    1. Zion National Park panoramic helicopter flight

    5.0· 24 reviews· 50 min

    Aerial views of Zion National Park and Canaan Mountain Wilderness on a scenic helicopter flight.

    The pilot was excellent and provided a lot of information. However, the downside was that the back window of the helicopter offered a restricted view, especially for those seated in the middle when there were four people in the back.cladp2023

  3. Virgin River tubing adventure near Zion National Park, Virgin River6

    6. Virgin River tubing adventure near Zion National Park

    4.1· 34 reviews· 1.3 hours

    Two to four hours on the Virgin River — tubing in scenic surroundings, with transportation back to the meeting point included. Suitable for ages 12 and up.

    Floating down the river was an enjoyable experience for us. I highly recommend wearing water shoes, although they are available for use. You are responsible for guiding yourself along the river, and the sticks provided by the company are quite helpful. It was an ideal way to relax on a warm day.CaitG41
