• Sedona - This captivating and enjoyable tour offers three main features: (1) Greek and local indigenous constellation star stories (2) Incredible astronomical elements of the cosmos focusing on what is visible to the naked eye and the perspective from Earth as we journey through space, our solar system, and galaxy (3) Links to the daytime tour…The Experiential And Scientific Vortex Tour. The stars reveal some of their fascinating history :) Join us under the refreshing night sky and get ready to “meet the Stars,” aiming to enhance your connection with them :)

UNIQUE THIS WEEK:
The Milky Way will be at its most visible all year, and the moon will not rise during the tour hours this week, so the stars will shine their brightest!

Please dress warmly during the Fall and Winter months. Blankets and hand warmers will be provided :)

There is no hiking involved in this tour. We remain at one location with chairs available for seating.

Please avoid bringing pets.

Thank you very much!

• Sedona - Further Credentials: I have lived, adventured, and explored this area with great enthusiasm. The reviews of my Experiential and Scientific Vortex Tour, also advertised on this Viator site, reflect this. What I share on this Night Sky Tour as a connection to my Vortex Tour is an incredible summary, in my opinion. It’s the result of three decades of exploration, synchronistic experiences, and learning from remarkable teachers from all walks of life. Honestly, I would have paid MUCH more than the price of this tour to have received all the stories and information on this Night Sky Tour back in 2005 when I began as a professional guide. If everything I’ve mentioned resonates with you, thank you very much for your interest in it all :)

The name of my company is Adventure Explore and Soar. An unresolvable technical error occurred at the launch of this site, which is why my site name is my name rather than my company’s name. I’m comfortable with it, though; perhaps it was meant to be :)

• Sedona - Credentials: I have been conducting night sky tours for over five years. I added it to this site on Viator in June 2022. I have been passionate about the night sky all my life and have participated in many star tours. I have pondered extensively about space and the cosmos and have asked numerous questions. The astronomy I present includes my favorite concepts from the many incredible ideas I’ve learned about our vast starscape. I believe you will be amazed by them. The storytelling is greatly enhanced, I would say, by my love for sharing them :) I’m a musician, actor, dancer, practice MMA, climb, swim, run, play basketball, and engage in many other physical activities. I would say these attributes significantly contribute to my enthusiasm in it all :) I fell in love with Sedona in 1996 while passing through. I moved here from Indiana. I began professional tour guiding in 2005 and have conducted thousands of tours. I’m a well-known guide and guide trainer in Sedona, especially at Safari Tours :)

• Sedona - IF THE WEATHER IS CLOUDY:
  Clouds rarely occur in Sedona at night, as we only receive an average of 17 inches of rainfall annually. However, it can happen. Some who book this tour worry about cloudy weather on the night of the tour, especially if we are already within the 24-hour cancellation policy timeframe. This information is intended to ease your concerns. IF IT’S CLOUDY THE NIGHT OF YOUR TOUR, YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO CANCEL FOR A FULL REFUND UP TO THE TIME THE TOUR STARTS, BASED ON YOUR DISCRETION, REGARDLESS OF THE 24-HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY. The idea is to give the tour a chance to proceed. The clouds often clear shortly before the tour, creating a beautiful night because the “micro climate chimney winds” coming out of the Oak Creek canyon change directions at night and often push the clouds away. :)

• Seating arrangements with chairs and blankets
• Use of laser pointer for star identification
• Planisphere provided for easy navigation of the night sky
• Constellation images displayed on a large screen
• Geo poster to illustrate complex concepts visually
• Kokopelli culture sharing session
• Play-Doh activity to create your own Milky Way
• Hula-Zodiac demonstration connecting dance and astronomy
• Planetary size models for a hands-on experience

The threefold tour mentioned above is unique to any night sky tour I’ve been on. 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 ::)

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
