5.00Highly recommend Jose and this activity. He was super patient, easy to talk to and geared the trip toward our capabilities. I couldn't imagine being comfortable rapelling into the canyon but he made it easy and we always felt safe. I highly recommend. PS depending on your fitness level you may be sore after 🙃
Best adventure ever!

5.00This was an amazing adventure! Makesure you are in pretty good health with some endurance and min fear of heights. We had to jump into cold black water caves and repel into canyons. Climb over Boulders and under cliffs but had so much fun. Our guide was professional, and we felt very safe. We also crawled into bed afterward and never wanted to leave. If your fit and can climb and hike..DO THIS TOUR.
Our First, but won't be our last Canyoneering Adventure!

5.00This was an amazing adventure from start to finish. I did this trip with my wife and 15 year old daughter. Our guide was Jose, who we communicated with beforehand, and he prepared us by telling us what to wear, where to meet him, and provided us with lunch options. We met Jose at the tour office and drove with him to the canyon, which was about 2 hours away. Conversations were great and we felt safe driving with him. We each received our own waterproof backpack with our gear and supplies for the day. Once we got to the site, we prepared, and then began walking/hiking in. About 1/2 mile in we stopped to really gear up (harness, helmet, gloves, etc. The hike started right away with jumping into the water and we were off through the canyon. The next several hours of hiking we were up and down lots of good sized boulders, slid down rocks, were in/out of the water, had some jumps into the water, had some drops we could choose to jump or rapel, and then had some spots where we could only rapel. We stopped and ate our lunch after a big rapel. Once we were finished, we cleaned up and then headed back to Scottsdale. This experience was EPIC and we would love to canyoneer again, and we wouldn't hesitate to use or recommen Jose. He is very experienced, and we always felt safe. If we get back to the area, we will definitely call him to do this again!
Highly Recommend Epic Adventures for Canyoneering!

5.00My daughter and I booked this canyoneering adventure to break up a long road trip, and we found the perfect company with which to go canyoneering. Neither of us had done anything like this before. I have a healthy fear of heights, but I agreed to do it because of my daughter wanting to try it so badly. Jose of Epic Adventures was the perfect tour guide! Originally, we wanted to do the Jug, but Jose advised us that there was no running water. However, that was another equally fun canyon that we could do. It is good to go with someone who knows the area! We would not have known this. Also, you can't really do canyoneering on your own without the proper equipment and knowledge. If you want to do it right (and not die), I highly recommend Jose at Epic Adventures. He knew I was afraid of heights, but I did not look down, and he made me feel comfortable. He knows the ropes, literally! He has all the right equipment, including wetsuits, helmets, gloves, and of course the ropes, etc. for repelling. It is a little strenuous, but my 50-something body handled it fine. This was such a fun adventure, both my daughter and I would do it again!
Amazing experience!

5.00Our Canyoneering trip was amazing! We had so much fun! Jose was such a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, patient, and fun. He challenged us, showed us beautiful views and was very supportive and prioritized safety. I was nervous about repelling but he explained things so well and his expertise was obvious that I had full confidence in him. It wound up being my favorite part of the trip! We went on a girls trip but I would love to bring my family back some day. I would definitely recommend Epic adventures for a fun, empowering experience.

5.00I am afraid of heights, but our repelling guide was experienced and confident and taught us how to be safe while dangling on a the end of a rope dozens of feet above the ground. It was actually quite relaxing once I got over my fear of death.
