Which Zion Tour From Las Vegas Is Right for You?
Six Las Vegas departures compared on the one thing that separates them: how long you actually spend inside Zion Canyon. Prices, ratings, itineraries and park fees.
If Zion itself is why you are making the trip, book the small-group day trip with lunch — at $138 it is the cheapest tour here and it spends the most time in the canyon, close to three hours on foot. Everything else on this page is a better answer to a different question.

The one number that separates these tours
Every Las Vegas departure to Zion is roughly twelve hours long and roughly five of those hours are spent driving. What changes between tours is how the remaining time is spent — and that ranges from forty minutes to nearly three hours inside Zion Canyon. Two tours can carry the same photograph of the Watchman and deliver completely different days.
| Tour | Price | Length | Reviews | Time in Zion | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zion Small Group with Lunch | $138 | 12 hours | 4.7 · 84 | ~2h50 on foot | Zion as the whole point |
| Zion Hiking Lover Day Trip | $179 | 12 hours | 4.8 · 55 | 4 in-park stops | Walkers who want the canyon floor |
| Bryce & Zion Scenic Day | $219 | 13 hours | 4.7 · 1,197 | ~40 minutes | Seeing two parks in one day |
| Grand Canyon, Antelope, Horseshoe Bend & Zion | $350 | 2 days | 4.9 · 409 | Half-day, day two | Four landmarks, one trip |
| Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce & Zion | $590 | 3 days | 4.7 · 257 | A full park day | Value across four parks |
| Grand Canyon, Zion & Monument Valley | $875 | 3 days | 4.8 · 280 | A full park day | Monument Valley at sunrise |
Prices are per person and were the live GetYourGuide figures when this guide was written; ratings and review counts move slightly day to day.
Pick by what matters most
If you want the most time inside Zion Canyon
The small-group day trip — 40 minutes at the Visitor Center, 90 minutes on the Canyon Overlook Trail, 40 minutes on the Riverside Walk. Nothing else at this price gets close, and the group is capped at thirteen. Our breakdown →
If you would rather be walking than looking out of a window
The Hiking Lover day trip threads four separate in-park stops together: the Mount Carmel Tunnel viewpoint, Temple of Sinawava at the top of the scenic drive, fifty minutes on the Riverside Walk, and the Pa’rus Trail near Canyon Junction Bridge. It rates highest of the day trips at 4.8. Lunch is not included. Our breakdown →
If you want to see Bryce Canyon as well
The Bryce & Zion scenic day is the most-booked tour here by a factor of fourteen, and it earns that: a custom Mercedes Sprinter, ninety minutes on the Bryce rim including the Navajo Trail descent, and lunch overlooking the hoodoos. Be clear-eyed about the trade — Zion gets a ten-minute photo stop at Checkerboard Mesa and half an hour at the Visitor Center. Our breakdown →
If you have two days and want the greatest hits
The Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Zion tour is the highest-rated Zion-inclusive departure from Las Vegas at 4.9 across 409 reviews. A hotel night in Page is included; the $87 Lower Antelope Canyon ticket is not. Our breakdown →
If you want the lowest cost per landmark
The three-day Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce and Zion loop at $590 includes every park entrance fee — unusual at this price — plus two hotel nights and a guide who works in your language for the whole trip. Our breakdown →
If Monument Valley is on your list
Only the three-day Grand Canyon, Zion and Monument Valley tour includes it, with a 90-minute Navajo-guided jeep tour timed for sunrise. Choose camping or a 3-star hotel at booking. Our breakdown →
Know before you book
Non-US residents pay extra at the gate, and almost no tour includes it. Since 1 January 2026 the National Park Service charges non-US residents aged 16 and over a $100 per-person surcharge at Zion, Bryce Canyon and nine other parks, waived only if you hold the $250 America the Beautiful Non-Resident Annual Pass — which covers up to four adults on one commercial-tour reservation. Check the “not included” list before you book. Our day-trip guide explains how operators are handling it.
Utah is an hour ahead of Nevada. The drive crosses from Pacific into Mountain time, so a 6 AM Las Vegas pickup is 7 AM by the time you reach the park. It makes no difference to a guided tour, which absorbs it, but it catches out self-drivers planning a sunrise.
The shuttle season decides what you can reach. From 7 March to 28 November 2026 the Zion Canyon Scenic Drive is closed to private vehicles and the free park shuttle is the only way to Temple of Sinawava, the Grotto and the trailheads above them. Tours build it into their timings.
“Day trip” does not mean a day in Zion. It means twelve hours away from your hotel, about five of them on I-15. That is the honest arithmetic behind every tour on this page.
Free cancellation is standard, and worth using. Every tour listed here can be cancelled without charge up to 24 hours before departure, and several let you reserve now and pay later. In a region where an afternoon storm can close a trail with no notice, that flexibility is the point.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Zion tour from Las Vegas?
For most people the small-group day trip with lunch, at $138. It is the cheapest tour on this page and spends the most time inside Zion Canyon — roughly two hours and fifty minutes on foot across the Visitor Center, Canyon Overlook Trail and Riverside Walk. If you want two parks rather than one, the Bryce and Zion scenic day is the better choice.
Which Zion tour from Las Vegas is cheapest?
The small-group day trip at $138 per person, which includes hotel pickup, a deli lunch and park admission for US residents. A one-way shared shuttle between Las Vegas and Zion is cheaper still at around $105, but it is transport rather than a guided tour.
Is a Bryce and Zion day trip worth it?
Yes, if you understand what you are buying. The two-park day gives Bryce Canyon ninety minutes, including the Navajo Trail through the hoodoos, and Zion about forty minutes. Nearly 1,200 travellers have rated it 4.7, so it delivers what it promises — it just promises two parks lightly rather than one park properly.
How many days do I need for Zion from Las Vegas?
One day is enough to see Zion Canyon properly if you book a tour that spends its time in the park rather than driving between parks. Two or three days makes sense only if you want to add the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Bryce Canyon or Monument Valley — the multi-day loops exist for the region, not for Zion alone.
Do Zion tours from Las Vegas include hotel pickup?
Every day trip here does, though coverage varies. The Bryce and Zion scenic day collects from seventeen Las Vegas hotels, the small-group Zion day trip from eleven, and the hiking-focused day trip from six. You select your pickup point at checkout and are returned to the same place.
Are park entrance fees included in the tour price?
For US residents, generally yes — admission is bundled in. For non-US residents the 2026 surcharge is excluded from almost every tour, so budget either $100 per person or a shared $250 non-resident annual pass. The three-day Grand Canyon, Antelope, Bryce and Zion loop is the exception worth noting: it includes all four park entrances in the ticket.
Which tour has the most reviews?
The Bryce and Zion scenic day, with close to 1,200 reviews at a 4.7 average — more than the other five tours on this page combined. Review volume is a fair proxy for operational reliability; it is not a proxy for how much of the day you spend in Zion.
See Zion Without Driving 320 Miles Yourself
Hotel pickup on the Strip, a small group capped at 13, two guided trails and lunch in the canyon. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure.
