The threefold tour mentioned above is a very unique line up :).
The astronomy concepts presented and aided by the models and
many of the stories play off of the concepts and even connect many what would seem like hidden aspects of our modern culture to the ancient past.
This tour represents the culmination of a lifetime of seeking adventure and the desire to answer questions. Thank you very much for your interest ::)

HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK: High visibility with no moon on tour! Plus Orion, Sirius, Casiopia, Leo, Gemini, Perseus, Pleiades, Jupiter, Big Dipper, Little Dipper, and many more! This engaging and entertaining tour is threefold: (1) Greek and local indigenous constellation star stories (2) Phenomenal "Big Picture" astronomical concepts of the cosmos that concentrate on what you can see with your own eyes (no telescopes) and your perspective from earth as we travel through our solar system and galaxy (3) connections to my day time tour...The Experiential And Scientific Vortex Tour. The stars tell some of its amazing history :) Please come join us under the cool night sky and prepare to "meet the Stars" goaling to increase your magic with them :) Please dress warmly. I will provide blankets and hand warmers :) We stay at one location and there are chairs to sit in. Please refrain from bringing pets and alcohol. Thank you so much!
Sedona
Credentials continued: I have lived, adventured, and explored this area with a passion. I think the reviews of my Experiential and Scientific Vortex Tour also advertised on on this Viator site speak to this. What I impart on this Night Sky Tour as the tie in to my Vortex Tour is an amazing summation I'd say. It's a culmination of three decades of searching and synchronistic experiences, and encountering amazing teachers of all walks of life. Honestly, I would have paid MUCH more than the price of this tour to have had all the stories and information on this Night Sky Tour imparted to me in 2005 when I started as a professional guide. IF all of what I've said speaks to you, thank you very much for your interest in it all :) The name of my company is Adventure Explore and Soar. An unfixable technical error happened at the start up of this site and is the reason my site name is my name rather than the name of my company. I'm good with it though, perhaps it was meant to be :)

What a fantastic evening! Chad Graf is an impactful and engaging storyteller! The event was very interactive with Chad taking time to get to know his audience. It was also very comfortable, even on a chilly evening, thanks to the blankets and handwarmers he provided. I thoroughly enjoyed the way he weaved together Greek mythology, Native American lore and science. From the Easter Bunny to Kokopelli to Walt Disney, Chad kept us engaged the entire evening. He also explained how the solar system's orbital plane intersects with the galactic equator. This is the first time I have been able to really visualize how this intersection affects which constellations we see through the year. He did it in five minutes using two hula hoops! Thanks for a wonderful evening Chad! I'll be repeating this adventure the next time I'm in Sedona!

Chad is funny and told a lot of stories regarding Native traditions, Astronomy and Astrology. ProTip: When you drive to the meeting spot, the paved road (Cultural Place) will end and you will enter dirt road. Just keep going straight and you will see his trailer at the end. There is no walk involved as you will park next to the viewing spot.

This was a very enjoyable experience. The chairs were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and hand warmers. The night wasn't completely clear although there were plenty of openings in the sky to give us lots to see and learn about. Our guide was enthusiastic and informative.

I guess if you knew very little about Astronomy and you had young kids you might be okay with it. We left early (an hour into it) but not that informative. Kids Might like silly jokes and being outside under blankets.

He tied all of the information together that made perfect sense. The stories and his presentations were great.

The Night Sky Story Tour was incredible! It’s the perfect mix of "big picture" astronomy and captivating storytelling that kept the whole group engaged. I especially loved the thoughtful touches—they provide camp chairs, blankets, and hand warmers, so you stay perfectly cozy while taking in the views. An absolute must-do if you want a comfortable, wonder-filled night under the stars!

Chad provides all of the things you need for a great experience, even if the clouds never clear the sky. Unfortunately, on our night, the clouds hung around but Chad still entertained us for 2 hours and helped us learn more about the night sky by discussing the Milky Way and the universe's "equator." Using an app on his phone connected to a TV, we were still able to see the constellations he discussed. At one point, Jupiter was bright enough to show through the clouds, but alas, no other celestial objects could be seen. Expect lots of laughs and a little audience participation. PS - Chad offers a full refund if the sky is cloud covered. You can attend the entire presentation and still request a refund however we felt that was unnecessary because even with cloud cover, Chad was entertaining and we had a lovely time sitting outside.

The weather during our activity this night was not the best. It was cloudy and lightly sprinkling, but we had an awesome time. The guy that gives the tour is hysterical and so entertaining. He was knowledgeable, an amazing storyteller, engaging and not at ALL "quirky" lol. He brought blankets, chairs and handwarmers and made the evening so cozy for the viewers. He also allows refunds at any point in time, even if you go the entire time he'll give you a refund. Even though we didnt get to see the stars that night, the evening was so fun! He also had a laser pointer to point out constellations while he was telling stories, it is well worth the money.
