Westwind was great to deal with and an amazing experience. Our trip was moved three times due to weather and they worked hard to make sure we still had a great experience
Thank you for choosing Westwind Air Service. We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful day with us. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Absolutely wonderful fully day excursion by small plane and van. c Chase,our Cessna pilot, was extremely competent and informatjve as we flew to Monument Valley, and our van driver, a Navajo named Billy, gave us much history about his people and their world yesterday and today. Definitely worth the cost and the time.
We're so glad that you had a wonderful experience on the MVJ tour yesterday. Please come back and fly with us again.
Excellent trip! Snacks and drinks to start, we flew in a Cessna. Very spacious, comfortable. The flight is about 2 hours, narrated with music. The website description is a bit outdated- they don’t fly over the Grand Canyon anymore, but they do fly over and through monument valley, which was amazing!!! Weather was perfect, visibility clear. We dropped off and the tour company was waiting to take us to lunch. A nice taco lunch with ice cream!!! We then did a 90 minute tour of the valley. Plenty of time to get out and take pictures. A quick 2 hour flight back rounded out a perfect day! If you don’t want to drive from Phoenix, this is the way to go!!
Glad you had a great experience! It was a pleasure having you as our guests.
Excellent trip. Snacks and drinks before takeoff. Used a Cessna to fly up. 2 hour narrated flight and went right over the valley! Tour company was waiting. Had a nice lunch at the local restaurant and then a van tour of the valley. Epic once in a lifetime trip. Less than 2 hour flight back. Learned a lot, souvenir photo, and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for an amazing experience!
It was a truly wonderful experience to see the stunning landscape from 10,000 feet. The plane is very small and I was somewhat nervous, but our pilot Brandon, was very understanding and helped put me at ease. The guide at Monument Valley tour was not great. We paid for a taco lunch, which we were given to eat in the truck, at the designated tour stop. As soon as we finished our horrible tacos, he said "we had taken too long eating it and now had to go back to the plane"...no tour! Having paid over $1000.00 each it was a disappointing experience.
We re sorry to her that you didn't enjoy the tour at Monument Valley. Please give us a call at the office, so we can discuss the tour further with you-
My husband and I were so nervous about getting on a small plane but the Westwind staff put us at ease right away and our pilot, “Hollywood”, was amazing! The views from the plane really can’t be truly captured in photos. It was amazingly beautiful! The Monument Valley ground tour gave us a lot of history and served us a delicious authentic taco lunch before flying back to Phoenix. I highly recommend Westwind Air Service and imagine whichever tour you select will be unforgettable!
Thank you for your review! Glad to hear you had a wonderful tour with us- hope to see you again!
Took a trip out of Page. Sherry who checked us in is fabulous. Brandon our pilot was awesome. An amazing 90 min flight, well narrated. So glad we took the trip.
Excellent tour! This was the only way for us to see Monument Valley since the Reservation is still closed. We flew around Lake Powell and landed at Monument Valley after flying around for us to view. A Navajo guide told us about Navajo life and then drove us out to see part of the valley that is currently accessible. We then took off and flew over to view the Grand Canyon from the air. Awesome!
We booked that flight and were already pretty excited. That flight was topping our expectations and we were speechless. Already the booking was very fast and always so friendly. Re-bookings we could make uncomplicated. Arriving at the airport was fairly easy and we got a warm welcome. Our pilot always took care for us before, during and after the flight. While flying we got a guided tour over the headphones. Definitely recommendable!!!
I could not be happier with the services provided by Westwind Air Service. Gathering tour details, options, and pricing was a breeze through their texting service, and once I submitted the web booking, the Westwind team was quick to confirm the reservation. "Check-in" at the Page, AZ airport was quick, and we were on the tarmac in fewer than 2 minutes upon our arrival in the terminal. The professional, yet friendly pilot provided a great pre-flight experience, and also offered lots of good information while in-flight. I also enjoyed the professionally produced audio tour that was available through the noise-blocking headsets. The group took hundreds of great photos throughout the trip, and we learned a ton from the Navajo guide while visiting Monument Valley. I highly recommend booking a tour with Westwind Air Service - it will be a trip you will cherish and never forget.
