About this experience
This private tour is a reflection of years of guiding culminating in an opportunity for the guests to both experience and learn about the history, facts and theories of the Vortex phenomena. The concept is that the more one learns about the Vortex, the more one is able to connect to it and Sedona, thus deepening the experience of both. The potential geological influence is astounding and is part of a very unique anomaly that geologists come from all over the world to observe first hand. This is believed to be most prominent reason special energies exist here. This in turn has created a draw to the area for eons for people wanting to do spirit/vision quests, learn, heal, strengthen and tap into their creative side. This in turn might be the biggest reason why a certain unique ancient ancestral history evolved here and was preserved.... a history connecting and potentially helping to unite all of humanity.

What you'll see and do
Airport Mesa
At Airport Mesa Vortex. Guests will get to experience its energy as well as take in the spectacular view overlaying many other formations. From this vantage point we will see the layout of the town and what's called The Four Directions of Sedona. You will then be able to visualize how the rest of your tour will proceed. Key geological insights will be pointed out that potentially contribute to the Vortex Energy. Key locations to the Vortex history will also be pointed out here. Please note I'm adding additional information here because there wasn't a place to add it elsewhere on this site. The name of my company is Adventure Explore and Soar. I started it in July, 2021. There was a non correctable computer error made when setting up this site that resulted in me having to name this site after my name instead of my company name. Thank you for your interest :)

Chapel of the Holy Cross
This Vortex site has an amazing energy to feel and an incredible story behind it. Most leave with a great feeling after hearing the story and experiencing this site :) Please note here is some more additional information I could not add elsewhere on this site: I have been a guide since 2005 and have done thousands of tours in Sedona, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, and other areas of Arizona and the South West. I estimate I've done about 500 vortex tours for other companies and trained many guides for these tours as well. Thank you again for your interest ☺

Sedona
This is a local secret Vortex Site, so I cannot publish its name, hence the location being "Sedona, Sedona, Arizona." This site is my personal favorite of the acclaimed Vortexes. The views from it are incredible and there will be few people there. I witness many people having amazing positive feelings and reactions to this place, especially at its pinnacle spot. P.S. If you are unable to book this tour because I'm already booked up during your stay, I recommend these companies as an alternative: 1. Lisa Brewer of Oak Creek Canyon Tour Co 2. Tara Golden of Sedona Scavenger Hunts 3.. Robert Jackson of Blue Bear Tours 4. Chris and Neena of Grand Canyon Journeys

Sedona
This is also a local secret Vortex Site, so once again, the name is not published. This site has a spectacular indigenous ceremonial medicine wheel and labyrinth both built by local acclaimed medicine persons. I will do a calling of directions ceremony and afterwards guests can walk the labyrinth. We will then sit at a picnic table there and I will explain the "Grand Finally" of what is believed to make Sedona unique of the acclaimed energetic areas of the Southwest and why it was therefore given its unique indigenous name. Note: Guests are free to eat and drink in the vehicle and at some of the sites SO PLEASE PACK YOUR FAVORITE FOOD/LUNCH AND DRINKS WITH YOU :) You will probably need them to keep your energy up throughout tour. It's an adventure! :))

Amazing. A 'Must Do'
We had a fantastic tour we had with Chad. His natural curiosity, passion for life, learning, people, Sedona, and for sharing his wisdom and experience with his guests is inspiring and made the tour such a joy. We toured some very interesting locales with many a curious backstory and only wish we had done the tour early to set the scene for the rest of our Sedona Visit. Highly recommended.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Geoffry, as It was fantastic having you and Gosha on tour!💫 Your interest and adventurous spirits were most appreciated and I'm so happy you the tour enjoyable and inspiring 💫💫 And yes, one of the main ideas is that the more you know of the back ground story to Vortex of Sedona the more in touch with it you will be, and thus enhance the experience. I wish you both the very best in your journeys back in New York, future visits to Sedona, and other inspiring places of the world. May you both always soar!💫

It was an experience alright!
Chad! We are all so grateful that fate and a bit of research gave us the best tour guide ever! It felt like a friend taking us on a tour of their home town. Sedona was pure magic and can’t be seen in pictures, it must be felt. This tour gave us quite a lot of unique insight because this was more than a job to our guide. 100 stars!
Response from the operator: Thank you SO much Tabitha, as it was a fantastic day touring with you, Corrine, and Erika!💫🙂 I so appreciated your interests, questions, comments, and desire to experience 💫 Yes, thank you for doing the search to find Adventure Explore and Soar and I'm very glad you saw and felt my love for Sedona. I too saw that each of you has a special relationship to Sedona as well. I'd say It goes beyond distance. I'm sure you all will cycle in my thoughts and visions. Blessings💫💛

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.
How much does The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $250 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 The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour take?
+
Plan for about 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 The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 63 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 The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex 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 The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex Tour?
+
Around 22 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Experiential and Scientific Sedona Private Vortex 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.
