This canyon trip is unique in it's accessibility to canyoneers of all skill levels, including beginners. Think scenic canyon hiking, but the hike is intermingled with exciting rappels down water features. This trip has a little bit of everything- a good workout, a chance to learn new skills, and some free-hanging on ropes to get your adrenaline pumping. And all of it nestled in a beautiful desert setting that is otherwise inaccessible to the public.

We did a 1/2 day Canyoneering tour and it was so much fun! Daly our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Easy to meetup at Le Buzz and go to the Trailhead. The canyon was gorgeous, and while this is active it isn’t over the top. Daly gave great instructions as we moved through the canyon and did this different activities. VERY safety focused which I appreciated. As we hiked she told us about the Saguro and the other plants and the rocks and canyon. Skilled guide that really cares and put her heart into giving us a good time. Thank you! I recommend this is you are looking to do something active in Tucson.

A heat wave hit Tucson early and it was too hot to go canyoneering, so Ben set me up with rappelling and rock climbing instead. My guide, Aaron, was awesome. Super laid back, but knowledgeable and safety-focused. He helped me get past the edge of my comfort zone without putting any real pressure on me. The climbing was terrific and the scenery was stunning.

We had such an amazing time on our private tour with Daly! She was so knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable since we had never been canyoneering before. It was the best birthday trip for my boyfriend. Definitely makes us want to try out more climbing trips. Highly recommend!

Excellent day! The canyon was beautiful, the rappelling was a blast, and our guide Daly was amazing! She was fun, safe, and had a wealth of knowledge on the area. It was a great trip.

I did a half day tour with my girlfriend. Will be an experience we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Not for the faint of heart (we are city folk - take it with a grain of salt)! It was our first time canyoneering and to say the least it can be a bit of an intimidating experience. Our guide Daly was excellent, professional, informative, and guided us through every step of the way. She was a natural guide and taught us many things beyond canyoneering from natural wildlife to history of the city. If you have the willpower, it can be truly worth it and can see some amazing sights that wouldn't be available otherwise. Recommendations: - Bring very good hiking/rock climbing shoes - Bring enough water & sunscreen - Big backpacks are not the way to go (will be squeezing through rocks)

Aaron was a fantastic guide. He was fun and professional. I joined another family and he took care of our 4 person small group really well. The Tanque Verde Canyon was scenic and had great technical areas that anyone could do.

We had no idea what to expect when we signed up for this tour. It was so exhilarating and fun! My husband and I are in our sixty’s and still enjoy challenging ourselves. Aaron did a great job of instructing us each step of the way during the day. Between mountain goating and rappelling, he was very good at making sure we were safe and comfortable the whole time. The day was filled with beautiful sites and heart pumping activities. Thanks again Aaron! 😎

100% recommend and would do it again! Communication from Ben the owner a few days before the trip and from our guide was awesome. Easy meet up point and drive to the trail head. Our guide Aaron was the best! Friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. We have never done anything like this before and he made us all feel super comfortable. Love the fact that it is private with just your group. Our group consisted of myself, husband and our two kids who are 20 and 15.

This was beyond an amazing experience - My guide Daly was amazing - cannot recommend this tour + Daly enough! 12/10, you do not want to miss this.
