- 948zackl00Sweet ride and sunsetLoved the jeep ride and the tour guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. They also provide chairs, chips, and water. Great for kids.
- victoriar70200Top of the World AdventureSuch a fun trip. Theresa was our guide she was so knowledgeable and great with our 6 y/o grandson. Views were incredible. Our grandson loved the off-roading adventure. Great memories!
- Marcelo B00Great rides but with overlapsMy two 11 year old kids and I enrolled in 4 different adventures. They have all been very good and the guides are nice and knowledgeable. However, we ended up finding out that the Crimson Canyon Hike & UTV and the Red Rock Slot Canyon are exactly the same. Our guide for the second, Brian, then suggested a different spot, which was great. But then the following ride, the White Mountain Horseback Ride, went exactly to the same place. Believe the exact locations should be clear at the website and/or the reps at the hotel desk could also warn us about that.
- Trever B00Beautiful, bouncy family fun!!First timers to Zion visiting from PNW. East rim Jeep tour was great for our 4 kids (ages 17 down to 6 yo). Views of Checkerboard Mesa and Jolly’s Gulch were amazing. Our tour guide Mike L. gave us a fantastic tour. Thanks for his service and professional jeep driving skills. Kids were smiling and laughing as we bounced our way around East Zion. Will definitely come back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the 1/2 day trip! Great ride on the UTV, a well-paced 20-30 minute hike (with breaks/funfact presentations) and spot-on instruction for the three rapels into and through the Elkheart slot canyon.
We're a couple, 65 and 67 years old, in good shape, but with no experience rappelling and we loved it! It was great!
The instruction and support provided by Dan and Dustin, the tour guides, were outstanding. Their friendly manner, clear instructions, patient approach and overall respect for the needs of each participant was so pleasant to observe and receive. I think everyone had a great day because these guys were great. Oh yeah, and the canyon was a thrill to see and experience!

So much fun! I was nervous but our guide Marilyn had such a calm demeanor that it helped calm my nerves. I’d love to do it again! I do wish they had provided gloves. But other than that, it was incredible! The rappelling was def a HIT with me and my teen boys.

hanna and sam were the best guides ever, literally just pure joy with them. they both are filled with fun and you can so tell that they enjoy their job. the utv ride was so fun and it was just honestly an experience where you feel so alive. since it was our first time canyoneering it was definitely nerve racking though they made it so much less nerve racking, the encouragement they give helps like crazy. they make it enjoyable and funny along the way, but also both sam and hanna know so much about plants it was really cool to learn about them on the hike up. you definitely feel like you're their friends when you meet them. they're also both really easy to trust and can tell that they care about you and your experience. it's truly an amazing experience and so enjoyable with them both. much love and thanks to them both :))

What an amazing experience!!! This was definitely a highlight of our trip. The UTV ride was adventurous and fun. The hike was challenging, but doable. The rappelling made us feel like we could conquer the world! Our guides, Dawson and Nathan, were exceptional. They were especially patient as we had a very nervous 9 year old with us and a very nervous 65 year old. They were AWESOME and helped us all get through all the repels while having TON of fun. Beautiful canyon!!

Our guide, Nathan, was awesome! Not only a great UTV driver and canyoneering guide, but he was sure to point out different mountains, vegetation, and rock features along the way. He was great with safety and made everyone feel comfortable with the adventure. Would love to go again!

Micah was the perfect guide for our first canyoneering experience! He took every opportunity to make us laugh and teach us about the area. We learned a lot about the land around us, and he was very personable. He offered to take photos throughout our tour and did a wonderful job. He made each of us feel very safe and comfortable while repelling and hiking through the canyon. Hoping to return some day and book another adventure with Micah!

My tour guides were Macey and Dawson, and they were awesome! This was my first time going canyoneering, and they made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable with the experience. They were funny, engaging, and informative to the entire group. Elkhart canyon itself was absolutely beautiful. Our group had a mixture of people that had gone canyoneering and people that had never been before. No matter the experience, everyone seemed to have a great time! I would definitely recommend Elkhart canyoneering to anyone. We completed it in 4 hours, so it's perfect for those that are on the fence with their physical ability/ bravery to do the rappelling. You need to do this tour!

Brayden and Amber expertly guided the hubs and I through three challenging rappelling descents through the slot canyons. I was so afraid at first but Brayden gave me all the verbal cues to rapell 80 feet down a sheet rock face. Highly recommend!

Dan Swarr was a fantastic guide, funny, informative, and a good teacher. The views were beautiful, both in that canyon and outside of it. We enjoyed the small group experience and everyone was so kind. I would not recommend it to someone afraid of heights, but if you're not, I would highly recommend this experience. It was so much fun and everyone on my tour really loved it.

This tour was absolutely incredible. I had never been repelling before and wanted to try, so I booked this tour for my birthday. I was a bit nervous about the weather, but even with the snow it was a blast. It was just me, my husbands, and our guide which made it extra special. Our guide, Dan, was fantastic. He knew the land well and taught us about the landscape as we hiked which I found fascinating.
When we got to our first repel, it was an eighty-foot drop. Never doing this before, I did get nervous. But after I was harnessed up and taught what to do, my fear fled. I loved how in control I had in the descent! I had no problem going down and relished every second of it. After we all descended, we went through a slot canyon that was beyond words. I teared up a few times (I love nature and had always wanted to hike through a slot canyon, so it was a dream for true). I tried to soak up every second of it and burn it into my memory, never wanting to forget. Repelling through the slot canyon was so fun, I was sad when we got to our last repel. On the last one, the walls were icy. But I wasn’t afraid, I trusted Dan to keep us safe, and he did. He knew exactly what to do to make sure the anchors were secure even in the icy conditions. At the bottom of the repel, there was an icy puddle that we had no choice but to walk through. It was cold, but made the whole thing more adventurous! And it made us feel tough haha.
I was so moved my this tour, I cannot wait to do another with East Zion Adventures! When we got back home, I made my birthday cake inspired by my trip. I put a slot canyon in my cake with a Lego mini fig repelling representing Dan! (On the top of the cake represented Angel’s Landing which my husband and I hiked the day before, another incredible experience).
10/10 would recommend. Thank you East Zion Adventures and Dan for this enchanting canyoneering tour!

I am trying to book a trip on April 18th and it shows available on calendar, but when I try and reserve it’s greyed out. Do you have availability for 4 people on this day?
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
