We did the half day rock climbing and half day canyoneering trip with Zion Adventures on 6/11... honestly can't say enough good things! We're a family of four (two teenage kids) who were visiting from California. Our trip was fantastic for so many reasons, but the main one was our GUIDE ADAM! He was engaging, kind, safe, great with our kids, and made the trip more than we could've hoped. He matched both activities to our skill level and truly made the day feel like it was just for us! Thank you Adam and Zion Adventures for a memorable and remarkable day! read more

Staff was super friendly. They gave us a rundown of what to expect from the park which was super helpful. They have great deals on equipment for the narrows. Equipment was solid. Definitely recommend. read more

Had a great experience with both Savage and Beks... two associates that help take the worry out of finding proper gear for hiking The Narrows. These two walked us through the process and got us in and out with ease. I will come back and give the ZAC location my Buisness again. Prices are reasonable!!! read more

This place is absolutely Amazing. Not only do you get gear at a reasonable price but you also get a brief about conditions, warning etc. the staff is absolutely amazing even when they are slammed they give you their undivided attention. If you have littles they have the selection for you, my 4YO was able to get shoes for the narrows and a backpack carrier for my 2YO. I highly recommend them they're open late so rentals are not hard to return and they have their own parking so you don't have to pay or go looking for spots to get in. read more

Getting there: Zion Adventure Company is located right off the main road, on your left hand side if you're heading East. Experience: We used this company to rent our materials to hike the Narrows as well as get shuttled into the park. This company requires you to pick up your gear the day before, if you are heading up earlier than their opening time. However, we forgot to pick up our gear the day before, and they were very nice at letting us pick up our when we arrived and still make our shuttle time. The gear we rented held up very well as we hike through the Narrows. We paid about $50 for the gear and the ride to the trailhead. Tips: - Don't forget to grab your gear the day before! read more

Our family had the most amazing afternoon rock climbing with our guide Adam. Adam was safety first, a great teacher and fun to hang out with. Our two kids really enjoyed both climbing and rappelling with the help of Adam's guidance and expertise. read more

Me and my boyfriend decided on a whim to rent some bikes and explore Zion, even though neither of us had ridden a bicycle in over 10 years (nearly 16 years for myself). We stumbled upon ZAC and nervously walked in, where we were immediately greeted by a staff member, and very friendly so. We inquired about renting some bikes and within 10 minutes we were sitting on our very own pair, all ours for the day, for only about $100 bucks. The staff encouraged us to "test drive" them, and were very uplifting and almost seemed excited for us to venture out. We ended up having one of the best times we have ever had! Thank you for your friendly, kind, helpful service :)) read more

Zion Adventures - Our lovely rentals parked, with ZAC in the background and an amazing view behind it - Hiking Near Me - Springdale, Utah

First, let me start this review with a note of encouragement. If you're doubting your ability to do the narrows, yes you can! Take it slow and you'll be fine. It is an extremely doable hike with a very "choose your own adventure", as you can turn around at any point. Now that you're convinced, head to Zion Adventure company. I spent a great deal of time researching the various dry-suit rental businesses in the area (and there are a lot) and landed on this one. Every interaction with this business that ensued confirmed my choice. We drove from Colorado to Zion and had one day to do the Narrows. We got to Zion at 1pm after driving close to 9 hours and were told the scenic drive was closed to traffic due to parking restrictions. That's when Eric stepped in and offered a shuttle ride, which commenced quite literally the best customer experience I have ever had in my life. Not only was Eric the ultimate hype man for the narrows, but provided a solution to our problem by offering to shuttle us to the top of the route, despite us being the only customers in the store at the time. If you come outside of peak season, know that there are no public shuttle buses (they begin on 3/11 this year and we were there 3/6). However, Eric was able to shuttle us, all well giving an epic tour of the scenic road on the park, offering tips and tricks, and recommendations for further hikes. We did the Narrows and Eric promptly picked us up and enthusiastically continued to give recommendations, including dinner, which we took him up on. I will definitely be coming back to Zion when I have more time (this was just a quick stop on a road trip) and doing some rock climbing. I will 100% be back at ZA for that. read more

This is my second review, I believe, for this outstanding organization, however, this experience merits its own review. My boyfriend and his son had a high adventure day with the most amazing guide, Whitney. This woman is a true gem. For starters, a great communicator. Haven't we all experienced how difficult communication is lately? Not in this case. Also: an OUTSTANDING guide and instructor. Patient, generous with knowledge and fun. Cannot recommend her enough. Once again, Zion Adventure comes through. We have been coming here since 2010 and would never use any other company. Thank you again, Whitney! read more

