There is usually more to a state than an iconic landmark or a geological feature but for the case of Arizona, it doesn’t try to hide the fact that its most colossal advantage is the incomparable Grand Canyon. No matter how much one reads about or how many photographs you’ve seen, nothing really prepares you upon first sight of this awe-inspiring spectacle of nature. Widely regarded as one of the seven natural wonders of the world, Grand Canyon’s immensity, its vivid play of light and shadow at sunrise and sunset, raging rivers, plunging waterfalls and expansive deserts all congregate together to create a sheer drama of a backdrop where adventurers, outdoor lovers and photographers base and brace themselves ready for an unforgettable adventure beyond imagination. Join these hordes of admirers to experience the forbidding but ravishing beauty of Grand Canyon with a customised Arizona tour package from Chan Brothers Travel Private Tours today.
Heli of a ride
Breathtaking panoramic views of Grand Canyon West. Landing at the bottom on a private plateau 4,000 feet below the rim. A champagne tipple and a picnic to take in the views overlooking the mighty Colorado River. Check. Check. Check. Hop aboard a helicopter and embark on possibly the best way to pick up the stunner that is the Grand Canyon. With luxurious comfort, wraparound windows and multilingual narration, soaring high and above the colossal canyon is truly an experience unlike any other.
Paddle adventure
Join a scenic river adventure and before you hit the water, the spectacular down-canyon views that you come across while on the flight to the river would have already drown you in awe. Come face to face then with Antelope Canyon, renowned for its elegant shape and sandstone shadows formed by many centuries of wind and water smoothing. Finally, when you reach the mighty Colorado River, hop on board your raft and embark on a scenic paddle down the river and in no time you find yourself right in the arms of the glorious rock formations that is the Grand Canyon. For travellers wanting to learn more about Native American history, the possibility of seeing ancient Native American rock carvings is a surprise addition to this scenic expedition.
Swim under falls When you approach the striking red rocks of the canyon and hear the gushing cascades, you know that you should ready yourself for a visual and physical shake-up. With splendid auburn stones standing tall and thunderous falls plunging nearly 100 feet into a pool of vibrant blue-green waters, Havasu Falls is easily the most striking waterfall in the Grand Canyon. And not just that, it offers a wide sandy beach and plenty of trees to shade its more relaxed guests while more energetic punters swim, frolic and bask under the falls in the splendour of it all.
