From booking to drop off, this experience was excellent. There is absolutely no way to traverse White Pocket easily without a guide and Bruce was great. He pointed out all sorts of cool vegetation and geology in the area including pretty cactus flowers that seem to sprout of out nowhere and took us to see the beautiful cliffs and striations of White Pocket. He took some great photos for us and provided water and hiking snacks. Bruce is also an incredibly patient guide and will wait for us to catch our breath and help people along tricky areas. Great time, wouldn't miss out on it

This is a cheap and fast way to see Peekaboo Slot Canyon near Kanab, Utah and en route to Zion from the Grand Canyon. Many travelers don't have time to take a long tour. Many just want to see the canyon and then head to another activity, make a flight home or go see Zion National Park. This taxi ride is perfect for anyone wanting to save money, energy or the big headache of being stuck for hours in the sand. This location is known for being a stressful 7 mile round trip hike that can take many hours. Save money and time by coming with us for a taxi ride.

We have never been in a slot canyon, so this was our chance to do while we were near Zion natl park. Peek-a-boo canyon is a narrow slat canyon about 3 miles in on a 4x4 road. Our guide Jared meet us at the trail head and took us to the canyon. We had a great time walking the entire length of the narrow canyon. Along the way Jared told us about the canyon features and history. It is an easy walk and we got several good photos. A great experience for a slot newbie. The ride into the canyon is part of the fun. There is thick sand and bumps to pass through. After the slot tour you go to a large sand hill where you can try to slide down it on a sand board either by sitting on it or standing. A great way to end the trip.

Kanab, Utah and the Peekaboo Slot Canyon was our first stop of a 7 day adventure vacation. Our guides were terrific, the slot canyon is an amazing site to see and worth every minute of the bumpy off-road ride to get there. Definitely a must do if in the area.

Few people see the mighty Grand Canyon National Park from the remote North Rim. Here a wide web of jeep tracks lead to remote and almost inaccessible wilderness and the best view points on the entire Grand Canyon. Our local guides take you to the Grand Canyon rarely seen by tourists. You get to see the inaccessible Toroweap overlook, reachable only by sturdy 4x4. Then we jeep onto the North Rim, the remote rim of the Grand Canyon. We camp and hike along the Rainbow Rim Trail with stunning views into the abyss of the canyon below. On the return to Las Vegas, we have a chance to walk the world’s longest and deepest Narrows, hidden in the Paria Wilderness. Most of the sights of this itinerary are reachable only on 4x4 tracks through the desert and forest and there are no hotels. We will spend 3 nights camping in the wilds without any infrastructure. There will be no electricity, running water, and limited cell reception on this trip. We will bring an emergency signaling device.

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: We ask that you bring your own sleeping bag.

A month in advance, I reached out to Susanne for a custom private tour of Yellowstone, Utah's Mighty Five, and Grand Canyon. Susanne and Team really delivered, tailoring an itinerary to match my tastes, weather, and budget. Cameron the guide was also amazing - knowledgeable, flexible, and a great travel partner. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

This experience is private, no need to worry about combined groups causing social distancing problems. Guides drive the UTVs. No guest driving. Great sunsets can often be found at near Zion National Park. This location is within 30 minutes of Zion. This is a great opportunity to see the beautiful Peekaboo slot canyon and then have some fun on the sand dunes at sunset. The beauty of the dunes just adds to an already unique ATV adventure. Sand boarding down a dune is one of the optional activities and the kids especially will love it! Whether its a sight seeing ride or an adventuresome outing for the kids, this experience has something for everyone.

This experience is private, no need to worry about combined groups causing social distancing problems. This is a fully guided experience where the guides do the driving. Sunrise is one of the best times to visit Peek-A-Boo slot canyon. Jump into a Polaris ATV and let an experienced guide take you up and down the hills on a trail riding experience that is perfect for the whole family. Take a break for some sandboarding down a small dune before going back out on the trail that will lead us to the slot canyon. The canyon hike is easy and very accessible for all ages. This is a great opportunity for getting away from the crowds and having fun in a comfortable 4 seater ATV! There are so many things to do while on your stay in southern Utah and so little time. This sunrise experience not only gets a fun activity set for the early morning, it also is an opportunity to escape the crowds and see a place that is easy for adults, children and seniors to access.

Cannot say how great this experience was. Ted was our guide and you can tell how much he truly cared about our experience! We went as a group of five from 31-64 years of age. Beautiful scenery and a fun adventure for all. Could not recommend this enough. Antelope canyon was closed but even if it was open, I am certain I would have rather been on this experience!

This experience is private, no need to worry about combined groups causing social distancing problems. This is a fully guided experience where guides do the driving. Sandboarding is a unique activity by itself. But the best thing about this tour is keeping the cost down while being able to sandboard/sled plus ride in a UTV/ATV. The sand dune we board down is great for all ages. You can either board standing up or sled sitting down! At 1 hour, this tour allows you to easily get in a fun activity that wont make you dedicate an entire day to an excursion while also providing some fast paced excitement. We have found that many guests prefer not to ride for hours on the dusty trails. And with short vacation time not everyone has the opportunity for the longer tours! It is a quick stop on the way to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park and will most likely be a location you pass on your travels to see the parks.