Even though we came early in the day to pick up gear for the following day, they still let us pick up the gear so we didn't have to come back again. They made it very easy to pick out the gear we needed and package pricing for the Narrows gear rental was a great value. Definitely recommend coming here for gear if you're doing any water hiking for the first time. The river is powerful and having the right gear made our hike more comfortable / manageable. read more

So happy I went with Zion Adventures for my guided Narrows hike! After calling several companies, Zion Adventures was the only company who actually answered the phone and all of my questions. Henry suggested the perfect hike and Cody was an excellent guide. The Narrows was incredible and Cody made it so much more with some history, geology and fun facts. This a great company and can't wait to book our next adventure with ZA. read more

From the phone call weeks ago to the in person service, nothing but A+ customer service!! We, a group of 8 females, came to Zion to celebrate my sisters bachelorette party. I had a lot of planning to do and was nervous about putting this all together for a large group. I came across Zion Adventure alongside many other adventure companies. Zion Adventure Company seemed to be the only business to run like an actual business and take themselves seriously. I called a few times and all times they answered the phone, were professional and answered all my questions. They could tell I was worried with all my questions as they prompted me to ask as many questions and provided me with additional information to make me feel at Ease. I obviously moved forward With my reservation that includes the following: Stick Boots Socks Shuttle service And amazing guide tour to tell us about the mountains and scenic views on our way to the Narrows. All just for $55... steal deal! We arrived early as they recommended to get sized for boots and socks. The ladies helping us were so patient and helpful. Our driver was awesome, very funny and continued answering all the questions and providing tips for a fun hike through the narrows. We had lost one of the members on our team and everyone but this member made it back by pick up time. They were extremely kind and accommodating to our situation & were able to move things around once we found our additional hiker. Thank you so much for an amazing experience & all the tips. We had a blast!!! read more

I wouldn't have been able to complete the full top-down Narrows hike if it weren't for the Zion Adventure Company! My group of 6 all rented the footwear package, which included the Canyon Shoes, Neoprene Socks, and a Hiking Pole and bought the shuttle ride to Chamberlain's Ranch as well. Hiking the Narrows with all 3 made me feel safe, protected, and invincible (like I was walking on water lol!). The canyon shoes weren't the most comfortable shoes ever but they were pretty durable the whole 2 days of hiking in the water and on gravel. Not all canyon shoes are perfect though so make sure they fit you and are comfortable when you try them on at the store before going to the Narrows! One of my friend's pair of canyon shoes were hurting her the 2nd day and she ended up hating them. Fortunately, mine were okay. After completing the full top-down Narrows hike, I can't imagine hiking the Narrows with any other shoes, socks, or hiking pole. The shoes and socks are really waterproof since they are meant to be in the water, and the socks keeps you warm. The hiking pole is very sturdy when using against strong water current. If you're using your normal hiking pole, it might break so I recommend renting their hiking pole if you can! All their gear will help you out a lot!! If you're in need of other supplies and food then this store has everything you need before your hike as well! Everyone at the store are very friendly and helpful as well. Thanks Zion Adventure Company for making my trip more bearable! read more

Amazing company, amazing guides, exceeded expectations We made last minute plans to visit Zion in June & found that this company had spots for Angel's landing hike. Since my party of 2 is outdoorsy but hadn't been active over the pandemic, I was afraid we might slow down the group. I called the customer service & they helped calm my nerves and explained how the hike is also a tour with guides explaining the flora, plants & any questions you may have about Zion. We joined a party of 3 others and had a good time hiking up. Our guides, John & Sophie were fabulous. We gathered a lot of information. Once at the Scott's lookout, my family didn't feel too keen to go up Angel's. The guides, John & Sophie, didn't force us but gave us enough encouragement & data points that made us go up. And boy!! glad we did. All the youtube videos with fish eye lens make it seem scarier than it is. The guides helped us understand the technique, paced us with other hikers on the route and showed grace to others by allowing folks to pass by. Impressed with the service, we decided to join the vis ferrata tour the next day. It was MIND BLOWING. John helped us get on the tour last minute. We got lucky with the owners, Rick & Michelle, joining us for that tour. We also have Bill as our guide. Bill & his team have constructed the via ferrata route. We learnt so many cool things about being safe on via ferrata & enjoying the steep climbs. Overall, the company is run and operated by folks who are not just professionals & the best in their field but they also really really kind human beings. The amount of patience, understanding they showed us is unparalleled. We will be back at Zion for other adventure tours with this company. read more

I'm glad I came here to rent the hiking boots, neoprene socks and hiking stick for the Zion National Park Narrows hiking! With tax, it cost about $25 for the rental and I was able to pick them up the day before my hike. The people working here were nice and informative. We watched a video about the Narrows, which gave us an idea what we were in for. Then we tried on socks and shoes and picked out a hiking stick. The process was efficient and easy. The shoes were comfortable and really made my hike enjoyable through the cold water of the Narrows. I'm not sure how other people hiked in regular hiking shoes and even flip flops! There were a few spots in their parking lot and street parking available. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .

