Great operation, well run, thorough, efficient and friendly. We had a group of 10 or so with people of varying levels of confidence and ability. Rick was attentive and respectful to each participant. Super impressive, would and will definitely return again.
Once we were on the tour, we found that Rick is an gem. He just glows with happiness and confidence. He is infinitely patient and boundlessly cheerful. He knew every little piece of the canyon we explored as well as countless others in the area. His attention to safety was truly impressive. When working with our kids, he got them engaged and excited about all parts of the adventure. They felt like they were co-leaders of the trip by the end.
You'd be crazy to go out there with anyone else.
We had an amazing time with Rick out in the canyons!!! We highly recommend Excursions of Escalante – everything was great. My wife originally was apprehensive about going into the canyons – Rick and Davis made everyone on the trip feel safe and confident. We loved the day so much we are planning on going out again!!! Thanks Rick & Amie!!
Absolutely amazing. I can't recommend Excursions of Escalante enough. The business side is run very efficiently and professionally. They were ready for us when we arrived and had a very smooth process to get us equipped. They were most thorough in their preparations.
Very professional and friendly staff. They offer you a great slot canyon hiking experience.
On May 5 2017 my adult nephew and I booked a canyoneering tour with Excursions of Escalante. Rick (owner and guide) led our group of 7 adults, but his wife Amie had the rare opportunity to join us. I’ve been on many group adventure trips in Alaska, arctic Canada, Greenland and such with several great outfitters. Rick was one of the best I’ve encountered. There were plenty of opportunities for safety issues but Rick seemed to have all of them well under control. Several members of our party were past 60 but reasonably fit and everyone did very well. No complaints that I heard and at the end all of us were enthusiastic about the experience. Rick was very patient, explaining what they were going to be doing, the various safety measures they were taking, and encouraging everyone to slowly and safely proceed. He provided a wealth of information on canyoneering skills and tips for helping each other when possible e.g., providing foot holds on short descents on smooth sandstone. During the debriefing Rick shared his experience which I recall was impressive, but you can go to their Web site and view their “Our Team” page for such information. If you have children (we don’t) I think Rick would be a perfect instructor and guide for them on his excursions, but I do not know Rick’s age requirements for clients. Absolutely highly recommended! However, try to book months in advance. With 5 days to choose from a month away Amie was only able to get the 2 of us in on one day.
