    Grand Canyon Hiking Adventure with an Expert Guide

    5.0 (1)

    Powered by Viator

    Flagstaff, AZ

    This is not just a tour of Grand Canyon...this is a life-changing experience centered around reconnecting with the great outdoors. Join me in witnessing the natural world in a way that you have never experienced before. Our time together will be spent on the South Rim of Grand Canyon, hiking the beautiful Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge for lunch. We will cover about 5 miles in total, 3 of which will be on the Kaibab Trail after a 1-mile warmup walk to the trailhead. This is an amazing, family-friendly way to be introduced to Grand Canyon in a safe and controlled manner. We will take our time getting out of the Canyon and take as many breaks as needed (or wanted)...this is not an endurance event and in the summer we are regularly faced with 100F+ temps. We will be making several stops along the way, including "Ooh-Ahh Point" for a snack and photo break.

    Destin Family Friendly Dolphin Watching Adventure

    Powered by Viator

    Destin, FL

    We stand out from the other dolphin cruise boats because we also do fishing charters. The dolphins know which boats are fishing boats and they usually follow us around hoping we throw a fish back in the water or hook a fish so they can steal it off our hooks. Every boat has a particular sound and ours sound like the dinner bell to the dolphins. We have a great family friendly crew that have tons of knowledge about the area and Destin’s fishing history. We hope to see you and your families aboard.

    Private Spearfish Canyon Hike

    5.0 (5)

    Powered by Viator

    Keystone, SD

    Hiking in Spearfish Canyon, located in the northern Black Hills of South Dakota, is a truly unforgettable experience. With its towering limestone cliffs, lush vegetation, and cascading waterfalls, the canyon offers a mix of scenic beauty, accessibility, and serenity that sets it apart from other hiking destinations in the United States. Spearfish Canyon is one of the oldest natural canyons in North America—older than the Grand Canyon—and was carved by water over millions of years. Today, its vertical limestone cliffs rise up to 1,200 feet, surrounding hikers with dramatic, enclosed scenery that creates a sense of awe at every turn. Because of its narrow shape and elevation, the canyon has a unique cool, moist microclimate. This supports an unusually diverse range of plant life—over 1,200 species, including mosses, orchids, ferns, and wildflowers. In fall, the canyon bursts into brilliant hues of red, orange, and gold, rivaling famous leaf-peeping destinations.
