Take to the skies and rugged trails of Northern Arizona with Westwind Air Service. Their combined aerial and ground tours capture the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and Lake Powell in ways few other operators can offer.
Northern Arizona offers some of the most dramatic and varied terrain in the American Southwest, and Westwind Air Service makes it accessible through a variety of aerial and ground-based adventures. Operating primarily from Sedona, this company specializes in scenic flights and combined air-ground tours that cover iconic landmarks like the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Lake Powell, and Horseshoe Bend.
The Grand Canyon dominates the landscape here, carved over millions of years along the Colorado River and defined by layers of deep red sandstone and limestone cliffs. Westwind’s tours include aerial perspectives from the South Rim and West Rim, including the one-of-a-kind Skywalk—a glass bridge extending out over the canyon’s edge. Their Signature Tour pairs a narrated Hummer ground tour with a breathtaking flight, offering diverse vantage points and expert insights about the geology and history of the region.
Monument Valley, on the Arizona-Utah border, boasts iconic sandstone buttes that rise sharply from the desert floor. Westwind’s combined air and ground tour lets visitors see these formations from above and experience Navajo cultural history on the ground from knowledgeable guides.
Additional trips from Flagstaff, Sedona, or Page include flyovers of Lake Powell and Rainbow Bridge, one of the largest natural sandstone arches in the world. Flights also showcase Horseshoe Bend’s sweeping meander in the Colorado River, a photographer’s favorite.
Trustworthy pilots and attentive service shine through repeated guest praise for seamless logistics, smooth flights, and informative commentary. These day trips allow visitors to experience multiple regional highlights without long drives, making Westwind Air Service an unmatched gateway to Northern Arizona’s expansive desert wilderness and geological marvels.
With options customized for adventure seekers, families, and those with limited time, Westwind Air Service stands out as a premier provider of uniquely immersive experiences above and on the rugged ground of Northern Arizona’s most spectacular landscapes.
