Highlights
Outing Highlights
Panoramic flight across Arizona’s signature landscapes
The narrated aerial leg circles Sedona’s red-rock formations, soars past the San Francisco Peaks and the Painted Desert and continues over the Navajo Reservation en route to the south rim, offering a sweeping regional context before the Grand Canyon overflight.
A rare 20–30 minute overflight of the Grand Canyon
On a route granted to only a few companies, the flight spends 20–30 minutes over the widest, most dramatic section of the canyon, flying roughly 1,000 feet above the rim to reveal scale and color from a singular vantage.
Buck Wild Hummer ground tour of the South Rim
After landing near Grand Canyon National Park, a Buck Wild guide leads a ground tour to multiple scenic overlooks and the Grand Canyon Historic Village—places like El Tovar and Hopi House along the Rim—adding geology, flora, fauna and history to the aerial impressions.
