Our guide, Malcolm, was the best guide. Secret Canyon was an excellent experience and relatively quiet compared to the more touristy slot canyons. The only thing we missed was being in an open air vehicle in spite of the cool morning.

There were four of us along with our tour guide Malcolm. It was so peaceful, relaxing, and majestic. It exceeded our expectations ten fold. I could not have asked for a better experience. Kudos to Malcom and the tour company.

Oh. My. AMAZING! We were on the first tour of the day. Clint, our guide, provided abundant information, picture suggestions and tips, AND gave us a private flute concert in the middle of the canyon. One of my favorite life moments! TOTALLY worth it! Do NOT miss this experience!
