Red Rock Jeep Tours · West Sedona
Red Rock Jeep Tours takes your own group of two to six off-road from West Sedona toward Seven Canyons after dark, with a guide who talks you through the stars. Pick it for the ride and the privacy more than for telescope views.
This is a jeep tour that happens at night. Red Rock Jeep Tours picks the group up at its travel center on the west side of Sedona, close to the trails, and drives out past Seven Canyons in a private 4x4. Only your group rides: two to six people. Guests describe a bumpy off-road ride, a guide full of stories, and a stop at a dark spot to look up.
Set your expectations on the stars. The inclusions list only private transportation: no telescope is listed. One guest says the guide used a star map to explain what they were seeing. Another booked during a super full moon and saw few stars. Pick a night near the new moon and treat the sky as a bonus to the drive.
The price is $219 per person with a minimum of two, so $438 for a couple. Two of the 15 reviewers felt it was not worth the price. The listing does not allow pregnant guests, is not recommended with back problems, and requires children to be at least three. Dogs are welcome, which is rare for any tour.
Meet at 2900 W State Rte 89A, on the west side of town near the trails.
The jeep leaves the pavement. Guests call the road bumpy, as you would expect.
The guide stops away from town lights and talks you through the constellations.
The tour ends where it began.
★★★★★Maverick was a fantastic driver...knowledgeable and safe. The road was bumpy, as would be expected on an off-road tour. The views were incredible and we were fortunate to book on the night of a lunar eclipse.
★★★★★Our guide was full of stories about the stars and astronomy. He took us to a place with a dark sky and the show was amazing ! I highly recommend doing this trip.
★★★★★While we didn't get to see many stars due to the Super full moon, he made the trip memorable and fun! He provided us with a lot of interesting commentary about the area as well as made sure we were comfortable with the ride!
