Details

The town of Page, Arizona, serves as a gateway to some of the Southwest’s most compelling landscapes—towering red rock formations, sculpted sandstone canyons, and the vast blue expanse of Lake Powell. The Adventurous Group specializes in guided air shuttles and tours that reveal the rugged beauty and intricate geology of this region, offering both aerial and ground perspectives that elevate any visit.

At the heart of their offerings are the acclaimed Antelope Canyon tours, including the Upper Antelope Canyon Tour and various combo packages with morning and evening slots. Guests find themselves walking through narrow slot canyons carved by millennia of water flow, where natural light filters in to spotlight twisting stone walls, creating scenes of surreal beauty. Guides like Irene and Loretta bring these spaces alive not only through insightful geological history but also by curating moments perfect for photography—spotlighting light beams, cloud shadows, and unique formations.

Beyond the canyons, The Adventurous Group’s aerial Lake Powell tours and the Sedona to Page air shuttle deliver perspectives that few get to witness. Floating over Reflection Canyon or the Rainbow Bridge offers sweeping views of the Colorado River’s dramatic landscape that ground tours simply cannot match. The Monument Valley and The Wave tours further expand the experience, navigating lesser-trod paths and captivating sandstone waves.

This business stands out for its knowledgeable guides known for keen eyes, supportive attitudes, and a passion for sharing the natural and cultural stories of the region. Located just minutes from Glen Canyon Dam and Horseshoe Bend, their tours easily combine into a full day of adventure. For anyone aiming to experience Page’s distinct terrain—from slot canyon labyrinths to sweeping desert vistas—The Adventurous Group delivers clarity, adventure, and deep connection to this Southwestern wilderness.
