Photo Rally Scavenger Hunt (Our Signature Trip!) #1 Team Building Event

This is the best way to get out and enjoy a fun and spirited day of teams trying outshine

each other originality. A great team building event as it involves all members and their

ability to work together using their imagination and wit. Groups break out into teams

and off they go to collect pictures, memories and discover things about their team mates

they just never knew. Everyone participates and everyone plays an important role

within the team. Each team is assigned a guide and they are a strategic component in

the teams as they are faced with riddles and cryptic clues to steer them to the ‘winners

circle”. All throughout this expedition, the tour takes them to historical landmarks,

cultural points of interest and through the beautiful Sonoran desert. As they progress,

they accumulate specific objects, and as proof of their visit to these sites, teams are

required to photograph certain locations / scenarios – not typical photo’s but some

outrageous and outlandish ones.

All teams come together at the last stop of the hunt where judges / guides set up viewing of all photo’s and “treasures” each team has gathered

during their scavenger hunt. These items along serve as the basis for their adventure and are presented to the “judges” who make teams sing

songs, and tell tales of their adventure to score points. Everyone has fun here – guides participate in “helping” their team win any way they

can! This is one of the best team building events encompassing active participation from all members in a fun and comical environment. It’s

all about laughs and having fun on this one.

Jeep Desert Safari

A short ride to any one of the many desert trails (destination based in proximity and

group size), guides share the old west stories and history significant to the area.

Typical drive time to the desert trail is about 20 minutes. The ride takes us on off road

trails where guests will see a wide variety of local vegetation, mountain ranges and

breathtaking views all around them. These areas have beautiful natural desert

landscape, clear skies, and lots of fresh air to enjoy.

While on the trail, we always have the opportunity to stop along the way, and give

folks a first hand on look at the desert. Guides invite guests to join them on a nature

walk for about 30 minutes. This not only gives the guest the opportunity to stretch out,

but to get better understanding and firsthand look at the desert environment.

Lots of beautiful desert to enjoy, unique and interesting wildlife, and some great

company. A great way to get out and enjoy the rugged yet sensitive desert environment

found here in Arizona. Guests always find these tours to be fun and a learning

experience. Lots of new things to see and do in the desert!

“I thought it was all dry and dead out there, but it was really interesting to see and

learn about what the desert is all about. . . . The kids really liked the big Cactus...”

Desert Fishing Experience

Our fishing events are a quiet get away where guests will try their luck at the lake or

river side. Our state certified fishing guides will be there every step of the way with

insight as the local “secrets” fishing holes. Southwest Desert Adventures can cater to

every style of fisherman – from the well rounded experienced angler to the first timer.

Our guides take care of all the details so the guests can focus on the task of trying

their luck. They’ll have plenty of stories about the “one that got away” and maybe

even bring diner back for the crew! Arizona State requires all anglers have a fishing

license which we take care ahead of time and is included. We recommend a “Catch and Release” attitude to ensure a healthy and plentiful

stock. What a great way to relax while in Arizona

1. Pontoon Boat Fishing

a. Fishing various sites on the lake. A great platform and easy too!

2. Fly Fishing

a. Learn this special technique from an experienced Angler

3. Shoreline Fishing

a. Pick your spot under your favorite tree and fish away

A jeep tour and some fishing is a great combination for some adventure and relaxation all in one. Great on those hot summer days to get

out near the water and maybe even pop in!

Sedona Day Trip

Sedona is renowned for its beautiful hillsides, magnificent mountain ranges, and of course, Red

Rocks! On this day, we depart your resort and travel directly to beautiful Sedona. Once there, we

will visit with Montezuma’s Indian ruins, Montezuma’s castle / Indian ruins is probably the most

spectacular Arizona ruin; an imposing 5-storey structure built into a recess in a white stone cliff

about 70 feet from the ground. Great photo opportunities and a short walk to get different

perspectives of this spectacular structure.

Then, off to old town Sedona where the group will have 2 hours free time for lunch, or to walk and

do a little shopping, or maybe even a side trip. Once we have re-grouped, our next stop is Jerome -

America's Most Vertical City" and "Largest Ghost Town in America". Once known as the

wickedest town in the west, Jerome was a copper mining camp, growing from a settlement of tents

to a roaring mining community. We’ll visit some sights and see if the old mining town is still as wicked

as it was back when. Guests have some time to shop the many great unique stores and art galleries for

trinkets and gifts.

At this point, it’s time to start back to the resort so sit back and relax a little while we travel back to your

resort. Your day is typically 7 hours including travel time so the earlier we start the more sunshine we’ll

see.

Day at the Ranch / Beach

Our Day at the Beach / Ranch provides multi-sport activities available from one location. This

assures everyone has the chance to participate and enjoy similar surroundings and local. Great

for windup days and to cater to different interests. The locations available provide all the

amenities and area beauty of Arizona. Guests will be appreciative of the gorgeous

environment and availability of the activities from one central location. Culture and history

surround these areas and guests will be treated to some of the best backcountry of Arizona.

