The astronomy concepts presented and aided by the models and many of the stories play off of the concepts and even connect many what would seem like hidden aspects of our modern culture to the ancient past. This tour represents the culmination of a lifetime of seeking adventure and the desire to answer questions. Thank you very much for your interest ::)

    2. Sedona

      Credentials continued: I have lived, adventured, and explored this area with a passion. I think the reviews of my Experiential and Scientific Vortex Tour also advertised on on this Viator site speak to this. What I impart on this Night Sky Tour as the tie in to my Vortex Tour is an amazing summation I'd say. It's a culmination of three decades of searching and synchronistic experiences, and encountering amazing teachers of all walks of life. Honestly, I would have paid MUCH more than the price of this tour to have had all the stories and information on this Night Sky Tour imparted to me in 2005 when I started as a professional guide. IF all of what I've said speaks to you, thank you very much for your interest in it all :) The name of my company is Adventure Explore and Soar. An unfixable technical error happened at the start up of this site and is the reason my site name is my name rather than the name of my company. I'm good with it though, perhaps it was meant to be :)

      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. 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 CANCEL FOR A FULL REFUND, BASED ON YOUR DISCRETION, REGARDLESS OF THE 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY. YOU CAN EVEN STAY FOR THE WHOLE TOUR AND STILL ASK FOR A REFUND. 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 because the "micro climate chimney winds" coming out of the Oak Creek canyon that change directions at night and often push the clouds out. :)

    4. Sedona

      Credentials: I've been doing night sky tours for over six years. I added it to this site on Viator June of 2022. I have been a night sky enthusiast all my life and have been on many star tours. I have thought extensively about space and the cosmos and have asked many questions. The astronomy concepts I present are my favorites of what I call "Big Picture Astronomy" as we travel amongst our solar system and galaxy on "Spaceship Earth". :) I think you will be amazed! The story telling is greatly enhanced I'd say by my love for telling them :) I'm also a musician, actor, dancer, practice mma, climb, swim, run, play basketball, and do many other physical activities that I'd say very much help my liveliness in it all :) I fell in love with Sedona in 1996 passing through and decided to stay. I started professional tour guiding in 2005 and have conducted thousands of tours of different kinds. I'm a well-known guide and guide trainer in Sedona, especially at Safari Tours :)

    Highlight of our Sedona stay!

    Great guide. Enjoyable and educational. Flexible to reschedule when our original session was cancelled due to weather. The seats and blankets were a plus. Highly recommend. We had the best time and loved seeing all the night sky had to offer. Thank you Chad!

    Umm, well . . .

    I don't know . . . I did learn about which stars were which, which groupings of stars were what, which ones were planets, a little history etc., but when it began to get a little cloudy - obviously not his fault - I got a lot of long ramblings about stuff that kinda was related but also felt like filler to justify the two hours. Maybe on a clearer night, there would have been more relative material to talk about.

    The Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 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 Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.1 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 Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 298 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 Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story 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 Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour?

    +

    Around 104 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 2.1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story 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, Kayak Tour on the Verde River. 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.

    What is included in The Night Sky Star Story, Galaxy, and Sedona Story Tour?

    +

    Included: Chairs, blankets, laser pointer, planisphere, constellation image big screen, geo poster w. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
