My first experience "glamping" and it was more than I could have hoped for. Don is a fantasti guide, very knowledgeable about the area. Chef Sam did a spectacular job for every meal. I have never had such a personalized vacation; I did not want to leave! Because I was the only guest for my entire visit I invited Don and Sam and Lorraine to join me in their dining tent for meals and then around the fire in the evening. They are three of the nicest people I have ever met. They will see me again and again!

This was one of our family’s best vacations so far! We spent 3 nights in one of Don’s beautiful, spacious, 5 person tents. My family of 5 (kids ages 13, 11, 10) had more than enough room inside of the tent, which included a queen bed and 3 single beds. The flannel sheets, wool blankets and heater kept us warm all night despite temps dropping into the low 30’s. The dining tent was absolutely gorgeous and was the perfect cozy setting for all of our delicious meals. Our charming chef for our stay, Sandy, served up bbq ribs and chicken, filet, and full breakfast just to name a few! During our stay, we spent 2 days biking, hiking and exploring the Grand Canyon, and one day in Page kayaking and touring Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. Throughout all of our excursions, Don taught us so much and we left our trip with a wealth of knowledge about the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas - and much much more! We are already planning our next adventure with Don! I can’t recommend Arizona Luxury Expeditions enough!

Don & Sam were fantastic! Don led us on two great hikes and a planned a bike ride for our family. Sam prepared meals that were just "to die for!" They also worked with some special dietary needs. The "glamping" accommodations were also very nice. We slept well and enjoyed waking to the sounds of nature!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful glamping experience. Don's expertise in the Grand Canyon and hospitality made for a wonderful time. Chef Sam delighted us with delicious meals in the outstanding dining tent. There were moments we forgot we were staying at a campground! Don served as our guide for the Grand Canyon experience. His knowledge of canyon geology and sharing of anecdotal stories, made the hiking very enjoyable. He catered the tour to our interests including a lunch picnic in the canyon. I had been looking for a special way to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Arizona Luxury Expeditions made that happen. We left Arizona with incredible memories and a special new friendship. Thank you Don!

We had a fabulous two night stay. We loved the comfortable, spacious accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and delicious meals (thank you Sam!). The careful attention to dietary preferences was much appreciated. Don was a friendly and engaging guide and was a wealth of knowledge about the Grand Canyon. We would have enjoyed more time hiking in the Grand Canyon but our time limitations and the weather were not ideal. Next time!! I would highly recommend this experience! Thank you Don and Sam!

We visited the Grand Canyon in late March with Arizona Luxury Expeditions. We were blown away with how great they made our vacation. Don and has team had thought of every detail and worked hard to make our stay easy, fun, and lux. The tents were cozy, spacious, and impeccably clean. The food was really great and fresh. Our guide for our hike was incredibly knowledgeable and made our hike into the canyon a beautiful and personal experience. We highly recommend Arizona’s Luxury Expeditions! We’ll definitely work with them again on other trips in S. Utah and Arizona. Thank you!!

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a glamping trip with Arizona Luxury Expeditions to their camp just outside the Grand Canyon. My family of four, including two semi-skeptical teenagers, had an incredible experience filled with adventure, delicious meals, and unforgettable sights.



Our trip was initially scheduled for March 2020, but due to Covid, we had to postpone. Don, the owner of ALE, was very flexible and let us reschedule our trip three years later. Don was always quick to get back to me, provided excellent suggestions, and helped me with details on other parts of our trip. His advice was invaluable.



One of the highlights of our trip was the gourmet meals prepared by the talented chef Sam. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was a true luxury to be able to enjoy such delicious food in the midst of nature.



Our hiking tours in the Grand Canyon with our guide, Chris, were also a highlight of the trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and took us on unforgettable hikes. We were able to explore the beauty of the Grand Canyon while feeling safe and comfortable under his guidance. Because we were there in early April, some ice and snow were still on the ground. While other hikers were slipping and generally having difficulty navigating the trail, Chris provided us with crampons and trekking poles that kept us safe during our descent and ascent in the canyon. My skeptical teens said the hikes were the favorite part of our trip (inert mind-blown emoji here).



The accommodations at ALE exceeded our expectations. Our tent was spacious and decorated beautifully. The Pendelton blankets provided by Arizona Luxury Expeditions were another wonderful touch. They were warm, cozy, and beautifully designed, adding an extra level of comfort to our nights under the stars.



We were also impressed by the cleanliness and modern amenities of the outhouses. It was refreshing to have access to such clean and well-maintained facilities while camping.



The campfires with smores were another favorite activity of our teenagers, and the beautiful night sky made for a magical backdrop. Thanks to the owner, Don, we also had the opportunity to go on an Antelope Canyon tour and a Glen Canyon float trip in Page, both of which were unforgettable experiences.



Overall, our glamping trip with Arizona Luxury Expeditions was a lifetime adventure that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable way to explore the Grand Canyon and its surrounding areas.

Had a lovely experience! Don was an amazing guide & host and so thoughtfully tailored our experience to meet the varying needs of our group. Sam was an amazing chef and so kind to my son who wanted to hang out and chat while he cooked. We made so many amazing memories that we won't soon forget.

We could not have asked for a better guide and glamping experience for Bryce and Zion National Parks. Don and Sam were so friendly and accommodating and our glamping set up far exceeded everything we had imagined. The meals were absolutely amazing (Thank Chef Sam!), everything was so relaxing and set up perfectly. We're already planning on booking another experience next year for the Grand Canyon. Thank you Don and Sam!

Wow, wow, wow! My husband and I won a glamping trip at a silent auction and were excited to experience the Zion National Park, but didn’t have much knowledge of what to expect glamping. BEYOND AMAZING! Book now - we had two other friends join us and all of us agreed it was the coolest couple days we have had in a while! Don and Sam go above and beyond. They feel like family now - the meals are amazing, the laughs were abundant, the accommodations were beyond comfortable. We can’t wait to go back and do the South Rim with them next year!!
