Welcome to Windwalker Expeditions

World class adventures with world class guides

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to introduce you to Windwalker Expeditions - a private only Arizona adventure company that specializes in providing a wide variety of year round Arizona wilderness adventures.

We have been guiding personalized and private wilderness adventures since 1996 and are based out of Cave Creek, Arizona - approximately 45 minutes north of the Scottsdale/Phoenix area. We offer Arizona horseback riding, hiking, backpacking, four wheeling, desert survival, primitive skills and photography workshops. All of which can be done in a partial-day, full-day or multi-day format. Windwalker guides have been chosen for their experience and excellent personalities. They are true professionals who love what they do, so they do it quite well, and their genuine enthusiasm guarantees a fun and fresh experience for guides and guests alike.

Windwalker Expeditions operates in a very unique fashion. All of our activities are strictly private, which means that it's just you, or you and your party and a guide. This allows Windwalker to customize and create a safe and exciting desert excursion for small private groups who want something more than a dusty day on the Arizona trails.

So when you are looking for a one-of-a-kind desert adventure, put the Windwalker experience to work for you in planning an unforgettable event.

Horseback Riding

The ultimate riding experience

Windwalker equestrian guides are experienced horsemen who own and train their own horses, from Quarter horses to Arabians. Some of our guides specialize in endurance riding, using lightweight endurance saddles (more for the English trained client), while others specialize in the Western style of riding, giving Windwalker a wide variety of quality horses to accommodate novice to advanced riders.

Jeep Tours

Off the beaten path

Accompanied by your choice of a professional photographer or primitive skills expert as your guide, you can explore the remnants of the desert's earliest dwellers. Experience some of Arizona's most rugged and spectacular scenic panoramas or visit a historical gold mine and pan for gold by the side of a genuine prospector. These are just a few examples of the many exciting and educational off-road tours that Windwalker has to offer.

Hiking & Backpacking

The destination is the journey
Backpacking in Arizona

Hiking in Arizona is a pleasurable way to let your cares and stress just slip away. Windwalker's private day hikes can be tailored to meet your level of comfort, from a leisurely two hour stroll to a more challenging full day aerobic workout. Windwalker's multi-day backpacking trips are customized to meet our guests personal interests and level of skill. It's not just where you're going but who you're going with that will make your journey a memorable and educational experience.

Primitive Skills & Survival Workshops

Natures way

The most efficient and fun way to learn safety, survival and primitive living skills is to go on one of Windwalker's full day or multi-day primitive living treks. With over 35 years of experience our master survival expert Bluebird (John Crossman) will teach you how to build natural shelters, purify water, create friction fires, make arrow heads (flint knapping), create fishing line and a variety of other natural crafts that will help you survive in the Arizona wilderness.

Photo Workshops

Learn to "see" through the eyes of the lens

Anyone can take a snap shot but exciting photographs are perceived in the eye, even before the camera is on the tripod. Our professional photographers will assist you in "seeing" before "shooting" and share some of the ways to make a good photograph a great photograph.
