The entire experience was great. Our guide, Angie, did a superior job. She was informative of the vegetation and the geology. She pointed out various vegetation the was used in the daily lives of the natives. She also elaborated on the geology...how it was formed and what it took to transform it to what we saw.
She gave good advice for photo opportunities and plenty of time to just enjoy the beauty that surrounded us.
A change was made to our tour arrangements and Yermo handled it politely and professionally.
We highly recommend Seeking Treasures. And Angie as a guide.

We did a tour of the wave (Coyote Butte North) and it was amazing! We were lucky enough to win the lottery to the wave and decided to hire a tour guide to get the best experience. I'm very happy that we made this decision because our tour guide Hunter really made this trip memorable. He not only planned our trip well so that we can select the best timing and route, avoid all the crowd and get the best lighting of the canyons. He is very knowledgeable about local geology and biology and he is very talkative. It feels almost like a BBC documentary hiking with him. Highly recommend hiring them if you win the wave lottery. It will make this once-in-a-lifetime tour even more memorable.

Yermo was our guide for The Wave private tour. Our family had an absolute blast. We went there and then return safely solely because of his professional service. None of the other tour companies I contacted (including the usual big names) could provide the trust I expect to endure such difficult hike. His knowledge and planning are simply without peers.

Most importantly, after reading all other raved reviews about Yermo before our trip, he still managed to beat our very high expectations.

Having said that, the hike to The Wave is indeed very strenuous and challenging for average hikers. Unless you are reasonably fit, think twice before considering such trip.

P.S. It is so difficult to win the permit. It is even more difficult to get there. So please make sure you take all the pictures you want through your own views! I kinda obsessed with the "postcard" angle and neglected to get the pictures I want to take.

P.S. Ditch your mobile phone camera please! You will be much better served with point-and-shoot SLR or full digital SLR. Many of our photos came out inferior with iPhone 12, for example, due to lousy digital zoom.

I've hired Yermo to shuttle me and my groups between trailheads at the Paria Canyon several times now. I recommend him to all of my friends who are visiting the area. Without exception, every time I've engaged him, Yermo has gone the extra mile to ensure that me and my group are well-informed, well-equipped, learning things about the area, and getting heaps of joy and laughter from the stories he shares along the way.

What's more, Yermo not only gets us safe to our starting point, but he makes sure that we finish our adventure safely. On my most recent trip my group was in the Paria Canyon during a flash flood. When we got out (all safe and sound) Yermo was in touch to make sure that we were all okay.

You're in good good hands with Yermo.

We booked the private tour to explore the magic place, the Wave-Coyote Buttes North. We were so lucky to have Brand as our guide. We had many tours before ; Brand is the best guide we have ever had. The Wave is beautiful beyond words , Brand guided us to the Wave and ventured to Top rock and Melody Arch. Brand is encouraging while very responsible and carrying for our safety throughout entire journey, he made our day very special and unforgettable. If you want to take a tour in the area and around, the Seeking Treasure Adventures is the one you should go with!

If you’re on the fence about hiring a guide to hike The Wave, don’t think twice! Hire Yermo or Brand from Seeking Treasure Adventures! Brand was an exceptional guide, as he grew up in that area and knows everything about that part of the country. Thanks to Brand we learned interesting facts about the desert, The Wave, and where to take great pictures!The day we hiked The Wave, it rained and if we had not been with Brand, we would not of made it to the trailhead to hike The Wave. Yermo and Brand were awesome to answer any questions we had and help us prepare for the hike before we even left Tennessee. May seem a little pricey, but Brand made it a once in a lifetime experience. if we come back to that area, we will definitely be calling Brand to lead us on some other hikes!

We used Seeking Treasure Adventures on our recent buckskin gulch overnight trip and were extremely pleased with the quality of service.

You will be impressed by the intimate level of knowledge possessed by Yermo (and other team members). His decades worth of firsthand experience will be a huge benefit to your adventure.

STA is so much more than a shuttle or guide service. They represent a wealth of information and have earned my respect and trust.

We had a private tour of South Coyote Buttes with Hunter and it was one of the best hiking experiences we’ve ever had. He was wonderful—fun and full of information and an excellent guide who went out of his way to make sure we had a great day. The drive there is a difficult one and much better with someone who knows what they’re doing. Also, we would have missed so many amazing paths, climbs, and views because the trails are not easy to find. I definitely recommend a guide and I highly recommend Hunter and Seeking Treasures, who were so accommodating in helping us arrange this quickly on Easter Day.

We booked a shuttle from Lee's Ferry to the White House Trailhead for our backpacking trip through Paria Canyon. We were just looking for a shuttle. Little did we know that we were receiving professional guidance as well. Our shuttle driver, Yermo, kept us up to date on the conditions in Buckskin Gulch and Paria Canyon. He helped us adjust our trip accordingly to have the most successful outcome. Yermo's experienced opinions on flash flood conditions and other potential dangers helped us prepare better than we ever could by researching online. We also received a very informative history of the land on the way to our destination. Our trip through Paria Canyon was amazing and will never be forgotten. Huge thanks to Seeking Treasure Adventures for a successful trip!

Everything you need to see in Grand Staircase Escalante Natinal Monument that is off the beaten path, contact Seeking Treasure Adventures!
And what an adventure we had!
We were out there all day with Yermo and Hugh and weren't bored a second.
Very skilled off-road drivers and extremely helpful when you have trouble on some tougher terrain. Safety first with these guys.
And stories for days about the region, the nature and all their adventures.
Very highly recommended and we will contact them again for sure when we are back in the area.
