We can visit panoramas with 360 degree views, get up close to Sedona’s majestic red sandstone walls, spend time honoring spiritually powerful sites, and appreciate the serene and overwhelming beauty of this area. This is also a wonderful option to do as a sunset tour.

A magical, mystical, blissful tour of Sedona’s hidden gems. Along with warm humor and great knowledge, Max is an exceptional ambassador for Sedona.
Thank you for the wonderful memories.
Couldn’t imagine a better guide for our interests. The total experience went beyond our expectations. We did two half day tours in Sedona. Mike took us to the less traveled routes to the spectacular mountains. If you were interested, Mike welcomed and would willing comment on the landscape, local history, rock formations, plant biology, bio-diversity relationships, etc. He exuded a genuine pleasure in what he was doing at all times. He made our trip.
FAQs
We are private and custom and, as such, no two tours are exactly alike. Our aim is getting off the beaten path and showing you an experience in Red Rock Country that you wouldn’t find on your own. Every tour is designed with each individual client in mind. We work with you to customize your experience based on your interests and your desired activity level. We can spend our entire time hiking or we can spend the tour in one of our comfortable and capable 4×4 SUV’s visiting remote areas via Sedona’s backroads. Our favorite tours generally involve a bit of both!
Sedona has over 300 days of sunshine a year and an average temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit. However, we also experience freezing temperatures, snow, rain, and heavy winds. Some of the most incredible days in Sedona and Grand Canyon are when we have dramatic skies. Pay attention to weather forecasts but don’t let these discourage you. We have a saying, “If you don’t like the weather just wait 30 minutes!”.
No matter the time of year, having layers is always wise. The weather in the Southwest is quite variable and being able to get cooler or warmer on the fly is a helpful strategy. We always recommend clothing and shoes that you are comfortable being active in, hats, and sunglasses. In the warmer months a sun shirt can help shield your body from direct sunlight. In the cooler months it is nice to have a lightweight puffy or outer layer to cozy up into if the weather turns chilly. Depending on the forecast a rain shell is always a wise choice.
We will pick you up at your lodge, hotel, Airbnb, or whatever location is most convenient for you and your group.

We drive the most capable SUV’s on the planet, AKA Toyota Land Cruisers and Lexus LX 570’s.

We do not have an age minimum. This is left up to the parents/guardians to decide what is appropriate.
