guide. She'll be elated to hear that she felt like a friend to you even without a face-to-face meeting. The breakthrough experience for the family member of your group who was initially apprehensive about the trip, plus the enjoyment of your boys, makes us incredibly proud. It's moments like these that make all our hard work truly rewarding. We're so pleased that our shared knowledge will continue to accompany you and the young ones on your future adventures. We hope the memories of this excursion continue to inspire your curiosity and passion. We look forward to welcoming you back to Virginia, just call when you get into town. Until then, safe travels and keep exploring!

    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!

    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.

    Truly a lifetime adventure. Every year my adult sons and I take a week to re-bond. Well, this was our best – a week of exciting off-roading and camping. Off-roading is great but what made it unusual was Shawn’s knowledge of the area and his ability to find trails that have not been driven in years. This was not the standard tourist trip – this was a unique experience! Camping with Shawn and Dawn for 5 nights was spectacular – what a pleasure to be with them. I won’t forget cooking around the ‘skottle’ or how well we all slept in the Jeep roof top tents. Many thanks to Shawn and Dawn!

    Thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming review with the TripAdvisor community. It was genuinely a joy to guide you and your sons through this adventure! We're ecstatic to hear that our journey together became a highlight in your yearly bonding trips. Exploring those less-traveled trails and rediscovering hidden gems in the area is always thrilling for us. Sharing those experiences with others, especially passionate adventurers like you, makes it all the more special. It was delightful getting to know all of you better. The stories and laughter we shared will be cherished memories of ours forever. We truly believe in offering more than just a standard tourist trip, and we're excited to have delivered a unique experience for you. Warm wishes and safe travels Dawn & Shawn

    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!

    Day trip from Wintergreen with our 6 and 8 year olds. The kids were nervous at first about Dad's lack of experience driving off-road, but everyone had a ball! Shawn was a terrific guide -- full of insight about the vehicle, the region, the terrain... Highly recommend!

    Went on this amazing journey with my daughter to obtain clarity, peace, and enjoy the beauty of nature. 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! If you get the opportunity to go on just one of these life changing adventures, take it! After a single outting you will find yourself coming back again and again, as I know that I will! Thank you Dawn, Shawn, and the Terra Overland company for giving us a sense of adventure, clarity, and renewed sense of purpose! You have life long customers here! Thank you!
