Guided hiking day · Kanab, Utah
A guided day from Kanab to White Pocket in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, with lunch included and a walk on the swirled sandstone. Pick it if you want the meal taken care of and a slightly shorter day than the other two White Pocket tours.
Same destination, different trade. The listing title promises a hiking tour of White Pocket with lunch, over 7 hours from Kanab. That is an hour shorter than the small-group tour and the only one of the three where food is in the title, so you don't need to pack more than water, sunscreen and a camera.
The price is $225 in 2026, $42 more than the small-group tour. It has fewer reviews behind it than that tour. A smaller sample isn't a bad sign. It just tells you less.
White Pocket needs no permit, but it needs the right vehicle: the BLM says roads away from House Rock Valley Road generally need a high-clearance 4x4 because of deep sand. That drive eats a good part of any White Pocket day, this one included. And nothing here gets you into The Wave, which stays a BLM lottery permit for every hiker.
The day starts in Kanab, Utah and heads east on US-89 before turning onto dirt.
House Rock Valley Road, then the sand tracks across the Paria Plateau. Slow going, and the reason you want someone else driving.
A guided walk over the domes and swirls. There is no marked trail, so the guide picks the route.
Lunch is part of the listing, which leaves you free to carry only water and a camera.
Back over the sand and onto the highway, inside the 7 hours.

Yes, lunch is in the listing title. It is the only one of the three White Pocket tours on this site that says so.
The listing gives 7 hours from Kanab, an hour shorter than the other two White Pocket tours. A good part of that is the drive on dirt and sand.
Its feedback is good, from a smaller sample than the small-group tour. If track record matters most to you, that one has more of it.
No tour can. Every Wave hiker needs a BLM permit from the advance or daily lottery on recreation.gov. White Pocket needs no permit, which is why tours go there.
