This was definitely the highlight of my Phoenix trip. Paul was super knowledgeable about the area, the scorpions, and the hikes. Be prepared for a bit of a workout, but it was totally worth it!





På denne unikke oplevelse vil du udforske Sonoran-ørkenen i Phoenix under en baldakin af mørke. Bevæbnet med en UV-lommelygte vil du afsløre skorpioner - deres eksoskeleter gløder i fascinerende blågrønne nuancer - og andre seje ting, der lyser om natten. Byens lys glimter i det fjerne, mens der ovenover folder et lærred af måne og stjerner sig ud. Det er en dans mellem det jordiske og det kosmiske, der efterlader dig både ydmyg og opstemt.
Først vil vi bruge et par minutter på at blive bekendt med hinanden lige før skumring ved en lidt ukendt startsti i North Phoenix. Derefter vil vi bevæge os ind i ørkenen ad en blidt skrånende sti med fantastisk udsigt over Phoenix Mountains Preserve, med Piestewa Peak – det næsthøjeste i Phoenix – der rejser sig højt over.
Til denne sjove glødevandretur i den ikoniske Sonoran-ørken i Arizona giver jeg alt, hvad din gruppe har brug for til en uforglemmelig udflugt. Mens dagslyset forsvinder til nat, vandrer vi ind i ørkenen. Når det eneste lys er stjernernes skær og fjerntliggende bylys, er alle inviteret til at tænde deres specielle "sort lys"-lommelygter, som jeg vil levere. Du vil blive overrasket over antallet af bioluminescerende ting, dit magiske lys afslører, som er usynlige ved højlys dag eller med en almindelig lommelygte. Bliv fascineret af glødende insekter, mineraler og forstenede alger for at nævne nogle få af de objekter, vi vil se. Hvis det ikke er nok, vil du grine som et barn, mens medlemmer af dit besætning lyser op som glødepinde, når du retter din lilla stråle mod dem. Efter at have set seje fund og en gang i livet fotoops, går vi tilbage til udgangspunktet. Vil du tage det til næste niveau? Bær blacklight-venligt tøj til vandreturen.
Når vi nærmer os højdepunktet af turen, vil du blive forbløffet over pragten af millioner af bylys, der strækker sig i mil på Solens Dal.
For at få fuld refusion skal du afbestille mindst 24 timer før det planlagte afgangstidspunkt.

We had a great time on the Phoenix Mountains Preserve Night Glow Hike with our group (3 adults and 1 kid). It was a very cool and unique experience. During the hike, we only saw scorpions, but it was super interesting! The best part was that we even spotted two giant scorpions, which was really exciting for everyone. The guide made sure we were safe and showed us how to find them in the dark. We loved the experience from start to finish. Highly recommended for families looking for an exciting night activity!
Wear cool, white or bright clothing, short sleeves, shorts, comfortable hiking shoes. Bring water. Bring your phone fully charged for pictures and videos! My husband and I ended up being the only ones on this hike. It was great! Paul was very knowledgeable. We saw lots of scorpions and a mouse! The view of the city from the top was lovely! If I go again, I would bring glow sticks or glow necklaces/bracelets! So fun!
My family and I were really looking forward to this tour, especially coming all the from Michigan but no one showed up for the tour. No participants and no activity director. The only positive thing I can say is Viator returned our payment without issues.
From tour operator: A glitch in the app showed that this booking was cancelled by the guest.
Very cool experience; would be especially great for kids who might not be thrilled with a more traditional hike.
It is easy hike, but still make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes , and have a bottle of water . We saw 25 plus scorpions!! The tour guy was wonderful, and very knowledgeable. We learned lots of interesting facts about night desert life.
It was very informative and beautiful views. We learned a lot about desert creatures and plants. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and communicated very well to our group of various ages; kids, parents and grandparents.
Such an amazing experience for a first time visit to Phoenix to learn some history and see scorpions under UV lighting! The hike was nice without the beating sun and enjoyable with the night breeze. We recommend this night hike and the sunrise hike. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
Fun activity for the entire family. The guide was great. He was very knowledgeable, organized and engaging. I would definitely recommend this hike.
Super interesting. Spotted 62 scorpions, often right on the path, and learned lots of interesting faces about cactii. Pro tips: hotter days yield more scorpions, but if it’s above 100, you may have to wait for the rocks to cool below 85 or so.
