Amazing Stars with Hon! - We loved our trip! Hon is amazing at what he does. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The jeep ride, views, S’mores, and night sky was amazing! Small group, great for kids and family. Perfect length of time. Definitely recommend Hon and his tour!

Great Hour of Stargazing! - We had a wonderful time and even saw a shooting star! Our guide, Han, was very knowledgeable and welcomed questions. Watch for deer as you drive to and from the meeting point!

Very cool experience - My husband and I recently attended the East Zion Dark Sky Stargazing Tour through East Zion Adventures, with Oliver as our guide. Due to another group’s last minute cancellation, it ended up being just the two of us on the tour. We were greeted with hot cocoa and blankets and taken to a large viewing platform a short distance away from the property and resort lights. Even despite traces of cloud cover and a particularly bright moon, there was still so much to see and Oliver did a great job of clearly directing us to points of interest. It was such a treat to enjoy an unexpected private experience, and we were so grateful to Oliver for all of the amazing knowledge, history, and stories he shared with us. It was so evident how genuinely passionate Oliver is about Zion and all it has to offer, he definitely made the trip for us!

Stargazing near Zion - Amazing experience! Blankets, hot chocolate, telescopes and lucky for us a perfect stargazing night. Our guide told stories about the constellations as we lay on our blankets - Then we were able to see the rings of Saturn through the telescope.
