Additional Information

We have a deep passion for the history of this area. Expect to learn about the natural landscape, but also about the Native American history and the relationship between the Paiute and the Mormon settlers in the late 1800s.

We also customize each tour to the ability of our clients. We can do a primarily driving tour with small hikes or add more robust hikes for those who want to climb hills and get out there.

We help people see another side of Zion National Park without the crowds. We do not travel inside Zion, however we will be surrounded by the park and the views are amazing.

Please note that we have a MINIMUM requirement of 2 people. Thank you.

  • Booster seats are available for kids.
  • We can accommodate those in wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
  • We are pet friendly and can accommodate dogs.

Fantastic!! - Shanti was great at helping my wife and I planning activities during our weekend visit to Zion, she even was able to secure permits for the Angels Landing for us!! Our guide Megan was wonderful, she was attentive and made sure all of us were comfortable throughout the tour. We will absolutely contact Shanti on our next trip back to Zion.

Highlight of our Vacation! - Shanti was an amazing tour guide! We had a group that included teenagers, parents and 65+. The experience was enjoyed by all. Loved that our hikes took us to places seldom seen by others. The other bonus is Shanti offered her guidance to us throughout the week we were vacationing at no charge! So glad we booked with Wild Utah Tours!

Fantastic! - Shanti was wonderful at finding beautiful places for us to explore that were far, far away from the crowds heading into Zion National Park. We hiked to a beautiful arch, found some petroglyphs, petrified wood, and dinosaur tracks. We hiked into a slot canyon and got to see breathtaking vistas of the area. She even managed to make a day with terrible wind still magical. Thank you!

Definite recommendation for a day away from the crowds. - We decided to give this tour a try and are extremely happy we did. We saw old petragkyphs, dinosaur tracks, a ghost town, and some of the most serene and calming scenery off the beaten path. Mark and Shanti were amazing. They were extremely accommodating and willing to plan the day around what we wanted to see most. On top of that Shanti went above and beyond with self-guided day tour itineraries that we could drive around and do on our own around the Zion area. It turned out to be a perfect day and the self guided tours we’ve done so far have been great too! Would definitely recommend!

Knowledgeable and fun! - Shanti guided me and my niece on several day hikes in the area. Her knowledge of the less crowded spots is amazing! And I especially appreciated the way she paid attention to what we wanted, and how we were doing. She coached me up some sheer rock faces I probably wouldn't have had the nerve to do on my own - and the views were really worth it!

It was ok tour. We went... - It was ok tour. We went on a quick hike with an amazing views. We were told we couldn't go to see Petroglyphs. Drive to the Ghost town was definitely off-road and pretty interesting. Mark was very attentive and provided snacks and water. We enjoyed our couple of hours sightseeing tour.
