Itinerary
Start your day with either prearranged hotel pickup in Phoenix (extra expense) or meet your pilot at Deer Valley Airport.
Receive an orientation to your plane and safety briefing, then put on the provided radio headset for MP3 narration in the air. You'll fly in either a Cessna Caravan or T207, both high-wing airplanes where every passenger has a window seat with unobstructed views. Enjoy informative narration from your pilot throughout your time in the air.
Begin with a scenic flight that takes you from Phoenix, over the Tonto National Forest and up the Verde Valley. Pass through Sedona to see its stunning Red Rock formations, then continue over the San Francisco Peaks, Painted Desert and Navajo Reservation before reaching the Grand Canyon.
Enjoy a 20-minute overflight of the Grand Canyon, soaring just 1,000 feet above the rim, the optimal distance for taking it all in. Then fly onward to Page, Arizona, situated on Lake Powell. Stop briefly in Page, then follow the shores of Lake Powell to Rainbow Bridge and Navajo Mountain as you make your way to Monument Valley.
Just a short drive from Monument Valley, your pilot lands at Gouldings Field, situated close to the Utah-Arizona border. Transfer to a 4-wheel drive vehicle to explore the Navajo Tribal Park by land, taking in the dramatic rock formations of the Colorado Plateau. Your Navajo guide provides insights into Navajo culture and traditions during your 1.5-hour ground tour.
Afterward, return to Gouldings Trading Post and head into the lodge for a delicious lunch that features Navajo tacos. Have time to check out the museum or gift shop before returning to Phoenix on your plane. Your full-day tour ends with return to your starting point at the end of approximately eight hours.

Absolutely wonderful fully day excursion by small plane and van. c
Chase,our Cessna pilot, was extremely competent and informatjve as we flew to Monument Valley, and our van driver, a Navajo named Billy, gave us much history about his people and their world yesterday and today. Definitely worth the cost and the time.

Excellent trip! Snacks and drinks to start, we flew in a Cessna. Very spacious, comfortable. The flight is about 2 hours, narrated with music. The website description is a bit outdated- they don’t fly over the Grand Canyon anymore, but they do fly over and through monument valley, which was amazing!!! Weather was perfect, visibility clear. We dropped off and the tour company was waiting to take us to lunch. A nice taco lunch with ice cream!!! We then did a 90 minute tour of the valley. Plenty of time to get out and take pictures. A quick 2 hour flight back rounded out a perfect day! If you don’t want to drive from Phoenix, this is the way to go!!
