    Phenomenal end to a wonderful week!!

    Josh and Tali were great hosts, getting us safely to the tarmac and onto helicopter. We had the perfect shots, soaring above majestic stone sculptures. To see each rock up close and personal is UNFORGETTABLE! We swooped and glided around with people on trails below. We saw homes tucked in forests and had a Birds Eye view of Devil’s Bridge.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review! We’re so glad Josh and Tali helped make your experience unforgettable. Seeing Sedona’s incredible rock formations and landmarks from above truly is something special, and we’re happy you enjoyed every moment of the flight. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure someday!

    Helicopter tour in Sedona

    Excellent tour given the time we had. Went with my daughter. The experience to see the beauty from the air was out of this world. Our pilot Steve was an army veteran and we were in very good hands.

    Great helicopter tour!

    We had a fantastic time! We booked a Secret Wilderness Sunset flight. Connor did a great job of checking us in and getting us to and from/ in and out of the helicopter safely. Our pilot, Josh, gave us a very smooth flight and did a great job narrating everything we saw. He was very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour!

    Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.

    How much does Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $604 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 Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.6 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 Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset 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 Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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 0.6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Secret Wilderness Sedona Helicopter Sunset 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.
