What To Expect
This unforgettable evening begins with a vibrant Sedona sunset, washing the red rocks in gold and purple as the desert shifts into night mode. Once the sun slips below the horizon, the high desert comes alive, cooling off and revealing a quieter, more mysterious side. Sedona is a nationally certified Dark Sky City, offering pristine views of constellations, planets, and the Milky Way. With a high-powered laser pointer, your guide will trace the constellations above, bringing the night sky to life. We adjust our hiking routes throughout the year based on seasonal conditions, weather, and wildlife activity, ensuring the best experience possible. Along the way, your expert guide will share stories of desert wildlife and astronomy, and you’ll search for glowing scorpions with UV flashlights, an eerie and unforgettable highlight. These Moonlight Hikes offer peaceful solitude, cooler temperatures, and a lasting connection to the land. Come join us for an unforgettable experience!

5.00Our Sedona Stargazing tour was truly an 11/10 experience and hands-down the highlight of our entire trip! We had a group of 7 celebrating my birthday, and the entire evening exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, everything was seamless and stress-free. The shuttle pickup was incredibly convenient, and our guide, Ty, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. Ty thought of everything, there was a huge variety of snacks and drinks available the entire trip, plus all the hiking equipment we could possibly need. He was patient, engaging, and incredibly informative throughout both the hike and the stargazing experience. The views, the atmosphere, the stars, the stories — everything was unforgettable. You could tell how passionate Ty is about what he does, and it made the experience that much more special. Every single person in our group agreed this was the best excursion of our Sedona trip. If you’re considering booking this experience, do it and make sure you request Ty as your guide — you will not regret it! -Stephanie
