The Narrows
The Narrows is Zion National Park’s most unique and immersive hike, where the trail is the river. This slot canyon adventure offers endless beauty at every turn, from narrow corridors just 20’ wide to open chambers glowing with reflected sunlight. After the scenic 1-mile paved Riverside Walk, you’ll wade through the Virgin River, surrounded by towering sandstone walls that rise 1,000’ overhead, hanging gardens, and Mystery Falls. Water height varies, with many areas below the knee, but some sections that are waist-deep for most adults.

Zion Canyon Shuttle
Following the hike we'll ride the shuttle back to the Zion National Park Visitors Center and return the Narrows Gear kits.

Beautiful, Amazing Scenery Around every Twist and Turn
Tammy was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable! Worth the morning wake up and drive, breathe taking scenery!

Kelsey did an excellent...
Kelsey did an excellent job on our tour. So glad to have her guidance going through the Narrows. She was also very knowledgeable about the area and the hike.
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed your Narrows tour! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Happy Trails!

The narrows are great.
Great hike. Going before the crowds was great but a little chilly in the water but it was fine. You can probably do this hike on your own without a guide but it gave us piece of mind to have someone with us.

Kelsey is a star!
Our guide Kelsey was a pleasure. She contacted us via text the day before to give us directions and to let us know what to expect and where to go. She was knowledgeable and friendly and totally enhanced our experience. She took tons of photos that she shared with us so we could be fully present for the experience. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed the tour! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review!

Best Hike!
Wow! What an amazing experience and hike. When we first settled on The Mighty 5 we knew hiking The Narrows was something we wanted to explore as a family! Our guide Tammy from Explore Zion Tours was amazing! She prepared us the day before the hike. We knew exactly what to expect and how the day was going to go. We got to experience quite a bit thanks to her expertise and knowledge. I would recommend this tour group without a doubt!!!
Response from the operator: The Narrows is definitely a bucket list hike, and we feel lucky to be part of your experience. Thank you for choosing us and taking the time to leave a review!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zion National Park.
How much does Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+) cost?
+
Prices start at $309 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zion National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+) take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Zion National Park is not rushed.
Is Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zion National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+)?
+
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 Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+)?
+
Around 4 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 Zion National Park 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 Zion National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Narrows Hike at Zion National Park (Discounts Groups 4+) 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 Zion National Park 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 Zion National Park?
+
Zion trips centre on the Narrows and Angels Landing, canyoneering in slot canyons, e-bike rides along the scenic drive and Bryce Canyon combination days. Permit handling and gear rental inclusions are the biggest quality differences here. On Outty we rank every Zion National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Award Winning UTV Slot Canyon Tour, East Zion 4 Hour Slot Canyon Canyoneering UTV Tour, East Zion Crimson Canyon Hike & UTV Adventure. 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 Zion National Park?
+
April to May and September to October. Summer means early starts. 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 Zion National Park?
+
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.
