Highlights
  • Sedona - SPECIAL NOTE: AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED WITH VIATOR AND MY SITE FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER. IT’S SHOWING NO BOOKINGS AVAILABLE WHEN THERE IS AVAILABILITY. I HAVE OPENINGS THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER THIRD, AND EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY THEREAFTER. THEY ARE WORKING ON IT. PLEASE CALL VIATOR IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND THEY CAN CALL ME. THE VIATOR CASE NUMBER IS 19276634. THANK YOU! :)

You can expect great stories, visuals, amazing cosmic information, and some of the phenomenal aspects of my Sedona daytime tour called “The Experiential and Scientific Vortex Tour”.
I’ve been doing this night sky tour for over five years. I added it to this site on Viator June of 2022.

Please dress warmly in the Fall and Winter months. I will provide blankets and hand warmers :)

My credentials: I have been guiding since 2005 and have conducted thousands of tours. I’m a well-known guide and guide trainer here, especially at Safari tours. I have lived, adventured, and explored this areas since 1996 :)

  • Sedona - Additional Information:

1.The name of my company is Adventure Explore and Soar. There was a non correctable computer error made in the set up that resulted in me having to name this Viator site after my name instead of my company name.

  1. There is no hiking done in this tour. We stay at one location and there are chairs to sit in.

  2. Please refrain from bringing pets.

Thank you so much!

  • Sedona - IF THE WEATHER IS CLOUDY
    Clouds happen seldom In Sedona at night, as we only get an average of 17 inches of rainfall a year. However, it can happen, especially in the monsoon season of August. Some who book this tour are concerned about if it’s cloudy the night of the tour and we are already inside the time frame of the 24 cancellation policy.
    This information is intended to put your mind
    at ease with this. IF IT’S CLOUDY THE NIGHT OF YOUR TOUR, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CANCELL FOR A FULL REFUND UP TO THE TIME THE TOUR STARTS, REGARDLESS OF THE 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY. The idea here is to give the tour a chance to take place. The clouds often clear shortly before the tour and make for a beautiful night sky tour because the winds out of the Oak Creek canyon change directions at night and often push the clouds out. :)
What's Included
  • Seating arrangements with chairs and blankets
  • Use of laser pointer for star identification
  • Planisphere provided for easy navigation of the night sky
  • Constellation images displayed on a large screen
  • Geo poster to illustrate complex concepts visually

So many stats to see - Chad was our guide of the night sky. He was knowledgeable and well prepared. He had a screen to help with the explanations of the sky and better view the constellations. We had chairs and blankets for a cool evening. Chad’s laser pointer was so helpful in identifying stars and constellations. We had a clear sky with so many stars! Thank you chad!

Constellations and Shooting Stars - I truly loved the stories of zodiac findings in the beautiful night sky. Chairs were set up (also with the very helpful assistance of Macca) with chairs and blankets. Our guide through the stars was very knowledgeable and made spotting the constellations easy using a laser. It was extremely cold and my husband was not interested in the stories he knew and was extremely uncomfortable and uninterested after a short time. So, for some it will be very interesting and some may not find it for their liking. Thanks, Chad for continuing this. Make sure if you come check the weather for the evening and dress appropriately, you may even see a shooting star as some in our group did!!!

Suggest he post a broom sign on his trailer to help in locating his site-it was a little difficult to determine exact lo - Chad was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Good location. He provided comfortable chairs & warm blankets. He used a laser pointer to help locate constellations.

Not worth it. - Not worth it. Overpriced. Too much info. on Greek mythology & complex concepts and the 2 hours feels like an eternity. I honestly would have paid more to have it end earlier.