Guests are bused in from the resort and once on site, guided to the start of their activity and off

they go. After the activities, they are all in one location and provide a simple ride home or

perhaps a wind up cowboy cookout. This is fast becoming a favorite among guests with its

multiple activities in one location especially where spouses are invited to participate.

Our “Day at the Ranch” program is an excellent way to offer multiple activities from a single venue. Guests can pre-register for their chosen

activity and enjoy these all from a single departure area. With a number of different venues available, we can offer a location close to your

accommodations.

As guests arrive to the launch point, we have the activities prepared and guides ready to go. Knowing who will be attending which event

makes our planning and organization simple, and allows us to maximize the guests time with us. Guests and planners enjoy the convenience of

the simplicity with transportation, and if desired, a lunch or snack at the end of the activity.

Jeep Tours, hiking, trail rides, and kayaking, mountain biking are all available as guests activity options. See the individual write ups for each

event for detailed information. We can also arrange a “cookout” to wind down the day and enjoy a great early evening cuisine and

entertainment “a la cowboy” style.

anytime!

Add a Cowboy Cookout for a well rounded and complete activity day.

A Cowboy Cookout is a definite consideration with this event as folks are already gathered and the informal atmosphere makes for a great

wind-down to any meeting / convention.

Discover Ballooning & Jeep Guaranteed Adventure!

We’ve teamed up with one of the Valley’s most respected Balloon companies to offer a jeep / balloon

combination. A once in a lifetime to fly in a Balloon and what better place than the gorgeous Sonoran

desert. A bird’s eye view - 360 degrees of mountain ranges, foothills, city and desert. Your pilot will

point out the interesting and unique landmarks along the way and have the chance to experience “lighter

than air” flight. A gentle journey for an unhurried glimpse of the Valley.

Typically a 1 hour flight combined with a Jeep Safari either pre or post your balloon ride (depending on

timing) so you’ll have a full experience out in the desert. See the desert environment in its full glory as

this trip is available year round and can be customized for your special needs. This is a really special

journey with a different journey each day as Mother Nature dictates our launch site and direction.

Special note on Ballooning:

Should weather conditions for Ballooning be considered unsafe (winds, clouds, etc), guests still get to

experience a great Jeep Safari (at the Jeep Safari pricing) with us so as not to miss out in the Sonoran

Desert. This ensures that guests are kept busy with an activity.

Kayak / Hike Combination – multi sport activity

On this particular event, we split the group into two – half will kayak and half will

hike to our midpoint, and then we swap the hikers become kayakers and the kayakers

become hikers. We start and end at the same location and the tour and with the

different activities, it covers a lot of things to see and have fun with.

Who ever thought you could kayak in the desert? Well, it is a great way to take a

break and enjoy the gorgeous waters that surround the Valley. A quiet lake cruise

paddling around the beautiful shoreline and scenery of the Saguaro Lake, kayaks are

the easy to use and very safe sit on top kayaks – easier than a canoe and much more

Jeep Safari & Cookout Combination

This is out signature combination event and one that is such a great combination. Spend the later part

of the afternoon exploring the Desert environment in a customized 4x4. The ride takes us on off road

trails where guests will see a wide variety of local vegetation, mountain ranges and breathtaking views

all around them. These areas have beautiful natural desert landscape, clear skies, and lots of fresh air

to enjoy.

While on the trail, we always have the opportunity to stop along the way, and give folks a first hand

on look at the desert. Guides invite guests to join them on a nature walk for about 30 minutes. This

not only gives the guest the opportunity to stretch out, but to get better understanding and firsthand

look at the desert environment. Lots of beautiful desert to enjoy, unique and interesting wildlife, and

some great company. A great way to get out and enjoy the rugged yet sensitive desert environment

found here in Arizona.

We end our Jeep tour and our cookout site where the preparations have been set in motion hours

before with the staff preparing the cowboy style feast for everyone. The cookout site provides a great

environment with a relaxed outdoor atmosphere and casual dining. Our standard menu includes

western style appetizers, steak and chicken and all the fixings. After a great entrée, mingle and enjoy the campfire. The cookout seating is

under a pavilion and of course has modern washroom facilities for maximum comfort.

This combination is a five hour event with each event lasting about 2.5 hours. We typically

work the start time based on three to three and a half hours prior to sunset. Meals can be catered

to specific menus as required and a bar can be arranged (prices adjusted accordingly).

Cancellation policy- 72 hours

Cowboy Cookouts

We have to make note of adding a cookout to most any event. This is really a great

combination that is provides the perfect wind up to any gathering. Having guests

get away from the hotel conference room and brought together for an enjoyable

afternoon out in the beautiful Arizona outback, and then a very casual cowboy

cookout is really a great combination. We really enjoy putting this together as it’s

always a crowd pleaser!

Please check the pricing sheet for common add-ons / combinations and call us for

more information at (480) 962-6620.
