Private Guided Hike through Peekaboo Slot Canyon
Best for: Travelers who want a simple private hiking experience with a short roundtrip route.
This tour is the most straightforward of the three: a private guided hike through Peekaboo Slot Canyon. The listed route is an easy 1.5-mile roundtrip walk, so it suits travelers who want to spend their time on foot rather than on vehicles or multiple activities. The tour note places the canyon near Kanab, about 10 miles north of town, and describes it as a quiet, off-the-beaten-path setting. Included support covers knowledgeable drivers and water plus snacks. It is a good fit for visitors who want a private, hiking-first outing with a focused canyon experience.

Peekaboo Slot Canyon Tour UTV and Hiking Adventure (Private)
Best for: Travelers who want a short private tour that combines off-road driving with a canyon hike.
This experience blends two activities into one private outing: off-road UTV travel and a hiking visit to Peekaboo Slot Canyon. The tour notes say the guide handles all the driving, so guests do not drive the vehicle themselves. It is described as a private tour to a public destination, and the notes add that groups are not usually combined except in limited cases. The included item listed is bottled water. Travelers who want a more active-feeling outing than a hike alone may appreciate the mix of riding and walking, especially if they prefer a guided format that keeps logistics simple.

Slot Canyon & Native American site UTV Adventure (Private)
Best for: Travelers who want a private UTV outing that includes both a slot canyon and an ancient Native American site.
This tour is the most specific of the three in terms of route content. It begins at the staging area for Peekaboo Slot Canyon, then uses a guided UTV ride to reach the slot canyon. Inside the canyon, the itinerary notes say guests can see the remains of an ancient Native American site. The tour is described as private, with guides handling the off-road driving, and bottled water is included. Compared with the other two options, this one is a strong match for travelers who want the canyon visit to include a second point of interest rather than focusing only on the hike or the ride itself.
