Summary:
One of their criteria is smaller group sizes for a more personal feel, and it works. My guide was Ryan a young college student. You wouldn’t have known it from his knowledge and maturity. Explanations were clear and , I apologize Ryan, all my many questions were addressed, even ones having nothing to do with the Canyons. Would not hesitate to recommend the Waterhole Canyons tour.

Summary:
The canyon was gorgeous. The crowd was nonexistent (opposite of Antelope) and guide Ryan was amazing. Friendly, responsive, sang a Navajo mourning song deep in a slot to commemorate the loss of an I regents boy in Canada, played a beautiful tune on a traditional Navajo flute. Felt authentic, beautiful, not staged and wonderful. HIGHLY recommend.

I have been through a lot of guided tours through many beautiful places, but this one was special. Not only was the landscape beyond amazing, our tour guide, Ryan, really went above and beyond to share the history, culture, and spirituality of this place. This should be on everyone’s bucket list.
