    Absolutely incredible. Our tour guide Keziah was so personable and fun, she made sure everyone had what they needed and everyone had fun. She was friendly and outgoing, and we talked a lot about anything and everything! The canyon instead was gorgeous, there are no words to describe it. I am so grateful I got experience this and so grateful for our tour guide. Thank you Keziah 💞

    Totally awesome. I did this with my sister for a 21st birthday activity while out in the area for a school trip. That said, I'm a college student that loves to travel and try new things while also being on a budget and this fit the bill. I'm from the east coast and wanted some sort of "excursion" out in Utah by Zion whether it be a utv/jeep tour or canyoneering, and amazingly this tour had all of that plus hiking while remaining at a low price that from what I saw, was the minimum for just one of those activities with other companies. So, this was definitely worth the price for me, it had a little bit of everything compressed into one ticket at a super good price. My tour was with Nathan and Parker. I believe Parker has been guiding for quite some time whereas Nathan was just a couple months in (with this company at least) but they were both great, experienced, and balanced each other really well. Nathan was really informative with the area and surrounding environment throughout the tour and Parker was super chill and easygoing with some dry humor (also a great photographer :P). My sister and I ended up doing the tour with another family of four who had a young boy probably no older than 8 or 10. He got super anxious when he was halfway down on the first rappel (which was about 80ft) and expressed that he wanted to go back up (which wasn't possible) but Parker and Nathan were great with reassuring and supporting him through the last half and he completed the rest of the tour without much issue. Nathan and Parker were also super accommodating throughout the whole tour, both on the rappelling and on the hike to the canyon which was steep and through sandy terrain. We took plenty of breaks to not overexert anyone, as our group age range was maybe as young as 8 and went up to 45. I'm not a fan of heights but there was no rush from either guys when it came to descending backwards or going down for the rappels. They also had fun on the UTV ride out to the canyons and raced a little bit when able which my sister and I had a blast on. The only thing I would note on the UTV ride is that the terrain is very bumpy and rough, so you will get jostled around but it was nothing to cause discomfort or anything. My sister gets nauseous when it comes to stuff like that but she look preventative meds prior to the tour and had no issues at all on the UTV ride there or back. UTV ride aside, the hike to the canyon had awesome views of the landscape. Nathan did a good job explaining the causes of the different landscape coloration, pointing out Mt. Carmel, and giving us some neat nerdy facts that were really interesting. The rappels themselves were cool, too. The first rappel is the longest at about 80 feet, and then the other two average maybe 20-30 feet each, but each rappel location was different and unique. On the hike and through the canyon there were maybe 2 or 3 steep drop downs where you had to either sit down and hop off, crouch and jump off, or get a helping hand with, but they certainly weren't anything to deter anyone and both Parker and Nathan were more than willing to assist anyone who did need help. Overall, it was a really great experience for my sister and I. It had everything I wanted to do while out near Zion squished into one ticket for a few hours at a super good price (plus tips for the guys), and I got to see a really cool side of Utah that you can't experience from just a couple hikes.

    We loved it! The ATV ride into the area was very fun, followed by a short hike up to the canyon. We did three different rappels in Elkhart Canyon. Our group had beginners and the guide, Carsten, was great, informative, patient, and kept us safe. Carsten taught us about the canyon, about rappelling, and even showed us a few cool fossils.

    My family and I had an amazing time, especially because of our awesome guide, John. This was perfect for our kids and was the perfect experience for them. Elkheart Canyon and Crimson Canyon were beautiful and well worth the price. The tour was two hours long and gave us plenty of time for pictures and time in the canyons, with lots of fun UTV rides between the canyons. It wasn't rushed and we felt it was a highlight of our trip. It wasn't crowded at all and we pretty much had the slot canyons to ourselves. 10/10

    This was such a cool experience. The ride out to the canyon was a thrill, and then suddenly, we were just rappelling down a wall! Brady, our guide was charming and positive, and had great stories and information. The scenery just can't be beat. Definitely do this tour, it's really worth it!

  • A big thank you to Eric and Kelcey our amazing guides

    I had never done rappelling before, but even though the description of the activity said "advanced". I went ahead and signed up with my wife who does have some very basic rappelling experience. A big thank you to both guides Eric and Kelcey, who were both outstanding in teaching us the basics and very reassuring, in guiding me through my first rappell. By the 3rd one, I felt very comfortable with rappelling and could then take in the amazing views of the slot canyon. They had us tied into a secondary safety rope line during each rappell so I felt safe at all times. Both Eric and Kelcey were extremely knowledagable about canyoneering and rappelling, and we learned alot about the geology of the area as well. They both were were very fun which made the whole day a very pleasant experience. I am an assistant scoutmaster and will surely bring my troop back to experience this too. I was very proud of myself for going outside my comfort zone to become comfortable with rappelling , and I would like all my scouts to have that same sense of accomplishment. So glad that we did this. It was rewarding for a scardey cat like me but yet very thrilling for my adventure seeking wife.

    We, couple in our early 50’s, did this tour with Kelsey as our guide. We had a group of 4 with 3 newbies in it. It was an amazing trip. After a short ATV ride to our starting point, we hide to hike up 3 hills to our first repel. Kelsey took his time to explain how everything worked, show us how safe we actually were, and how to control the speed going down. Now, my wife gets nervous when I am too close to a ledge, so needless to say she was very nervous about repelling down into the slot canyons. But Kelsey’s calm and professional demeanor convinced her she would be ok. After the first , and longest one down, the other 3 were way easier on the nerves. The view in the slot canyons is sooo worth it. We did this celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was a memorable adventure for us. Thank you Kelsey for sharing your passion with us.

    This experience is unforgettable! My husband and I both absolutely loved everything about it! Kelsey was our guide and he really made it a perfect day! If we ever come back we will be requesting him for our guide and we highly recommend him for his expertise, knowledge and fun personality. From the UTV to rappelling down into the slot canyons, he made it a really special time and took amzing pucs for us! We were a bit nervous getting started w the rappel but his calm, clear instruction put us at ease and it was amazing. The scenery is spectacular and we can’t say enough about it. Kelsey also went outta his way to get my phone back to me after I left it in the utv. Take this trip, it does not disappoint!!

    Kelsey was an outstanding canyoneering guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and made safety a clear priority throughout the entire experience. What really stood out was how well he connected with our kids—he helped them feel comfortable in new and sometimes challenging situations, all while keeping things fun and engaging. It was the perfect balance of education, adventure, and encouragement. We had such a great experience and would absolutely do it again!
