Jeep Tours From Albuquerque
How it works from Albuquerque
We meet at The Merc, the grocery store in the Homestead Village shopping center in Placitas, about 20 minutes north of Albuquerque on Interstate 25. Take Exit 242, turn east off the ramp and go 2.3 miles. Look for our Jeep in the parking lot. Meeting us there is free.
Would you rather not drive? We will pick your party up at your hotel inside the Albuquerque city limits for $45 per Jeep, or at the Hyatt Tamaya for $25 per Jeep. Hotel pick up does not shorten your tour, but plan on roughly an extra hour of travel across the day.
Every tour is private, just your group and your guide, and runs 3 to 7 hours. Send us a reservation request with the date you want and we will confirm it.
Our Jeep Tours
Southwest Safari Jeep Tour
New Mexico Jeep Tours has exclusive access to a beautiful 20,000 acre private ranch between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The Southwest Safari tour is your grand introduction to the property as we show you Ancestral Puebloan ruins and petroglyphs, sea life fossils, painted hills, beautiful southwestern vistas, and the ranch's movie set. We see wild horses wandering the beautiful southwestern landscape on almost every tour, so keep your cameras ready!
Tours are personal and private — only your group — and we can customize them to the needs of your party. Your guide drives and provides water and snacks. We meet at The Merc in Placitas for free, or we can pick you up wherever you're staying in Albuquerque or at the Hyatt Tamaya for a small fee. Walking is optional: for those wishing only to ride, we can take you to some amazing places without ever setting foot outside the Jeep. Full rates are on our pricing page.
Ghost Town Jeep Tour
Experience everything on the Southwest Safari tour and then visit a coal mining ghost town that you can only see with New Mexico Jeep Tours! The Ghost Town tour takes you to the site of the largest adobe structure in NM in its day and to the location of a short but booming coal mining operation. You will also see a dinosaur fossil from the Cretaceous period and the ranch’s movie set.
The Ghost Town tour includes what you see on the Southwest Safari tour: Puebloan ruins and petroglyphs, sea-life fossils, and painted deserts, but adds the ghost town of Hagan and a couple of side stops along the way.
Tours are personal and private — only your group — and we plan them with you once you reserve. This one suits anyone who would rather read a place than a plaque. Full rates are on our pricing page.
Petroglyphs Hike Jeep Tour
In addition to seeing all the Southwest Safari tour has to offer, hike to an amazing site to see the stories of the ancients etched in stone! The Ancestral Puebloan people left over 2,000 petroglyphs on the 20,000 acre, private ranch where we do our tours. These ancient pictures and symbols are glimpses into the life, history and religion of the Puebloan culture. We invite you to join us as we explore these sacred sites.
The Petroglyphs tour includes a short but steep hike over rocky terrain. Please consider hiking ability before booking this tour.
Tours are personal and private, so we can customize them for your group.
