Arizona Adventure

The Arizona Adventure is a four-night, five-day tour that takes you from the arches of Moab to the vibrant colors of the Mesa Verde to the culture and landscapes of Phoenix. You’ll be transported to the days of the Wild West, with stops at Monument Valley and the small town of Williams, Arizona, where the history of Route 66 comes alive. See the ancient Pueblo dwellings built into a rocky cliff overhang in Mesa Verde National Park. Marvel at the rim of the Grand Canyon and go sightseeing in beautiful Sedona.

This tour can be paired with the Rocky Mountaineer rail experience, with two additional nights in Moab.

Footsteps of the DINÉ

Step back in time and see what the region’s first people, the Diné (Navajo) Nation, saw when they arrived in Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. On the Footsteps of the Diné tour, you’ll also get to see the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde National Park and watch the Red Heritage Native American Dinner Theater as the lives and culture of the Native Americans come to life. 

Marvel at the unspoiled views of the Grand Canyon at the North Rim, the massive formations in Monument Valley, and the towering peaks of Zion National Park.. Climb the wooden ladders of Antelope Canyon and see the incredible rock layers up close. You’ll even enjoy a wine tour in Sedona, which pairs the region’s natural beauty with delicious local wines.

This tour can be paired with the Rocky Mountaineer rail experience, with two additional nights in Moab.

New Mexico Explorer

The New Mexico Explorer is a five-day, four-night adventure taking you to some of the most unique natural and historic sites in Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. You’ll start your trip with a visit to Mesa Verde National Park, where you’ll view the best-preserved Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites in the U.S. Then, you’ll hop aboard a train to enjoy the iconic Durango to Silverton journey, which weaves through some incredible landscapes before arriving in the historic town of Silverton. 

After exploring the ancient remnants found in Aztec Ruins National Monument, you’ll continue on to Sante Fe, New Mexico, where you’ll explore some of the sites that make the city so unique, like the Bradbury Science Museum in Los Alamos and downtown Santa Fe. 

This trip can be paired with the Rocky Mountaineer rail experience, with two additional nights in Moab.

Yellowstone & Grand Teton

While Utah might be in our name and the location of many of our tours, Utah Luxury Tours also offers adventures in other destinations. Some of our most popular tours are our Yellowstone and Grand Teton packages. One of the most unique options is the Yellowstone & Grand Teton Rail & Trail Combo Tour.

This tour kicks off with an incredible journey through the beautiful Grand Teton National Park. Marvel at the park’s peaks and clear lakes, and see it all from above on the Teton Village Aerial Tram. You’ll also have a chance to enjoy a cruise on Jenny Lake or a float down the scenic Snake River. Next, you’ll make your way to Yellowstone National Park, where you’ll see Old Faithful, spot wildlife in their natural habitats, and hike to the Upper and Lower Falls.
