Description
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.

Itinerary
Airport Mesa
Admission included30 min
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
30 min
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
30 min
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
40 min
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.
Operator response
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!💫

Thank you so much Malinda, as I am honored by your words.🙂
It was fantastic having you and Laura on tour.💫 Your interest and adventurous spirits were most appreciated and I'm so happy you liked the Geology and history (both native and pioneer) that are part of the explanation of why Sedona is such a reknowned vortex location. 💫💫
The idea is that the more you know, 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 Houston, future visits to Sedona, and other spiritual meccas and acclaimed vortex sites 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!
Operator response
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💫💛

The Man, Myth, Legend and his chicken!
Chad has a vast amount of knowledge! He is incredibly friendly and validating. He took us to lots of vortex sights including lesser known ones and had all the answers to our questions. He’s a local legend with secret knowledge that other tours don’t have! His pet chicken Bubba Dee only enhanced the experience! Geology is a specialty but knew much about the spiritual and energy world. He went above and beyond! Muchly recommend our friend Chad.
Operator response
Thank you so much Kalenn as it was so great being on tour with you, Kris, Trent, and Esther💫💫
You all were wonderful to be with and I so appreciated your enthusiasm, questions, comments, and willingness to explore and experience. You all said you may return and I look forward to that day if you do. Best wishes on your future adventures and explorations and Bubba D says "may you always soar"🌞🐔

Sedona Shared Secrets
Chad knows Sedona. He takes you to secret spots that you could never find on your own. He shares his extensive knowledge in a story that unravels in a most delightful way. His poster (that is worth a thousand words) ties together the vortexes, the energy and the geology of Sedona. After seeing Sedona with Chad you are unlikely to see it in the same way again. Highly recommended.
Operator response
Thank you so much Lee!
It was awesome meeting you and I so appreciated your enthusiasm and great questions and willingness to explore and experience 💫 Hats 👒 off as well to your granddaughter,
Annie, and her boy friend, Jaun, who also were went the distance. It's always so inspiring to me to see someone of any age be interested in the story here, and especially young ones like them. Thank you so much for helping to keep the history, geology, story, and experience alive💫
