What Guests are Saying:

We enjoyed a UTV ride to Peekaboo Slot Canyon

"Couldn't recommend more! My kids and I booked two excursions with them when in Kanab last week. We enjoyed a UTV ride to Peekaboo Slot Canyon with our awesome guide, Justin, who knew so much about the terrain and the geology of the canyon and was just a really nice guy! We also booked a stargazing and sweets tour and lucked out with amazingly clear skies - our guide Kyle was so knowledgeable and kind and took the time to answer all of my kids' questions. We had a fabulous time and definitely would not have been able to do these things without Expedition Kanab. We hope to be back!" ★★★★★ - Gail C.
