Grand Canyon Tours
No other tour offers inspiring TED-style talks, with take-homes, pass-arounds, and visual aids
In the past 12 years, we have given over 20,000 guests a world-class tour of the Grand Canyon. You'll spend more time on the ground, less time in the van. You will come face to face with Grand Canyon's geology, wildlife, and Native American heritage. See why we are more than just a sightseeing tour.
"Dave Thayer, a.k.a. Canyon Dave, is a Grand Canyon legend...taking people on the most informative tours about the Grand Canyon available."...quoted from the 2004 Insiders' Guide to Grand Canyon and Northern Arizona, by Todd Berger et al.
Our Most Popular Excursion is the
Ultimate Tour of Grand Canyon
The Ultimate Grand Canyon Tour offers brilliant views and educational opportunities at the world's most stunning canyon.
We include our favorite stops along the rim, with an ecotour style introduction to the geology and wildlife
of Grand Canyon.
Next we're off to Navajolands for lunch (included) in a great restaurant, followed by secret stops in a nearby section of the Painted Desert.
Then it's back to the Grand Canyon for final stops and lengthening shadows.
