“Highly recommended to everyone. We were all first timers. I just wished we had more rappelling. We did 5 for the half day that we purchased & completed in 2.5 hours instead of the 5.5 hours. The highest drop (70 feet) & the slot canyons were full of fun. Brig our tour guide was very patient with us & felt safe 😉. We would do it again & again”