Rented boots, socks and walking poles today and took their shuttle up to the Narrows. I have to say they are doing a great job dealing with the Covid pandemic. All there staff has masks. They even have 'clean' pens and 'dirty' pens on the counter. On both our shuttle rides everyone was wearing masks. Definitely making everyone feel safe. Before we booked our trip we went to another outfitter in Springdale that offers cheaper shuttle rides; but no one there were wearing masks. When I asked them if their drivers wear masks; they said no. Even though ZAC was a little more; I'm willing to pay more for peace of mind. Next time we are in Zion we'll be going back to ZAC read more

A friend and I booked the Eye of the Needle tour and were paired up with 2 others and the masterful Assam as our guide. Add, transitions, and subtract...sounds pretty easy right. Maybe it was the lack of oxygen since we all live at sea level, but some of us just couldn't get it. Rather than be traumatized us with something we weren't ready for, the group opted for a slower paced, but no less enjoyable canyoneering day were we could build skills and bond. That's were Assam introduced us to flat-footing, chimneying, rappelling, and stemming. Traveling down a slot canyon felt like the birth canal, and I popped out the opening reborn. I plan of arranging future trips with lots more canyoneering. We laughed, we cried from the heights, we peed our pants a little. All the things that make for an unforgettable adventure that will burn brightly in our minds until the day we die which thankfully didn't happen because of Assam's ability to mitigate risk. We are all better people for having gone through this journey together, and we have Zion Adventure Company and more importantly Assam to thank for it. Don't hesitate to book a tour. You are in good hands, and Assam is the man! read more

My wife booked a sunset Jeep tour for the two of us and our toddler. Dylan was our guide and was very safe, kind and informative. He recommended a great location from which to watch the sunset and above all, was kind, patient and thoughtful toward our talkative, energetic and sometimes demanding son. With or without a child, we can't recommend this tour enough and are very grateful to Dylan! read more

The Narrows gear. Very easy to make reservations. We picked up our gear right away and they were very helpful in showing how to maximize the use of the waterproof pants. My husband and I stayed dry the entire time even when the water went up to our waist. The neoprene socks and hiking boots are meant to get wet and there's no way to avoid your feet getting wet no matter what you use. They did help in preventing blisters and having traction on the slippery rocks. It was about 70 degrees during our hike so the water was a little chilly but we were very comfortable the entire tome. Walk out of the shop and across the street then you get on one of the free town shuttles. They will take you to the Zion shuttles. Ride that one till the end and you're ready to go! read more

Last week we used ZAC for a canyoneering trip. The scenery was spectacular with the "flowy" rock formations and narrow canyon slots. Best of all... we learned how to repel with the patient instruction of our guide Zach. We did a couple short repels, then 2 huge repels! Highly recommend! read more

Would highly recommend for rental gear and shuttle service for certain hikes (like Narrows Top Down). Prices were on par with others in the area. Only downside for this place is that they don't offer an after hours drop off for their equipment, so be aware of their hours if you plan on leaving the area right after an all day hike like Narrows Top-Down. Also, Kevin the shuttle driver was very nice and knowledgeable. Appreciated his "fun facts" during the shuttle drive read more

Zion Adventures provided a awesome 1st time Canyoneering experience for me. They offered us 4 possible experiences detailing how each was different and took into account our desires and level of challenge. Whit was an awesome guide providing encouragement and allowing us to customize the descents and obstacles with what we were comfortable with. A+ experience! read more

Congratulations! You made it to Zion, and you lucked out with the weather. If conditions are safe, hiking the Narrows is a must. So is visiting Zion Adventure Company to rent the proper gear. Trust me, you won't regret this. Obviously, having the right equipment is essential, and ZAC specializes in whatever you will need for your Zion experience, including the Narrows. They have a whole web page that outlines the different options: https://www.zionadventures.com/narrows-rentals.html Because it was October, my companions and I opted for the dry pants package. Honestly, I was a little skeptical about hiking a river, but it was a walk in the park thanks to the neoprene socks, canyon shoes, Gore-Tex pants, and walking stick. Tip: you might want to give yourself a little extra time if you are taking the shuttle from the Temple of Sinawava back into town. ZAC asked us to be back by 7 pm, but we didn't make it back until after 7:30. All of the employees are very cool and knowledgeable about anything you would want to do in Zion, even where to get healthy food. Thanks, ZAC. We had a blast! read more

