Las Vegas Wildlife, Landscapes and Nature Tours 2024/2025

“From start to finish the trip was awesome. We went to Snow Canyon, saw the erosion and the limestone structures, then to Red Rock. We went to see the hoodoos at Bryce Canyon and we hiked amongst them seeing the Majesty of what mother nature can do. We hiked up Wall Street which really challenged my hiking skills, then we went to Zion, which was spectacular with the rugged cliffs and mountains all around you. Hiking up to the top of Angel's Landing with a spectacular view was awesome. We hiked The Narrows through the Virgin River which was a beautiful experience. I'm looking to book my next trip through the tour operator. The guides were awesome, they couldn't be more professional, they took care of every little detail from meals to water on the hikes to making sure everyone was comfortable, to the accommodations. How the guides kept such a great attitude all the time I have no clue, but they sure do!”

“The entire trip was full of surprises (always good ones) - too many to recount all here. The following is a piece I wrote on my return (for a group for whom I write regularly; my pieces form part of a local weekly 'talking news' for visually impaired listeners). This one recounts just one of the several revealing walks we took on this trip. For us participants it was an experience of real discovery, but at all times we were most carefully monitored by our leaders, and we always had every confidence in them.”

“The content of this trip was excellent and we had a very good holiday. There were a few minor deficiencies however, mostly concerning information/communication..... We travelled with others who had booked through Grand American Adventures and they appear to have been better served: they arrived earlier in Las Vegas and had time to explore the city whereas we had time only for a quick dash in, despite the trip notes listing day 1 as a city day. We arrived at the hotel at 6.00pm, just in time for the briefing. We were advised that our guide would expect tips of $5-7 per person per day but we were surprised to hear that there were two guides and they expected $10 per day each. As a couple, therefore, we paid $400 which was way above budget. There were other minor 'annoyances' ... we were told that no meals were included but our GAA were told some breakfasts were included. We were left unsure but caught on eventually and gained a couple of meals! The Alexis Park was disappointing: they took 1 hour to collect us on arrival, the room was shoddy (and the door lock fell off) and it is a good 15 mins brisk walk to town. We thought we might also have been dropped at the airport for our return flight, as we passed the door, rather than return to the Alexis Park and immediately return to the airport. Sedona, the last minute addition to the itinerary, was very nice and we felt we could have made more of the walking opportunities there. A short town tour and lie by the pool was all that was needed!”
