A Must Have Experience
This was our third ride with Apex, and it was every bit as thrilling as our first. Captain Steve was an excellent guide and pilot. Tali made sure we all knew what to expect and was very kind. And Sedona did what Sedona does: inspired and awed us with her beauty. A must- have experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for flying with us again! We’re honored to have been part of your third Apex experience and thrilled it was just as exciting as your first. Steve and Tali will truly appreciate your kind words. Sedona never disappoints, and we’re so glad its beauty continues to inspire and amaze you. We look forward to welcoming you back for ride number four!

Better than a ballon tide
This was an amazing tour with our pilot Steve and loader Connor. We had originally planned a balloon ride that was cancelled twice and it was actually to our benefit. The helicopter tour was informative and fun. Went thru the 2nd largest canyon in Arizona, Sycamore along with several other canyons and saw things so much closer than a balloon ride would have been. Also spotted some elk in a couple sightings .

Must do on Sedona trip
The tour was beautiful beyond words. We got to see areas we could not have accessed otherwise. The beautiful scenery brought tears to my eyes. Our pilot Steve was amazing at maneuvering to ensure we saw many landmarks including ruins we had not known existed in the Sycamore canyon.

Amazing!
Wow, what a fabulous trip. Captain Steve and Connor did a super job giving us memories. Steve narrated the journey giving us the best angle for pictures and sharing some of his knowledge of the canyons. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Best Helicopter Experience Ever
Best helicopter experience ever! If there is any way you can mange it do the Mogollon Rim trip. Steve the pilot was excellent and we felt safe and secure. Get up close and personal with canyons, cave dwellings, mountain sides and more. Fantastic way to get a birds eye view of the surrounding Sedona area - even more fun if you have explored some of it on the ground already.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.
How much does Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $756 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sedona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sedona is not rushed.
Is Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sedona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sedona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sedona and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mogollon Rim (80+ Mile) - Sedona Helicopter Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sedona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sedona?
+
Sedona's activity market is dominated by off-road jeep tours, and the difference between operators comes down to which trails they are permitted to run. Beyond that: vortex and energy walks, hot air balloon lifts at dawn, stargazing sessions in one of the darkest skies in the country, and Grand Canyon day runs north. We rank on permit access and group size. On Outty we rank every Sedona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Grand Canyon Complete Tour from Sedona or Flagstaff, Sedona’s ONLY Guided ATV Tour: Western Red Rock Backcountry, Sedona Off-Road Jeep Tour: Rugged Western Canyons & Wildlife. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sedona?
+
March to May and September to November. Summer afternoons bring monsoon storms. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sedona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
