Your Safety Is Our Zion Canyoneering Guides Top Priority

in order to have fun, we must be safe

Here at All Ways Adventure, our guest’s safety is always at the forefront of everything we do. We want you to feel comfortable and confident that we do all we can to ensure that you have a safe and fun excursion. Before each outing, we go over a wilderness safety briefing and make sure everyone is ready to have a great experience.


For our rope-based adventures, canyoneering and rock climbing, we always do a safety briefing with you and double-check all of the technical climbing gear. We use ropes that are top-rated and hold 5,000 pounds, they are inspected upwards of 10-15 times per day.


Our skilled guides meet and exceed medical wilderness safety, vehicle recovery and repair, and vertical rope rescue training standards and are there to not only guide you but to answer any questions you may have and to make sure you have a fun and safe adventure. Don’t hesitate to check in with us throughout your trip.
