An In-Depth Look at the 3-Day Aerial Safari Experience

Day 1: From Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon and Page

Your adventure kicks off in Las Vegas with a scenic flight over Lake Mead and the expansive, rugged beauty of the Grand Canyon. The flight sets the tone—expect jaw-dropping views of the canyon at different angles, with the vast Colorado River snaking through the red and brown cliffs.

Once on the ground, you’ll hop into a private Hummer for a tour along the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. This part stands out because it’s not just about seeing the popular viewpoints but also discovering some hidden spots. You’ll visit both well-known and less crowded outlooks, giving a sense of the canyon’s scale and diversity. We loved the way the Hummer tour offers a more intimate and personalized way to experience this iconic landscape.

Lunch is included, often enjoyed at a viewpoint or a designated picnic area, giving you a chance to relax while soaking in the views.

Later, it’s time for a scenic flight over Lake Powell and Horseshoe Bend—a highlight for many travelers. The aerial perspective reveals the swirling sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon and the dramatic bend of the Colorado River. You’ll land in Page, Arizona, where guided walks through Antelope Canyon and along Horseshoe Bend await. Both sites are highly photogenic—Antelope Canyon’s flowing, wave-like walls and Horseshoe Bend’s sweeping curve provide perfect photo moments.

Day 2: From Page to Moab’s Red Rock Wonders

Starting with a flight over Capitol Reef National Park, you’ll see the less-visited but equally stunning landscape of tall cliffs and intricate rock formations. The flight offers a different perspective—highlighting the park’s unique geology.

In Moab, the seriousness of the trip truly kicks in. You’ll explore Arches National Park, renowned for its over 2,000 natural stone arches and towering red rock formations. From famous landmarks like Delicate Arch (if time permits) to rock fins and spires, the scenery is both dramatic and ever-changing. The guided tour on foot here is short but packed with iconic sights, giving you a sense of the park’s grandeur.

Later, you visit Canyonlands, where the Dramatic mesas, deep canyons, and sprawling vistas give a feeling of vast wilderness. Many reviews mention how the different parks provide a “completely different” landscape, and you’ll likely agree once you see the contrast between the delicate arches of Arches and the rugged cliffs of Canyonlands.

In the evening, Moab’s charming town offers a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing dinner and stroll through local galleries and shops.

Day 3: Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Return to Las Vegas

Your final day begins with a flight over Capitol Reef, offering sweeping views of the park’s intricate formations. Then you arrive at Bryce Canyon, where the hoodoos—tall, thin spires of rock—are as surreal as they sound. The scenic rim tour provides multiple vantage points, allowing you to take in the canyon’s unusual landscape from above and below. Many travelers love the optional hiking or biking to get closer to the formations, but even from the rim, the views are unforgettable.

Next, a flight over Zion National Park elevates your experience, showcasing the park’s massive cliffs and deep valleys from the air. Zion’s towering sandstone walls and the winding Virgin River are truly spectacular.

Finally, your aerial journey concludes with a return to Las Vegas, where you can reflect on how different the landscape looks from above compared to the ground.