What an amazing adventure we had with Philip and Tyler today! We had 6 people in our multigenerational family group, ages 9 to 63 for a half-day adventure. Philip and Tyler worked well with each other as coworkers and really got to know our hiking and rappelling abilities. They chose the right level of adventure activities and supported us when we needed it. Made us all LOVE canyoneering! read more

We rented e-bikes from Zion Adventures one day and Narrows gear the next and were very impressed by the quality of the gear and expertise provided! I really appreciate their team's sincerity and thoroughness with safety. They helped us stay informed on weather conditions and pick the best day for our Narrows hike when there was a small chance of flash floods. They also were very attentive to any questions or concerns we had. Our group had different thresholds of tolerance in the Narrows, but we were able to decide when to turn back or split up based on the info they gave us. If you want to feel sure on your feet in the Narrows, rent from these guys! read more

Expert advice on whether or not to go to Angels Landing first or the Narrows. Additionally, I also took a great deal of time to make sure we were fitted properly for all the gear to go into the Narrows. And, we were the last people out of the Narrows, it was getting cold and obviously wet, by the time we got back it was too late, they were closed. Nevertheless, we were there the next morning, not even early, but later in the morning and they did not charge us extra. At this time of the year they weren't packed, it would've been a shitty thing to charge us extra, but they could've and they didn't. They were just very helpful all the way around read more

I had the BEST time hiking thru the narrows with my guide Will. Will was so knowledgeable about the surrounding areas, super easy to talk to and get to know and made sure I was comfortable. I felt like I was with family. There was snow everywhere, the air temperature was in the 30's and the scenery was breathtaking! I booked this solo trip as a 53 year old woman wanting to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something I've never done. I've never felt more fulfilled, empowered, proud of myself and closer to God than I felt on this journey. I HIGHLY recommend Zion Outdoor Company. read more

We rented the full dry suit package to hike the Narrows in winter. Quality of the equipment was absolutely outstanding we picked up 4:30 PM the day before, spent seven hours in the canyon, and returned at 9 AM the following day. Equipment was clean and very high-quality. we were completely shocked that our feet never got cold. The package came with two sets of neoprene booties for a total of about 10 mm inside the best designed boot for this activity that you could possibly imagine. Highly recommend. And of course the Narrows experience itself was outstanding. read more

If you are planning on going to the Narrows, I highly recommend renting gear including water shoes, neoprene socks and a walking stick. There are a few other stores in town to rent these, but I like this place as they make you watch introductory video first. I learned enough about the Narrows prior to my visit and it was helpful. All the staff here is very friendly and helpful. They just have such a nice smile. Gear I rented was very helpful. Made my walk in the water more enjoyable. If I come back, I would definitely come back here for all my activity needs. read more

Super helpful in helping us prepare for our Narrows Top Down trip. Every time that I called (and it was many) before the trip the representatives were kind and helpful, answering my multitude of questions about gear, shuttles, rental equipment, etc. wet suit vs dry suit, dry bags, booties/boots/poles. Eric drive our shuttle to Chamberlain Ranch and was kind, informative, and very helpful, even walking us down to the trailhead for a family photo before he sent us off. Three cheers for Eric!

