PERMITS

We partner exclusively with top-rated, permitted local outfitters, supporting local communities while ensuring an authentic and compliant experience. Many of our partner outfitters have earned Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards, reflecting consistent 5-star guest reviews.

All guided tours are operated by BLM-authorized outfitters holding the required Commercial Use Authorizations (CUAs). We coordinate directly with these permitted operators to ensure proper compliance, safety, and a seamless guest experience.

Please note: while your lottery permit authorizes access to The Wave, any guided group or private excursion must be conducted by a guide authorized by the BLM.

Obtaining a permit is a required part of this experience. Detailed information on how to apply can be found [here].

DAILY LOTTERY

Another choice is the Daily Lottery, where you can submit an application for a daily permit up to two days before your planned trip date via Recreation.gov. To apply, you'll need to utilize a mobile device and be
within the geofenced area encompassing greater Kanab, UT, and Page, AZ. Those who win permits must retrieve them in person the day before the hike, either in Kanab, UT, or Page, AZ.

OUR LOCAL PARTNERS MAY BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DAILY LOTTERY IN YOUR STEAD.

PERMITS ARE NEVER GUARANTEED.

Generally speaking, the least popular months for the Wave lottery tend to be during the winter months, particularly December, January, and February. During these months, colder temperatures and potential
snowfall in the region may deter some visitors, resulting in fewer entries into the lottery and potentially better odds of winning a permit. Additionally, the summer months of June, July, and August can also see lower participation due to the intense heat in the desert Southwest.

A Neutral, Best-Fit Approach

Because we operate as an independent, licensed travel agency, we remain neutral by design. This allows us to evaluate each guest’s goals—photography experience, hiking ability, timing, group size, and overall expectations—and place them with the outfitter best suited for that specific experience.

Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all solution, our role is to match guests with the right local expert, ensuring the highest level of safety, access, and overall satisfaction. This flexible approach benefits both our guests and our partners, and allows each experience to be tailored—not templated.
