How much hiking is involved, and what's the fitness level required?

Zion offers trails for all abilities. The Riverside Walk is gentle and paved; Emerald Pools (1–3 miles) is moderate; Angels Landing (5.4 miles round trip) is strenuous with steep elevation gain and exposed sections. Your guide can tailor the itinerary to your fitness level.

Is there time to swim or wade in the Virgin River?

Yes. The Riverside Walk ends at the Temple of Sinawava, where you can wade and swim in the Virgin River. Bring water shoes and a change of clothes if you plan to soak.

What's included in the EUR 1,396 price, and are there extras?

The price includes hotel pickup/drop-off from Las Vegas and park access. National Park entrance fees (typically ~$35 USD per vehicle) and meals are not included. Ranger programs are available upon request.

How long is the drive from Las Vegas to Zion?

Approximately 2.5–3 hours one way. The total 10-hour tour duration includes travel, so allow roughly 5–6 hours for actual hiking and sightseeing in the park.

Can I do the Narrows hike on this tour?

The Narrows is mentioned as a possibility, but it is a wading hike requiring specific gear (neoprene socks and walking sticks) and typically takes 3+ hours. Confirm with your guide beforehand—it may not fit comfortably into a single day with other canyon highlights unless you prioritize it.

Is this tour wheelchair accessible?

The Riverside Walk is paved and wheel-accessible. Most other trails (Angels Landing, Emerald Pools, the Narrows) involve stairs, uneven terrain, or wading. Discuss accessibility needs at booking so your guide can plan accordingly.

About this activity

Escape Las Vegas for a full-day immersion in Zion Canyon National Park, where 2,000ft+ cliffs of red and white Navajo sandstone frame some of the American Southwest's most dramatic geology. This small-group private tour (up to 5 people) gives you unhurried access to iconic trails and viewpoints, from the Riverside Walk to Angels Landing, with hotel pickup included.

Cut by the Virgin River, Zion Canyon is an impressive mix of white, pink and red Navajo sandstone cliffs. Ancient petrified sand dunes towering over 2000ft (0.61 km) above the canyon floor make for an impressive landscape and a photographer’s paradise.

Zion National Park offers enchanting walks & hikes for every fitness level.

We arrive in Zion with plenty of time for you to explore this breathtaking park, take the stunning Riverside walk, soak your feet in the Virgin River, stroll around Emerald Pools, enjoy the Temple of Sinawava, Angels Landing, the Great White Throne, Weeping Rock and visit the interpretive Human History Museum where you can enjoy an entertaining ranger talk on the patio.

Insider tips

★Start Angels Landing early if attempting it; the final switchbacks draw crowds mid-morning and the chain section is exposed.
★Bring water shoes or sandals for Virgin River wading—the riverside walk is cooler and less crowded than main canyon trails.
★Ask your guide about lesser-used trailheads like Emerald Pools; sunrise light on the cliffs is exceptional for photography.
★Ranger talks at the Human History Museum (spring/autumn) often reveal geology and human settlement history you'll miss on self-guided walks.

Good to know

•Angels Landing involves chains and a narrow ridge; moderate fitness and no fear of heights required. Riverside Walk is wheel-accessible.

our instructor Sofia sorted everything for us and the zipline straight over the gorge was the highlight, and honestly better than the adventure we did in Lisbon last year.

our instructor Aiko had so many stories and the zipline straight over the gorge was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar adventure we tried in Cape Town.
