A MUST DO sunset hike!

5.00We had a wonderful sunset hike into the canyon with our guide Kevin. He was so knowledgeable about the geology and different layers of the canyon, maintaining a great pace while offering up info about the wildlife we observed. Our 13-year old absolutely adored this hike too, thanks to Kevin’s positive energy and enthusiasm. We were well equipped with plentiful water & snacks, and hiking poles and backpack. Our dinner deep in the canyon was delicious too!

5.00We had a wonderful hike down into the canyon with the best guide - Kevin - who was patient, knowledgeable and motivating! Fun facts, plentiful snacks & water, and a delicious dinner before we trekked back up to our home base several hours later. Our 13-yr old son said it was his favorite hike ever, thanks to Kevin and his expertise and positive energy!
Awesome day in the Grand Canton!

5.00The Sunset Hiking Adventure was the perfect way to make the most of our one day experience in the Grand Canyon. Our guide, Cristy, gave us an unforgettable adventure. There is something truly magical about watching the sunset and climbing out of the canyon under the night sky. Every encounter with this company was top-notch. They are so thoughtful and attentive to individual needs to ensure a perfect experience. Our snack bags were loaded with quality selections customized for our group's varied dietary needs, our "lunch with a view" was terrific, and Cristy was continually ready and willing to make hike accommodations for any limitations. 100% recommend this trip. The experience + service you get with Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes is well worth it.

5.00An amazing experience. Everything you need is provided for you, backpacks, hiking poles, water and food. All you have to do is show up. Christy was a tremendous guide and especially wonderful with our 9 year old daughter. She was extremely knowledgeable about the canyon and tailored the hike to how far we wanted to go. We had some great views and even saw a bighorn sheep. This was the highlight of our weeklong trip and a lifelong memory for our family. Would highly recommend to anyone.
We had a fantastic time...

5.00We booked a sunset tour and we were so glad we did. Our guide, Christy, had a genuine love of the canyon, a heartfelt desire to make sure our experience was unforgettable and the knowledge to make it happen. She sprinkled interesting facts in along with personal knowledge of the best places for photos and tips to make the ascent feel like we were pros…and the dinner? It was spectacular! I can’t thank Christy enough for all she did to make our excursion unforgettable! I would highly recommend this tour. Again and again.
Just do it!

5.00Awesome first time experience for family of four with teenagers. Kevin was awesome, informative, and entertaining. He brought cupcakes and candle to celebrate our 14 year olds birthday. If you are hesitating, don’t! Will be everything you need for a superb bucket list experience!
Unforgettable. Stunning landscapes. Great guide, with deep knowledge of the region.

5.00Don't go on your own. Hire a guide who knows the area. The walk requires good physical preparation, but it is well worth it.
