Top Arizona Day Trips - page 4

This was a fun and informative trip. Most all of the travelers on our trip would have preferred more time at Tortilla Flats and Goldfield Ghost Town and less at the Elvis Chapel and Museum area. We barely had time to get some food and no time to explore either place. The Dolly Steamboat was a fun and relaxing experience and the Captain was quite entertaining. Our driver gave us lots on historical facts and flora and fauna information.

It was the most amazing experience. The pictures are remarkable a photographers dream. We had this nice Indian older lady who captured all the unique designs in the canyon walls on our phone cameras for us. It was way worth the money. I would highly recommend doing it with Your company.

Visiting Antelope Canyon was absolutely breathtaking—one of those places that truly lives up to the hype. The way the sunlight filters through the narrow sandstone walls creates the most incredible glow, with colors shifting from deep reds to soft oranges and even purples depending on the time of day. Walking through the canyon feels almost unreal, like stepping into a natural work of art carved over thousands of years. The smooth, wave-like formations and tight passageways make every turn feel like a new photo opportunity. If you catch it at the right time, the famous light beams shining down are simply magical. The guided tour adds a lot to the experience too. Learning about the history, geology, and cultural significance from Navajo guides makes it more meaningful and helps you appreciate just how special this place is. Overall, Antelope Canyon is a must-see if you’re in Arizona—peaceful, stunning, and unlike anywhere else. Just be sure to book ahead and bring your camera… you’ll definitely want to capture every moment!

Marc was a wonderful and gracious driver and guide for our day trip. He was full of knowledge and very entertaining. Took care of our every need. It was a very long day, but definitely worth the trip. Highly recommend this tour and him if you can get him as your guide.

Super fun 40 minute ride over the canyon! Great views and it was a recorded narration over the canyon. The only drawback is that the plane holds many people and they assign seating, meaning a window seat is not guaranteed. However, you will still be able to see well even in one towards the middle. Would do again. Office was welcoming and had a gift shop. Plenty of parking.

Our tour guide (Cyra??) was fabulous, a wealth of information and history, she provided clear instructions. We felt like "kids in a candy store" as the views were so stunning. As a family, in lieu of xmas presents, we do experiences .... and this experience was truly magnificent. Merry Christmas to us!

Traveling during their low season was great, more flexible schedule. Our drive/guide, Sam, was fantastic! So knowledgeable about the tribes, geology, hiking trails, places to visit and eat. The company partnered with Dixie’s (Navajo) to access the slot canyon. Groups of 15 people. Eli, our guide, shared history of this land/canyon; helped us take awesome pictures; played his Navajo Flute in the canyon (beautiful music).

Maverick Helicopters were such a friendly, professional business. From the courteous check in staff to our amazing pilot , Dylan, we had a wonderful experience!! The ride was smooth and safe, full of knowledge and great information about the canyon. Overall- two thumbs up!!