This review is for Coyote Gulch (March): For $750 per person, we spent three days (two nights) hiking Coyote Gulch (Mid March) with a camping guide. Almost all the equipment was provided and there was no need to study a map. Everyone had a great time, learned a lot about camping, saw a lot of beautiful nature-y landscapes and structures, and became inspired to camp/hike more often. What made our experience just that more memorable was our awesome guide, Rich M. (aka Backpacking Czar). He was friendly, knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor, and truly lived up to his title. We asked him a bunch of questions related to camping/gear/packing/safety throughout our trip and he enjoyed answering each one. This was really helpful because we all wanted to go camping on our own in the future so it was a good educational experience. When it came to directions/routes and best camping spots, he knew it all. There was no need for us to do any extensive research or worry about getting lost without food or water. This is a guy who truly loves his job and knows what he is doing. His enthusiasm towards the great outdoors is inspiring and catchy. The trip would not have been the same without him. Thanks Rich! Equipment and Items Provided (Yours may be different): -Hiking Back Pack (MHM Divide 55-65 L) -Ultra Light Sleeping Pad (Therm-a-rest NeoAir Xlite) -Ultra Light Sleeping Bag (Sea to Summit 20 Deg F) -Tent (Big Agnes Fly Creek) w/ Footprint -Water Shoes (I recommend bringing your own) -Neoprene Socks -Rope -Medic Kit -Water Purifier System (Sawyer Complete Water Purifier System) -Cooking Equipment -Main Course Meals (2 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 2 Dinner) -Plates, Bowls, Utensils etc... (the full list available online) I highly recommend bringing a UV head wear for physical sunblock. It keeps you cool and does a good job preventing skin damage/cancer. No need to re-apply, unlike sun block. I prefer the brand called Buff because it's made in Spain and is effective. Logistics: -Fly to Las Vegas, rent a car, and drive to Escalante. -Spend one night in Escalante Outfitters to prepare for tomorrow morning. -Get picked up by camp guide the next morning at 7:00 AM. Ride towards Trail head for a good (bumpy) while. -Once arrived, perform final gear pack and start hiking! Where do you poop? You poop in a bag and carry it out with you. It may sound nasty, but it's actually not that bad. The bag is double sealed, comes with sanitary wipes, and is designed for human (solid) waste. Inside the bag comes with toilet paper and sanitary wipes. You gotta go when you gotta go! If you truly can't do the bag route, they have one (very nice and clean) out house style restroom during the hike. You just have to plan your "routine" with the hiking schedule so you reach that spot when nature calls. read more

Rented non e-bikes twice during our stay. Solid bikes with all the equipment you need. The two folks who helped us with the bikes were SOOO nice and helpful. I did ask if it would be possible to get a discount since we rented 2x and the bike we used the first day got recalled for a parts issue, and one employee was condescending and rude for me even asking. I figure it didn't hurt to ask so it wasnt necessary to be rude about it. But thank you to the two bike folks for being great!!! read more

Hiking in Zion in the winter is probably one of the most breathtaking experiences, but it can also be one of the most slippery and freezing one as well. That is why Zion Adventure Company is a must-visit when you are doing any of the hikes in Zion, and especially if you are hiking the Zion Narrows. You can choose to do the full-suit up and rent a dry suit, neoprene socks, canyoneering shoes, a walking stick, and backpack for about $60-70 and you're almost guaranteed to fare pretty well on your hikes. I rented the whole package to hike the narrows and the staff here was extremely helpful! They also have rental gear for your shoes if you just want to do some basic hiking but don't want to slip and fall down. These spikes that you attach to your shoes will give you much better stability! Trying out the suits/shoes and sitting through their educational video will take up almost 45 minutes to an hour, so make sure to account for that in your arrival time to start hiking. Give yourself plenty of time to get ready and enjoy the hikes! read more

I have to say, this company really has it together and has some of the friendliest staff I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Booked the "Narrows Gear & Shuttle Package" online for me and my family of 4 for Friday, 8/14/20, which included roundtrip shuttle transportation from the shop to the Temple of Sinawava in Zion and rental gear (boots, neoprene socks, walking stick, backpacks, dry bags), all for a very reasonable $55/person. The day after I booked online, ZAC called me to verify the date, collect payment, and instructed us to go to their store the day before our booking to get fitted and pick up our gear. When we arrived in the morning to catch the shuttle, our driver John was already waiting for us outside the shop and we were soon on the way to the trail. During the ~25 minute ride, John gave us lots of good information and education about the park, along with details about where to meet in the afternoon to be picked up. After spending 6 hours hiking the Narrows, we made it back to the Temple of Sinawava trailhead to find our ZAC driver, Derek, waiting for us and it was another pleasant ride back to the shop where we returned our gear. These guys are super friendly, accommodating, and just overall great to deal with. Don't know when we'll be able to hike the Narrows again, but if/when we do we will definitely return to ZAC to rent gear and have them transport us to the trail. read more

I had a great experience renting mountain bikes from Zion Adventure Company. We stopped by the night before to put in our reservation for 4 bikes. The following morning our bikes were outside ready to go when they opened at 8:00am! They did a quick fitting check for bikes, helmets and gloves. They even helped us attach the hitch and load all of our bikes. The price of a day rental is great, $55 which is they same as you'd pay anywhere else. Great staff, they spent time going over the trail map and recommend a few trails which were only about 30 minutes away. We ended up riding the JEM trail to warm up and then spent the rest of the day riding Gooseberry which is amazing! I'm a experienced rider and I really enjoyed riding the Fuji MTBs. They are really well maintained and handled great on the trail. Overall I highly recommend them form a bike rental. read more
