    About this experience

    There are as many metaphors to describe what locals call 'down in the Buckskin' as there are people who have been there. I choose the word 'in' because you are literally inside the walls of the world's longest slot canyon. According to the Bureau of Land Management ('BLM') website, Buckskin Gulch is 16 miles long (around 26 km) from the Buckskin Trailhead to the Paria Canyon and over 500 feet (around 150m) deep at its confluence with the Paria River. There are places in the Buckskin where you are able to touch both canyon walls at the same time. Buckskin Gulch is a photographer's and hiker's Mecca. Every corner you turn is changing continuously; the cliffs are water-and-wind-sculpted patterns of colors, light and shadows. You may also marvel and puzzle at the meanings of the rock writings (petroglyphs) from the early Archaic period (some are as old as 9,000 years). It was voted one the top 10 hikes in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine a few years back.

    Amazing Adventure

    We had an incredible experience with Yermo through Seeking Treasures. From the start, he brought us to unique, off-the-beaten-path locations that we never would have discovered on our own. His knowledge of the area, its history, and hidden gems was truly impressive and added so much depth to the experience. What stood out just as much was his flexibility and calm adaptability—when our plans needed to shift, he adjusted smoothly and made sure the day still felt seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a meaningful, well-guided, and thoughtfully curated adventure.

    Middle access Buckskin gulch, almost

    What an adventure! Had a tour of the Wave in 2025 with Seeking Treasure Adventures and wanted more. Requested Jim our guide as he was deeply knowledgeable about the area and petroglyphs. Not to be disappointed, went in middle access to Buckskin gulch. Worked our way into the canyon, passing different petroglyphs. Got to the ancient moqi steps after squeezing down a slot. Some of the group pushed in the clutch on the last section of moqi steps into the canyon as it is quite sketchy decent. Didn't matter as the view and experience from just above last (near vertical) steep section was plenty of adventure. Definitely using Seeking Treasure Adventures again - having a guide brings so much more to the desert experience. Don't be afraid to ask for their recommendations for a unique trip!! And ask for Search and Rescue Jim!

    Shuttle service and expert advice

    Yermo provided a shuttle service for our Buckskin Gulch hike last weekend. He was on time and waited while we picked up our permit at the ranger station. His advice to take trekking poles through the 90+ pools and 10 pools with water waist deep saved us from disaster. He loaned us 8 poles that we forgot to bring with us, really a lifesaver. Started our first day at 8:50 am and set up camp at the end of the Buckskin at 10 PM in the dark. Two adults, two teens and one pre-teen. 25 miles including hike towards Lees Ferry. 100 degrees on the hike out to White House TH. Carry 5 liters per Yermo's advice. Spring located above the confluence with the Paria.

    This should be everyone's first call if visiting Northern Arizona/Southern Utah

    Yermo is the guy to call if you are near Page, AZ or Kanab, UT. He is extremely knowledgable about the landscape, trails, weather, things to do, and ways to maximize your time. I initially called Yermo to inquire about a shuttle from White House to Wire Pass trailhead for the purpose of hiking Buckskin Gulch. From the very beginning of my inquiry he gave me loads of information about the area before I had even booked with him. Because Buckskin Gulch can be a bit precarious based on weather and trail conditions, Yermo kept me updated on trail and weather reports almost every single day leading up to our hike and I always felt he had our safety in mind first. His outdoor and archeological experience in the area shines through in every conversation, and while we only used his shuttle service, I wouldn't hesitate to book him for a guided tour of literally anything in the area. If there is one resource of information northern Arizona/southern Utah, it's Yermo - call him. You'll be glad you did.

    If you like slot canyons, put this on your list!

    Great slot canyon! Interesting geology. Jeff was our guide and he was outstanding! He was very helpful with our group of seniors! (only one ladder) Because he grew up in this area he was very knowledgeable about history, geology, botany....... Great company Yermo has: Seeking Treasure Adventures. I will recommend our tours to friends for sure. Can't wait to show my photos of both trips with friends and family.

    Private Buckskin Gulch Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Page.

    How much does Private Buckskin Gulch Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $390 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Page usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Buckskin Gulch Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Page is not rushed.

    Is Private Buckskin Gulch Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Page, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Buckskin Gulch Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Buckskin Gulch Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Buckskin Gulch Tour?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Page can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Page and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Buckskin Gulch Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Page within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Page?

    +

    Page exists for two icons: guided Antelope Canyon slot tours, which are the only legal way in, and Horseshoe Bend overlooks, plus Lake Powell boat trips and Colorado River float runs. On Outty we rank every Page experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lower Antelope Canyon Hiking Tour, Navajo Dinner Theater, Hoop Dancing, and Native Storytelling, Secret Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend Overlook. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Page?

    +

    March to May and September to October; midday canyon slots are best for light beams. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Page?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
