Great tour (bring a lot of bug spray)

This was a great rapell tour. MUST HAVES... a ton of bug spray and a SMALL dry bag to carry the bug spray and your water. We were told not to take our dry bag (they didn't know it was a small one) and had no good way to carry our gear, water (they ran out of water slings), and our bug spray, so we left the bug spray in the car. YOU NEED BUG SPRAY repeatedly as you get in and out of water. The hike requires some fitness (and free hands). It was a great tour. Emilio and Kevin were great guides. I think telling/reminding rapellers to keep their feet at the level of their butt and legs even with each other would have helped a lot of people trying to walk down the face of the rocks vertically (and always a good reminder for me too). Truly a great tour! The falls were so cool. So was the swimming hole and view. Again, don't even get out of your vehicle to pay the park fee without putting on bug spray on exposed skin!!
amazing, fun adventure

We rappelled Antelope Falls & had a great time. They were always looking out for our safety, so we never had any problems. Highlight of the trip was swimming at the pool at the top. Bring your swimsuit & bug spray.
Not worth the money (smaller waterfall)

Great staff, but the description of the activity itself on their website was misleading. The waterfall was not straight down and took less than 5 minutes to actually complete. Loved the experience of chilling at the bottom of the waterfall and loved our guides and felt very safe. But the activity itself was not worth $70+ at all. Like I said, friendly staff and safe overall. But if you're into arenaline rushes and want to get your money worth, do the taller waterfall. This one honestly shouldn't be advertised at all in my opinion.
