Rick and Amie are absolutely amazing. We took our two teenage boys and had an incredible time. Rick is so knowledgeable and a great teacher. We can’t recommend Excursions of Escalante highly enough!

Awesome experience for my group of 10 Havasu Rock Hoppers, and we’re so grateful to Amie, Rick, Calvin & Gus for making it so wonderful. We learned a lot about canyoneering, safety & teamwork all while having a blast! Thank you Excursions of Escalante. We highly recommend you for an adventure of a lifetime‼️

My 16-year-old son and I went on a canyoneering expedition with Rick as our guide and have nothing but good things to say. Rick is friendly, knowledgeable, obviously experienced not only with regard to the activity but also the local area, and very safety-conscious. He's also a good teacher - my son has some experience as a rock climber but was interested in learning more about rope climbing and rappelling in particular and Rick not only taught him a lot in one session but piqued his interest in learning more and continuing with this particular form of climbing.Iced water and a delicious lunch is included as well as a warm cup of coffee to get the blood flowing before starting and a scoop of homemade ice cream at the end to cool it back down after a day of strenuous activity. Bottom line, this is a wonderful way to spend a day or two safely climbing in some of the most beautiful slot canyons anywhere in the US (world?).

Rick was a great guide! He spent time getting to know our goals and made the trip more than an adventure; it was a learning experience which he shared shared techniques for our own independent adventures in slot canyons.

Our day of canyoneering was outstanding. The level of enjoyment surpassed my expectations.Rick impressed me as a diligent and safety conscious guide who knows the area around Escalante incredibly well. His insights about the region were fascinating.This is one of those life experiences that I really do cherish. The experience pushed me out of my comfort zone at times and I'm glad it did.Thanks for the experience, Excursions of Escalante.

The canyoneering tour with Rick was the highlight of our trip to Escalante Grand Staircase and Capitol Reef National Park. Rick and Amy are beyond inspiring and made the tour so fun for our family of 4 - (our girls are aged 9 and 12). He kept us safe while also challenging us in an awesome slot canyon he chose based on our abilities, fitness, and prior injuries. It was such an amazing time and we ended the day with delicious mango sorbet and chocolate icecream. My daughter, Penelope, loved their three dogs, especially Norman. The sandwiches Amy prepared on the trip were delicious and the perfect fuel to make it through the canyoneering tour. Thanks Rick and Amy for such a wonderful time!! The girls can’t stop talking about it and how much they loved Rick and Calvin (Rick’s assistant). We will definitely be back!

This was a awesome tour! Our Guide took us too places that we didn’t even know existed. He also was the safest guide that we have ever been with, we canyoneer a lot and consider our selfs experts but he still found a way to show us new things and make the trip a blast! Thanks Rick!

What an wonderful experience! We took our two grown "children" and their significant others in early October. Amie did a wonderful job answering our questions and getting us equipped. Rick was reassuring and professional...an amazing guide! We always felt safe as he gave clear directions and tons of encouragement! This was an experience none of us will ever forget. Thank you to Rick and Amie for an incredible day!!!

I cannot express what a highlight this tour was for my first time slot canyoneering in Escalante. Rick and his team immediately make you feel at ease that you're in safe and experienced hands. Rick was able to flex to meet each individual's comfort and capabilities which made the tour great for everyone. He made everyone feel a part of the group and a part of the effort, I didn't appreciate how much of a cooperative sport canyoneering is! Having all of the gear, lunch and snack available made things super convenient and fantastic (and delicious!). I had an incredibly fun time and have a greater appreciation for canyoneering as an activity & state of mind! If you're coming to the area and want to do slot canyoneering, I highly recommend a tour with Excursions of Escalante, the experience is elevated by the expertise and added knowledge of the local area.
