Virgin River Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This is a very special tour with limited pollution from other tourists. The locals love it up here, See Zion from the top down. A great private tour with plenty of knowledge,

Big shout out to the best tour guide ever. Kyle was great, patient, accommodating, knowledgeable and made my adventure unforgettable.

Loved this experience so much! If you're a space geek or just love staring at the stars but don't much about them, this is for you! The location is unmatched - A true dark sky area where you can easily appreciate the milky way, see tons of shooting stars (at least we did!), and learn about constellations, planets, and galaxies/other things outside of our solar system. The bean bags, blanket, binoculars, and beverage station are such a thoughtful touch. There are also about 7-8 telescopes set up already locked on certain stars, galaxies, etc for you to view. 10/10, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience. Definitely worth the time and money. Great guides, lots of telescopes. Bean bags to lay on. Stories. Pictures. Perfect night!!!

... Or do we gaze at the stars because we are human? So I've always been prone to getting a little existential when I look up at the vastness of the night sky. At risk of sounding sentimental though, this tour changed something in me. I had such a profoundly memorable experience stargazing with Brax and Dev! They did a wonderful job of blending knowledgeable fun facts with delightfully relatable storytelling. They answered all our silly questions, guided us to beautiful sights in the telescope, and somehow managed to teach about the science of binary stars, clusters, and nebulas all while sharing tales of vain Ethiopian queens, jealous Greek gods, or local Native American folklore. You could tell our guides had carefully cultivated this special space, and it all added up to a lovely relaxing evening which channeled my earlier existentialism into curiosity, wonder, and a sense of belonging with the rest of the human family. Stellar experience, highly recommended 👌🤩

We knew little to nothing about the stars or constellations and learned soo much in just an hour. Devyn, our expert star guide, explained everything well and we loved hearing the stories behind everything! It was the perfect way to end our trip at Zion. Comparably affordable as well, we couldn’t pass it up!

This was such an amazing experience!! The guides Braxton and Devyn were so knowledgeable, professional, and fun ! We felt very safe and informed of what we were about to do. The pricing was very reasonable for such a memorable experience, and we got some awesome pictures (that they enthusiastically took without us asking!) to look back on. Overall, I had a great time and can’t wait to do it again !

Braxton is the best guide! He is very knowledgeable, kind, and personable. And the stars were incredible!

It is too short 🤭. We are booking the 2 hour flight the next time. It was great!! Our first helicopter ride ❤️❤️❤️

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.

Super fun. Great way to store of the park! I’m usually scared to fly in small aircraft but this wasn’t scary at all.

Really cool experience. Great guides. Amazing scenery. If we would have understood the options we would have done the 'eye of the needle' canyoneering in combo with the Via. This way you would get a really neat experience rappelling into the bottom of the canyon but you would still get most of the Via Ferrata experience on the way back up the canyon.

Ostrich did a amazing job giving my family and I a great view over the park. He helped calm my nephew down who was anxious about his first helicopter ride. The handle trick really helped calm him down to the point he is ready for another tour and longer this time. Thank you guys so much for a great experience.

Really enjoyed the trip. Great views of the park. Only downside was I only booked the half hour. Longer flight next time.

It you do not have time to expend all day in this park, this tour is an option to see Zion. Even having time, see Zion from above is superb. Our pilot was great, very patient and explained the views. Those views were out of this world…

Great views, an excellent way to see the beauty of Zion. Would definitely recommend, we took the one hour tour.
