Monument Valley holidays
Located on the border of Arizona and Utah, Monument Valley is famous for its monolithic, otherworldly sandstone formations. Thanks to these striking Mars-red buttes and dramatic desert panoramas, it has served as the setting for many a Hollywood blockbuster. The valley is also a Navajo Tribal Park, and has been the home of Navajo families for generations. Most of the major monuments can be seen along a 27-kilometre dirt road. However, to explore further, you will need to hire a Navajo guide.

The Mirage 1 was a clean and efficient boat with a colonial style and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Everyone was amazingly attentive, punctual and friendly. One of our best holidays ever. Really it was a great adventure - thank you Cox & Kings.

Mrs Anne Blaseby"
"I am writing to commend Cox & Kings for organizing such a successful tour of Sri Lanka. It provided a perfect introduction to a lovely land and insight into a culture very different to our own. Our guide, was an inspiration to us all, with his wide-ranging knowledge of country, history, culture, and specialist knowledge of many subjects. I am grateful to have enjoyed such a wonderful travelling experience and hope that it will not be long before I have the opportunity to travel again with Cox & Kings.
