This is a tour like none you have taken before! Find yourself immersed in the meaning of what it takes to be a true naturalist of the desert southwest.
We have two amazing tour options to best fit your schedule:
FIRE & ICE: This is by far the most sought after tour in the Phoenix or Tucson regions! Our full day option guides you throughout the town and desert where you learn about topics such as (geology, paleontology, anthropology, archeology, biology, meteorology, climatology, and astronomy). This tour is unique in that you get the luxury of experiencing a famous Arizona sunset while also getting the rare opportunity to see Arizona stars like never before.
FIRE IN THE SKY: This is our half day option where you find yourself traveling throughout the desert learning about the rich history and abundant life living throughout the area. During this tour you will cover topics such as (geology, paleontology, archeology, biology). You get the sunset, but forfeit the evening stargaze.
