“Very disappointing tour thought it was a 20 minute tour bus to get to Everglades for a 45 minute boat ride, lucky it was 30 minutes and just in a small area, thought second half was a walk though Everglades in was in a lot , food area closed and it was an hour and 20 minute ride both ways!!

Take a small-group 4WD safari through Kaibab Forest to Grand Canyon viewpoints, wildlife stops, and a sunset at Grandview Point.
“It was an okay experience, nothing exceptional. We did go through the Kaibab forest, which was good to see although we never stopped driving. The rest of the tour seemed to lack substance. We got information on which lodging there is in the park, we stopped at Yavasupai geological museum (visited on our own while the guide waited), and then we looked at the sunset.

Would highly recommend this experience!”

“The pilot was very informative and the ride was smooth. Staff was very hospitable.
