    About this experience

    We will get you away from the crowds so that you can experience the solitude and beauty that is expected when traveling to Zion. Learn the geological history of the area and how Zion was formed as well as the human history of the area's inhabitants including the native people and the pioneers who settled here. After you ride the park's shuttle and experience Zion from within the canyon on your own, come with us to get a whole new perspective and view the Park from above. We visit the Kolob Terrace portion of Zion. This area is lesser known and therefore, less visited than the main part of the park. The elevation is higher and the temperature is cooler. The views are amazing and there are never any crowds to deal with. Our tours are 100% private (your group is the only one) and customizable to suit your interests. We can also adjust for physical limitations or change it up to make it more kid-friendly. Our goal is to make your visit here truly unforgettable.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Kolob Terrace Road

      The Kolob Terrace portion of Zion National Park is higher in elevation than the main part of the park. It is not as well known to tourists so it allows you to experience the grandeur of Zion away from the crowds. It gives you a unique opportunity to look down on Zion National Park from above.

    2. Grafton

      Grafton is the most photographed ghost town in the West for a reason, it's beautiful. We will tell you the harrowing story of the people who settled this town. Their story is more interesting than any of the movies filmed here, the most well-known being "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." If you prefer to do more hiking or viewpoints on Kolob Terrace we may not have time for this stop but this is somewhere you can reach on your own and will give you directions if you decide to go later by yourself.

    Amazing Virws

    I have been into Zion many times but did not realize how large it was. I got to see the back side of Zion and views I could not have seen otherwise. The ghosttown, Grafton, was a great stop. The guides had such great knowledge and we're very informative.

    Awkward

    After 15 minutes I asked to go back, The first thing her adult son said was mom used to be a dancer, ?? Candace talks with her hands, no hands on the wheel, after going over the line a few times the wife looked concerned, I thought it’s okay but then off the shoulder,I said I didn’t feel good and wanted to return. A lot of small talk not much information, might be ok if you’re not a nervous Nelly

    Lots to see

    The scenery was beautiful and our tour guides very knowledgeable. Not sure it was worth $200/ea, because we had other tours that we enjoyed more. The views were spectacular!

    Candace and Hunter were extremely knowledgeable and were very considerate and kind in accommodating our tour. They showed us everything important and related its significance and importance based upon their extensive knowledge. We wouldn't have changed a thing on this tour.

    Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Virgin River usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Virgin River is not rushed.

    Is Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Virgin River, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing 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 Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing Tour?

    +

    Around 30 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 Virgin River 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 Virgin River and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Zion National Park/Kolob Terrace Private 1/2 Day Sightseeing 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 Virgin River 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 Virgin River?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Virgin River experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half-Day Canyoneering near Zion, Stargazing in Zion National Park's International Dark Sky, Zion After Dark Stargazing and Smores Experience. 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 Virgin River?

    +

    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 Virgin River?

    +

    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.
