Arizona Vacations & Trips 2026/2027

Overview

Take a trip to Arizona on your United States Vacation

If drama in the desert stirs your wanderlust, then Arizona is the ultimate travel stage. From serene deserts and the red rocks of Sedona to the nation’s biggest national landmark, the Grand Canyon, Arizona is an American geological treasure trove, sure to capture your heart, and camera each time you visit.

The Grand Canyon is Arizona’s biggest star, and at a mile (1.6km) deep, 18 miles (29km) wide, and 277 miles (445km) long, the largest formation of its kind on earth. Visitors flock year-round to the South Rim for the best views, and to hike and immerse themselves in the indigenous history and culture of the region. In the warmer months, the North Rim offers a quieter, less curated experience, while Grand Canyon West is located close to the Nevada border and is popular with day-trippers from Las Vegas.

Between the Grand Canyon and Phoenix, Sedona is a natural treasure in its own right, famous for its red rock formations, a vivid blend of indigenous cultures, a thriving artistic scene, and its mysterious energy vortexes. Perhaps nowhere else in Arizona captures the appeal of this landscape quite like Sedona, with countless trails to explore in between historic archeological sites and natural formations like Cathedral Rock, the Devil’s Bridge, and Seven Sacred Pools.

Head northeast from Phoenix and you’ll find yourself amid the eerie beauty of Petrified Forest National Park. To the north, take a tour to marvel at the light beams that—at least in summer—flood the swirling red rocks of Antelope Canyon. On the Utah border, deep within Navajo lands, you can take in a view synonymous with the West at Oljato-Monument Valley. Many of the valley’s best sights and viewpoints are only accessible with a Navajo guide, so this is a great spot to slow down and immerse yourself in the indigenous culture of Arizona and the surrounding states.

When you’re not on the road to your next adventure, Arizona offers a wide range of luxury resort options, particularly in the Phoenix and Sedona areas, allowing you to rest your weary hiking limbs. Alternatively, test your skills on one of the 200+ golf courses that dot Phoenix and its neighbouring communities. Whatever story you’re hoping to write in Arizona, it’s sure to be a compelling and memorable one.

While researching suppliers for a clients Thailand honeymoon, I remembered being referred to GoWay by a longterm TA ….because they “get it right and get it done!” I had already started their training modules, so I put in a quote. Immediately, Taylor responded with a very thorough email and we decided to chat. I gave him my specifics and he again responded immediately and matched my client’s travel needs 100%. I found it comforting to speak with a country expert with the knowledge I needed. My clients booked their vacation and are very excited about their itinerary! Thank you Taylor for making this process seamless.Karla B

The most amazing experience with Goway!! Phoebe did an amazing job planing the best trip to Paris, Florence and Venice with a great mix of relaxing and adventure days. Will be recommending to other travellers. Always someone available which is great when you are travelling in different time zones. Overall cannot be more happy with our experience working with Goway Lauren Bouw

Our rep at GoWay, Kimberly, was fantastic from start to finish. She came up with the exact itinerary we wanted for Melbourne, Uluru, Cairns and Sydney, and assisted us with both international and domestic flights to help us get the best rates. Once we were on the trip, everything flowed seamlessly and every tour and transport was on time.Lisa Wildes

As a travel agent, this is not the first time I’ve chosen to work with Goway for organizing my clients’ trip, this time to Chile, and once again, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Throughout the entire process, I could count on truly professional service from Susanna. My clients are very experienced travelers and requested a highly customized itinerary, including many unique experiences that are not typically included in standard tour programs. There were also several occasions when, on behalf of my clients, I requested changes to an already prepared itinerary. Susanna was consistently helpful, patient, understanding, and — just as importantly — incredibly kind and pleasant to work with. It was clear that she genuinely cared about creating the best possible experience for my clients. I’m also certain that much of the work she put in went well beyond standard hours and expectations. My clients returned absolutely delighted with their vacation, which is always the greatest confirmation of a job well done. Thank you, Susanna, for your dedication and exceptional support. And thank you, Goway, for another wonderful experience!Beata

Our family trip to Machu Picchu was absolutely incredible, thanks to RuthAnne Leonty. Every tour was thoughtfully organized and the guides were top-notch.

We booked our 3,week tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and overall it was an excellent experience. I typically book my own travel, but travelling with a group and wanting tours in each destination made GoWay a great choice. We had great hotels and good guides in each city. I will say that our standout guide was Romeo Tran in Ho Chi Minh City. We spent a few days in the city, as well as an over night boat ride on the delta, and he was fantastic. We had alot of fun with him, and would highly recommend him in particular. Neil Braun

We booked a Viking cruise (Venice to Athens) through Goway Travel and it was fantastic! Our agent Kimberly was extremely helpful with air travel options, choosing excursions, and suggestions for pre and post cruise activities. Great communications and a really enjoyable experience.Stanley

We booked through Paula Williamson in the Toronto office, a Great Journeys New Zealand trip and it was fantastic! Although I had already scheduled a trip on The Ghan train in Australia, Paula helped me work it all as one huge 45 day trip including Bali Indonesia. My favorite was the New Zealand trip as I’d never been there before and the tour guide Toni was so spectacular and caring. I’m so pleased Goway was involved and I didn’t require any additional assistance once We'd started the first flight March 8. If we do another overseas trip, Goway will be involved.John

Michael Keon arranged our recent trip to Malta. I gave him a rough outline of what we were looking for and he responded quickly making great suggestions, offering alternatives as needed and booking everything. The hotel, excursions and transport he arranged were all exactly what we hoped for. We will be asking Michael to book our future European vacations. Mayssa Mirshak
