This unforgettable evening begins with a vibrant Sedona sunset, washing the red rocks in gold and purple as the desert shifts into night mode. Once the sun slips below the horizon, the high desert comes alive, cooling off and revealing a quieter, more mysterious side.

With a high-powered laser pointer, your guide will trace the constellations above, bringing the night sky to life. We adjust our hiking routes throughout the year based on seasonal conditions, weather, and wildlife activity, ensuring the best experience possible. Along the way, your expert guide will share stories of desert wildlife and astronomy, and you’ll search for glowing scorpions with UV flashlights, an eerie and unforgettable highlight.

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!
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!
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

Absolutely amazing experience. Gorgeous sunset highlighted behind the mountains. Our guide, Ty, was such a great guy lots of fun to talk to and extremely knowledgeable and forthcoming with information about everything we were seeing. We saw tons of scorpions, which was certainly a highlight for us. Highly recommended. Added bonus, much cooler at night.
