Traveler reviews
Experience of a lifetime!
This horseback riding has been great and very real experience for me. The trail that they take you on is full of thrill and wow moments, full of pretty views of the Zion National Park. The guides were very friendly and horses seed very well trained.
Super tour ! Very accomodating!
My 14 yr olddaughter had an excellent experience, she really enjoyed the horse ride and tour! My 8yr old son however was too scared and regretfully he had to stay back. But East Zion Adventures were super and refunded my sons and my ticket as well.
A real day in the west suitable for all riders regardless of experience!
Unbelievable experience! I’ve owned horses on my Kentucky farm for most of my life and enjoy riding. However, I’ve never experienced such amazing views while sitting on a horse. Up and down the switchbacks requires some attention with in between, eyes wide open in amazement of God’s incredible handiwork all around you if you choose this ride. The two young lady wranglers were right on point encouraging both experienced and new riders to trust the horse. They even learned everyone’s name and spoke to each rider multiple times getting to know each one. This was a real day in the west that will not disappoint!
Must-Do Horseback Ride!
My wife & I had an Amazing time on this horseback ride led by Rissa & Madi. The views were breathtaking and the ride was so much fun. We would definitely do this again and would highly recommend. Thank you Rissa & Madi!
What a great day in the west!
My wife and I have had horses on our Kentucky for 33 years but riding in Kentucky isn’t the same as a day in the west at such a scenic place. This was an adventure right out of a Clint Eastwood movie. Coming out of the pines to see a majestic view of a canyon while riding on switchback narrow trails the horse knew lfrom memory. This is where any rider learns to trust the horse! Our wranglers, Maggie and Rissa, were skilled and entertaining leading with confidence and humor. Both managed to learn every riders name and called out several times asking how we were doing. My horse, Cotton, was friendly and responsive carefully choosing every step up and down the mountain side. Don’t forget to snap a few pics during any pause or saddle check. Checkerboard Messa pops up toward the end with great beauty so enjoy!
