What an exhilarating morning we had with Mike Dunn, owner of Sundial Guiding. We booked a 3-hour canyoneering adventure through Under Canvas (Lake Powell-Grand Staircase), and it was the highlight of our trip!Mike saw more in my husband and me than we saw in ourselves. We didn't realize our alter egos were Tom Cruise and Sporty Spice! While I initially thought I had signed us up for an easy-to-moderate hike, Mike delivered a truly transformative experience. He guided us through stunning slot canyons, showed us ancient petroglyphs, and crushed cars!The absolute highlight was the three rappels. With Mike’s expertise, clear instructions, and constant encouragement, we felt completely safe while getting our adrenaline fix. We left with a massive sense of accomplishment and a "heck yeah, we really just did that!" feeling.If you want a guide who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and knows how to push you just the right amount, book with Mike. Five stars isn't enough!

Went on a girls weekend trip and booked a canyoneering tour through the slot canyons with Sundial Guiding. Mike was our guide and was excellent! We misunderstood the time change and he was kind without a word frustration when we arrived 40 minutes late. My friends and I had the best time. I’ve been rappelling on several other tours and Mike was the best guide I’ve had.

We had fantastic time with guide Mike and his furry assistant. Our first time repelling and we loved it from start to finish. Mike made it informative, reasonably challenging and very safe at the same time. Instructions were clear, jokes were funny, timing was perfect. A must do experience if you’re visiting the area.

A repelling adventure was on my 61 year old wife's bucket list. So I booked an adventure with Canyoneering near Lake Powell. We met up with our Guide Jared at 8am. I am a 64 year old man with Parkinson's disease that causes me to have balance issues and I am not thrilled with heights. Jarod thoroughly explained everything and made us feel totally at ease. We had never repelled before and my wife was a little apprehensive at the first repell so I went first. After seeing how much I enjoyed it she was ready to go. There were four repells to get through the canyon with each one longer than the previous one. We had a blast and wished we could do more. Very fun. Jarod was an excellent guide. The only negative was the hot hike through the hot desert back to our parking spot. Highly recommend this company and we are ready to go again.

We did a canyoneering excursion with Jared. We had no experience coming in but were excited to try something new. It did not disappoint. Jared was super friendly and a great instructor. We felt comfortable and able to complete several repels, the last one was an add-on, for anyone who feels comfortable, at nearly 80 feet! Spectacular scenery and Jared shared a lot of great information about the area as we navigated the canyon. He made the experience unforgettable. Anyone with any level of proficiency would enjoy this trip. We highly recommend!

We had a great time canyoneering with Mike! He was super knowledgeable, made us feel safe at all times and really made our experience exciting and memorable. It was only three of us, including two teenagers who were fit and agile, so we finished our circuit ahead of schedule. Instead of going home (which he totally could have chosen to do) Mike extended our adventure and introduced us to a new circuit he had discovered himself . As a result, he added 4 extra rappels and the most fun and challenging part of the adventure as a bonus. We got to explore a whole new beautiful canyon with stunning vistas . Mike was amazing at explaining how to navigate it (it was certainly a more challenging itinerary) , at predicting each step and providing clear and calm guidance . Amazing experience!! We were delighted with Mikes knowledge and his great climbing stories and recommend Mike and the canyoneering adventure near Lake Powell hands down.

Trip was fun and yet very obtainable for someone who has never canyoneer'd before. Appreciated the photos and the guides ability to make it safe.

A fantastic experience for first-time canyoneers! Jared at Sundial Guiding was an awesome guide. He offered great tips that empowered our tweens to take on exciting drops and climbs. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are grateful for this opportunity. Don’t hesitate—book it!

Our adventure with guide Jared was outstanding. He met us at a designated point off the highway and near the slot canyon site.We were a group of two couples (all in our 60s) who had each rappelled one time before. Jared made sure we we safely equipped, understood how the gear worked, and what to expect. He was thorough but not overbearing in his presentation.This adventure hike included 4 rappels that increased in length from 15’ to near 100’ (or it seemed like it). Your journey includes scrambles over rocks in the slot canyon. Our day included huge puddles of mud and quicksand in on the trek, with some thought out leaps of faith to avoid a mud bath. With the weather being drizzly, we got a bit of mud on us - it added to the adventure. Once done in the slot canyon, you hike out to what would be the edge of the high water level of Lake Powell. From that point Jarad had us scramble up a large, smooth and rounded 120+ foot rock face where we posed for a group photo. You then hike back across the desert along paths that lead you back to the starting point about 2.5 hours from the start.If you want an excellent time, give this non-advaced, yet physically exerting adventure a go. You are safe being guided by Jared and will feel very enriched by your time spent with him.

Jared was a great tour guide. Super fun hike into the canyon. Jared made an intimidating decent very approachable Super fun. Highly recommend this unique experience

We had a great time canyoneering with Jared. The views were amazing and we learned so much about the area’s geology and history. We were lucky to go during rainy season so that there was some water at the bottom of the rappels, making the experience extra exciting. We appreciated the flexibility to move our tour up a few hours and avoid the afternoon thunderstorms.

Canyoneering with Mike is amazing, he’s charming, funny and very knowledgeable, sharing his expertise on rappelling skills and facts and history about the area. 10/10 would recommend!! I’ll be back to adventure with Mike and Sundial Guides again!

We came to Page to visit Lake Powell/Antelope Canyon but ended up finding Sundial and signing up for a half day of technical canyoneering, which was way cooler than I could’ve imagined and arguably the BEST part of our Utah trip!! Mike was our guide and he was incredible. My friends and I are all pretty scared of heights but he made us feel so comfortable and safe. The canyon itself was stunning and we had it all to ourselves, unlike the crowds at Antelope, which we had visited the day before. If you’re in the area this is a MUST DO and ask for Mike!!
