This canyoneering outfitter near Kanab consistently delivers exceptional experiences across all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced adventurers. The guides, particularly Nathan, Darren, Jillian, and Brett, earn praise not just for their technical expertise and safety focus, but for their ability to read groups and adapt on the fly. Reviewers mention guides patiently working with people afraid of heights, accommodating language barriers, and finding creative solutions for families with varying fitness levels. Several locals use them repeatedly, which says a lot about their access to private lands and hidden spots most visitors would never find. The flexibility really stands out. When weather doesn't cooperate or someone's comfort level shifts, guides seamlessly adjust plans to create memorable experiences anyway. Families appreciate how they coordinate logistics like pickup and drop-off at lodging, while photography-minded travelers love that guides willingly snap photos without extra charges. The technical instruction for rappelling gets consistently high marks for being thorough yet accessible. Many reviewers specifically mention returning multiple times or already planning their next adventure, with several calling it the highlight of their entire Utah trip.
Darren DeSilva and All Ways Adventures made what was already supposed to be an incredible trip into something truly unforgettable for us. We joined them for an epic backcountry adventure to Neon Canyon, followed by a day trip to Angels Landing in Zion, and what stood out most wasn’t just the scenery—it was the experience Darren created around it. What sets All Ways Adventures apart is the bespoke nature of their private trips. This never felt like being pushed through a generic itinerary or tour package. Darren genuinely listened to what we wanted from the experience and shaped the trip around our interests, pace, comfort level, and goals. It felt thoughtfully designed around us, not around a schedule. Darren brings a rare combination of deep expertise and complete humility. His knowledge of the terrain, safety, geology, routes, and hidden details of the region is obvious, but it’s delivered with such an easygoing and grounded style that we never felt lectured or rushed. He quietly inspires confidence while making everything feel natural and relaxed. Just as important, he’s simply a genuinely friendly and enjoyable person to spend time with. Long days in the backcountry are about much more than logistics, and Darren has a way of making you feel like you’re exploring with a knowledgeable friend rather than a guide. We were also lucky enough to meet the young owners of the company, Nate and Jillian, and quickly realized where the family-focused ethos comes from. They have that wonderfully authentic outdoor spirit—the kind of effortlessly cool, adventurous “dirt bag” vibe that would make any millennial swoon—but paired with deeply rooted family values. It’s a rare combination: adventurous and hip, yet warm, grounded, and genuinely caring. Meeting them made it clear that the culture of this company is not manufactured; it’s simply who they are. Neon Canyon was spectacular, Angels Landing was unforgettable, but Darren’s ability—and All Ways Adventures’ commitment—to creating a personalized, authentic experience is what made the trip exceptional. We’d return in a heartbeat and recommend All Ways Adventures to anyone looking for something far beyond the standard guided trip.
