- 9 Village Loop Drive - This hike is often considered the best in the world. The trail offers a stunning view of the sunset throughout the journey, and the perfect spot to watch it will be chosen based on the hiker’s ability. Dinner features the renowned Canyon Chicken Wrap at the finest dining location on Earth, offering the best cuisine in the Grand Canyon, both above and below the rim. Witness the Golden Hour before sunset, when the canyon’s colors truly come alive. After dinner and soaking in the canyon’s beauty, the hike continues to the perfect vantage point to admire the sunset’s pastels and the canyon’s striking shadows. This area is the widest and most breathtaking part of the Grand Canyon, known as “the heart of the canyon.” The operator will capture stunning photos throughout the trip. The final segment of the hike is enjoyed by headlamp at night, a favorite part of the journey for many, though there is an option to exit before dark. As dusk falls, wildlife emerges, and the group will search for scorpions using a black light. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so make the dream a reality.

Unforgettable adventure! - We had an unforgettable adventure trekking into the canyon on the sunset tour. Our guide Kevin was spectacular! He was well prepared, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to hike with. He let us set the pace (private tours rock!) and ensured we left the canyon smiling. Gear was top notch and clean. Snacks and dinner were PERFECT for the hike. Hat-tip for the frozen Gatorade. Highly recommended.

Great Experience with Only Grand Canyon Day Hikes - We had a great time with Only Grand Canyon Tours. After signing up, Jon prepped us well for what clothes to bring, what to expect, and our guide Kevin took care of the rest on our South Kaibab Trail hike. Kevin had all we needed- hiking poles, backpacks, plenty of water & snacks, Gatorade, and when we got to our picnic site near O’Neill’s Butte, the chicken wraps were delish. Also cool- we took extra time going back as the sun set to look for scorpions and appreciate the changing landscape. Kevin was also quite handy snapping great pics in addition to taking great care of us. We had a once in a lifetime experience and I cannot recommend this guided hike enough.

A must do tour! - This is an amazing tour. It was the highlight of our Grand Canyon visit. We took some amazing photos that will be family memories for years to come. Our tour guide Kevin was outstanding and extremely knowledgeable. I would give this tour 7 stars if I could. Absolute must do when visiting the Grand Canyon.

Best Hiking experience! - We had the most incredible time on this guided hike!! Kevin was so knowledgeable and patient. The company provided everything we could have needed-hiking poles, backpacks full of water, snacks and a frozen Gatorade. Lunch was great as well (totally prepared by Kevin on the trail). Our two boys (15 and 13) had no problems with the difficulty, in fact this was one of their most memorable hikes on our vacation.

Best option for family tour! So worth it!! - Absolutely incredible. I booked this tour with my husband and five kids (ages 7-15) and everyone loved it! Kevin and Christy were our tour guides and they were the best! We ran into Jon on the hike and he was great too! We did a handful of tours while visiting Sedona and my whole family agreed this one was the best. If I could only splurge on one experience this would be it.

So Glad We Booked This Hike! - We had the most incredible afternoon and evening hiking with Jon. Jon came prepared with our day packs, water and snacks. He also provided hiking poles and taught us how to use them. My kids are 18 and 13. We all loved it. It was our first time hiking. We did not know what to expect. We went on about a 5 hour hike and covered 6 miles. We saw many other hikers who lacked expertise and found themselves inside the canyon in improper attire with heavy backpacks and no water. Jon taught us how to hike safely and confidently. He also took the most beautiful photos of us. I am excited that we now have these incredible memories. The cost is so worth it. Do not use one of those big companies. Jon's number one focus is giving you the best and safest hike possible. He knows so much about the canyon, and he really cares about and puts so much effort into his work. Do not miss out. Book this hike. Thank you so much for this experience, Jon. We will not forget it.

Our sunset Grand Canyon Hike with Jon - Our hike with Jon was as epic as he said it would be. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the South Kaibab Trailhead. He supplied us with everything we needed (a backpack, snacks, water, hiking poles, and a headlamp) We hiked down to skeleton ridge which I understand was about 3 miles into the canyon. The views were incredible, we were the only people hiking down into the canyon at this at this time of day, everyone else was hiking out. Jon took lots of great pictures of us which was really nice, you can tell he has a passion for photography. His chicken wrap really is delicious like he says it is. If anyone wants to hike down into the canyon but is not comfortable going alone due to lack of experience or lack of equipment, I highly recommend this guided hike. The views were incredible. The sunset was epic. It was really fun hiking out of the canyon in the dark via headlamp. Jon was informative and encouraging the whole hike. We felt totally safe, and this hike was very much personalized to our physical abilities which is why this is a private hike. It was a lot of hard work going all the way to skeleton ridge and back up, but it was an experience I will remember forever. I will definitely recommend any family or friends going to the Grand Canyon try and meet up with Jon for this experience. My husband and I are not big hikers, but this hike definitely sparked something inside of us! Thank you Jon! Be safe out there!!!!!!

Once in a lifetime experience! - What an unbelievable experience! Our guide, Jon, was fantastic. He was prepared and prepared us for what was a great adventure. Jon was able to take us deeper into the canyon than I could ever imagine I was capable of doing. He made sure we had everything we needed and showed us techniques to make the hike easier. Jon was even helping others, several who were in serious distress.
The hike itself was breathtaking, a true natural marvel that should not be missed. If you get the opportunity, I strongly recommend you take this Sunset Hike. It is the best way to truly experience the Grand Canyon. And you get the world's best chicken wrap!
