FABULOUS!
Amazing experience with Shay. Great communications and very clear on meet up point. This isn't a hokey UFO tour. This is the real deal! We saw so much and Shay gave us so much information to absorb. We are not alone! Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

The Real Deal.
I went on Sunday March first with friends, all who were open minded about this experience. There are no words that can accurately convey how fabulous this tour was. Shay was friendly , open , clear about what this experience would be. She knows what she doing and share her own experiences. All I can say is…”Go” ! Carole P

Operator Surprised by Full Moon
Here’s a thing. This trip was cancelled by the operator 25 hours before check in. The reason? An upcoming full moon. Apparently, the astronomers who run this tour were surprised by this. My tip is, check the moon phase before making reservations.
Response from the operator: It is such a shame that someone would leave a one star review when we cancelled the tour not 25 hours in advance but 28 HOURS IN ADVANCE. We protect the safety of our travelers first and foremost. This tour was cancelled because after being out on tour the night before, the moon was at a different altitude and brighter at 77% then expected. The moon for Saturday's tour (tonight) was to be at 97% illumination and once again at an altitude that could have posed serious risks to our guests eyes and our equipment. Since August 2025 our company has been preparing for Supermoons by blocking out our calendar 3 days or so before a full moon and sometimes up to 5 days after a full moon. We were not "surprised" that the full moon is on Tuesday, but the astronomers and actual predictors of the full moon can only do so much. We state in our Tripadvisor listing and on our website to all travelers that weather or mother nature can cause some unforeseen circumstances that we will cancel tours if there is a safety concern. Our equipment is sensitive to extreme light and can bring a higher percentage of light into our guests eyes when the moon is too bright or in a position that washes out the sky. Unfortunately this sounds like you are more disappointed that you couldn't go on our tour which we understand, but there is a better way to stress your frustration then attempting to damage a company's reputation that has been built on transparency with our guests. This is the most complex experience in Sedona and requires not only planning for Sunset times, but the moon, its illumination and its position. Predictable data available to us at the time of your booking indicated a feasible location of the upcoming full moon as to not "wash out" the night sky during your tour time. This would have also provided an altitude that we deem safe.

Incredible! Dress warm.
Very knowledgeable tour guide. The military grade night vision goggles were incredible! Definitely with the price and time!

Disappointing Information:(
We were very excited about this tour and the possibility of seeing a UFO or a UAP. Our expectation was that we would be lucky enough to see one. The night goggles were great but we had to share by couple so for the price - not so great. There was lots to see moving in the sky above - too many to believe they were UFO's. Nothing jumped out that the things we saw were anything other than satellites (even though we were reassured they were not). Our guide Shay was a story teller and she was good at it - too bad it was mostly unbelievable statements that can be fact checked easily. When asked what was glowing behind the mesa she replied "we don't know" like this was a big mystery - it was most likely Flagstaff itself or Flagstaff airport. I was embarrassed for the couple we dragged along on this tour when Shay brought out "valuable" and "one-of-a-kind "artifacts that were given to her by connections she had with some Government or AREA 51 org that I can't remember. There is no way she would have anything in her possession that was of alien origin or such as she stated. Talking with others in our group all agreed her stories and statements were more unbelievable than UFOs at all! Only one couple was buying into it and they had been on the tour in the past. I would check out other tour groups of this type and read the reviews through thoroughly before booking.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sedona.
How much does The Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $175 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 Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 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 The Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 273 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 Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night 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 Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night Tour?
+
Around 96 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Original Sedona UFO and Stargazing Night 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.
