Select participants and date
The plane lifts off from the Las Vegas strip and the world changes beneath you: the Hoover Dam becomes a clenched jaw of concrete, Lake Mead a glittering bruise, and the canyon country spreads out like a carved map. Over three days this private aerial safari stitches together the West’s most dramatic scenery—Grand Canyon’s South Rim, the red buttes of Monument Valley, the glassy apertures of Lake Powell, Antelope Canyon’s sculpted light, Bryce’s hoodoos, and Zion’s soaring walls—mixing small-plane vantage points with open-air Jeep runs and guided slot-canyon walks.

Adventure Tips
Hydrate for the desert
Carry 1.5–2 liters of water during daytime outings; altitude and dry air increase dehydration risk.
Layer for big temperature swings
Mornings and evenings at high-elevation stops (Bryce, Grand Canyon rim) can be cold even in summer—pack an insulating mid-layer.
Pack motion-sickness remedies
Small-plane hops and winding jeep roads can unsettle stomachs—bring medication or acupressure bands if you’re prone to nausea.
Bring spare camera batteries
Aerial photography and long daylight hours drain batteries—carry spares and a small power bank.
