5.00Had a great first time experience canyoneering with Dylan! He was a great teacher for us who had never been canyoneering before. He explained everything well and was very patient- especially with me who is afraid of heights and uncertain about the whole experience! In the end we all had a great time and were very proud of our accomplishment all thanks to Dylan!
Must do in Zion

5.00We came all the way from Vegas to experience Zion without a big crowd and it was totally worth it. Our guide Kelsey was amazing. He has good jokes, fun driver and experienced with Canyoning. I really recommend doing this activity and if you're lucky, do it with Kelsey :)
Great experience for whole family

5.00We had an amazing experience. Kelsey made us all feel safe and confident. Our kids (ages 10 & 12) enjoyed trading jokes with him and he helped turn our heights-fearing child into a budding canyoneer.
Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend!

5.00We had a fantastic experience!! Kelsey was amazing and such fun. Felt safe and in great hands (and knots) the whole time. The canyons are spectacular and the UTV ride eased all my neck tensions!! Thanks Kelsey and East Zion team.

5.00This excursion was probably our favorite thing we did in Utah. We had a family with 4 adults and 5 kids (8-13 yo) and everyone loved it. Our guides were Dylan and Jon and from the very beginning they were informative and patient and made the experience even better. The UTV ride to and from the canyons was so much fun and we got a lot of great info from Dylan and Jon. The rappelling was a blast, even the nervous kids loved it and felt comfortable because our guides were so patient and encouraging. The landscape in the canyon is unlike anywhere else. Highly recommend and would love to come back and do it again sometime.
