n Unforgettable Sedona Stargazing Experience
Our family had an incredible experience on this tour. It was enjoyable for both adults and kids! During our walk, we spotted scorpions, tarantulas, beetles, bats, a rabbit, and even a baby rattlesnake. The weather was perfect, comfortable and ideal for spending the evening outdoors. The night sky was absolutely breathtaking. I don't think I've ever seen so many stars in my life. Our guide, Ty, was exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced. He was patient, friendly, and very accommodating to our group's needs. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about the stars as well as his own experiences with nature, making the tour both educational and entertaining. The walk was relaxing, well-paced, and we felt safe throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sedona. It's a memorable experience that the whole family will enjoy.

Amazing experience!
We went on the Big Park Loop trail with Ty, and it was one of the best hiking experiences we’ve ever had! Ty was extremely knowledgeable and informative, yet still so easygoing and enjoyable to be around, it made our 4.5 hour hike feel much shorter. There is so much beautiful wildlife and nature to explore, and there is no better way to do it than with this company!

Fantastic Night Hiking Experience!
Our guide Ty was super knowledgeable about the plants, animals and stars on the hike as well as very engaging. The trail was a mix of level terrain and brief climbs. Best tour we took in Sedona!

Every single person in our group agreed this was the best excursion of our Sedona trip!
Our Sedona Stargazing tour was truly an 11/10 experience and hands-down the highlight of our entire trip! We had a group of 7 celebrating my birthday, and the entire evening exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, everything was seamless and stress-free. The shuttle pickup was incredibly convenient, and our guide, Ty, was absolutely amazing. From the moment we met him, he was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. Ty thought of everything, there was a huge variety of snacks and drinks available the entire trip, plus all the hiking equipment we could possibly need. He was patient, engaging, and incredibly informative throughout both the hike and the stargazing experience. The views, the atmosphere, the stars, the stories — everything was unforgettable. You could tell how passionate Ty is about what he does, and it made the experience that much more special. Every single person in our group agreed this was the best excursion of our Sedona trip. If you’re considering booking this experience, do it and make sure you request Ty as your guide — you will not regret it! -Stephanie

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.
How much does Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing?
+
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 Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sedona Night Hike and Stargazing 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.
