Nestled six miles southeast of The Wave and Coyote Buttes, White Pocket stands as a "Mars-like" spectacle spread across a compact one square mile. A treasure trove within the immense Vermilion Cliffs National Monument of far Northern Arizona, White Pocket is a marvel of geological wonder.
Unlike its surrounding counterparts, which boast vibrant red hues, White Pocket is noted for its unmistakable light gray and white palette. Swirling patterns dance across thin layered strata, a feature that makes this location a visual feast for the eyes. The sandy plains here are dotted with modest vegetation, offering a stark yet harmonious contrast to the area’s unique erosive rock formations.

My wife and I went on 9-12 hour private tour of Great Chamber and White Pocket with tour guide Aaron. It was a time and money well spent. The roads to both of these attractions are pretty rough and sandy and you risk getting stuck or at least a lot of wear and tear on your suspension. I was happy to hire Coral Cliffs to not have to worry about taking a wrong turn or having a breakdown. Aaron was a great guide with knowledge on how to get to these places, how they were formed, and photography. Aaron asked multiple times while we were hiking at White Pocket how we were doing and whether we wanted to hike more challenging spots or not. We would definitely take other tours with this company.

We visited White Pocket with Coral Cliffs Tours. An extraordinary and ethereal experience. Our guide, Aaron, was relaxed, expert and affable. He added greatly to the experience. Julie of Coral Cliffs was wonderfully accommodating as we kept rescheduling due to rain. White Pocket is a must. Amazing scenery and views all the way to Bryce Canyon. Not at all difficult. The cows ranging over the area just added to its surreal quality.

Julie, the owner of this wonderful family business, assisted us like family in arranging multiple tours. She went above and beyond to accommodate our schedules and made our White Pocket, Great Chamber, and Peekaboo Slot Canyon tours truly special. Kenny was our guide for White Pocket, and Jeff guided us through the Great Chamber and Peekaboo Slot Canyon. Both of them were absolutely wonderful—passionate about what they do, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks to them, we were able to see and explore some of the most exceptional places on earth. We are deeply grateful to Julie, Kenny, and Jeff for giving us memories to cherish for a lifetime. We will definitely return to Kanab just to book more tours with Coral Cliffs and these amazing individuals, who always go above and beyond to ensure a safe, memorable, and enriching experience.

Overall from start to finish the trip was amazing. Kenny made the ride to and from so pleasant with fun facts and great conversation. A few stops on the way including Condor sightings. Once we got to White Pocket it was like we were on another planet. One of the most incredible places we have seen. A must do if you are in Kanab. A few people can get there so we had the place almost to ourselves to explore. Kenny did a great job with some unique pics as well. Can’t say enough good things here.

We booked a last-minute off-road tour and it was absolutely amazing. Unforgettable experience for a whole family of non-outdoorsy city folk!
