OVER 2,250 EXCELLENT TRIPADVISOR REVIEWS

Took the Outlaw Trail through the rugged rolling hills of Sedona's historic ranch country. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a great appreciation for the beauty of Sedona. He was also very conscious of litter prevention on the trails. Plenty of room within the jeep. The four of us highly recommend this hometown company. Enjoy!

This was definitely a highlight of our stay—and most of the thanks goes to our guide, Captain Jack. He made the tour so much more than we expected. He was an educator, and it showed. Arizona Safari Jeep Tours is also locally owned and most of the other tours in Sedona are not!

The scenery was magnificent, and our tour guide was a hoot! Our driver/guide took that jeep over terrain that I was sure we would bottom out on - but we didn't. She took the big bumps slowly, so did not jostle us more than necessary. Lee knew the territory very well, and pointed out many fascinating details. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!

This was an excellent tour that covered a lot of ground and had great information! JC brought science and other tidbits to the tour, which was awesome to see how the spiritual, scientific, and historical all flow together/combine! There was humor and enough time at each place to be able to feel and get into the experience. Loved this tour!

We had a fun, informative, and wonderful tour with Wyatt as our guide. He shared the legends, history, and geology about Sedona with us and helped make our tour very enjoyable. He was very courteous, friendly, and professional. It was a pleasure to take the tour and enjoy Sedona's natural beauty.

CK was an exceptional guide. He knew the history of the city of Sedona, landmarks, the mountains, flowers, animals and culture in the area. We learned about the edible plants in the area, the indigenous culture and timelines for the valley: he also knew which movies had been filmed where and pointed out a cool Elvis spot. He made it an unforgettable experience for every person on the tour. The scenery was stunning, and he stopped frequently to allow everyone to take photos. It was the adventure we all needed in the comfort of a Jeep. We visited Sedona on spring break and the city was crowded. We opted for a Jeep tour, because we couldn't find parking to hike. We were in traffic and frustrated when a Safari jeep drove in front of us. My mother suggested we give them a call and try a tour. This was a great choice! It was pouring rain, and the tour we were supposed to take had been closed by the forest service. They opted for another trail that was opened, and had equally scenic views. They offered blankets, ponchos and the vehicle was heated . We got our adventure and left awestruck of the beauty and city. Excellent company, excellent tour and guide. Could not have asked for anything better.

This is not my first time touring the red rocks and mountains of Sedona. We booked the 90-minute tour, and it was a little cool with a chance of rain. We had Don for our tour guide. He seemed pretty knowledgeable about the history of the area. When you're sitting in the back, you will be sideways to the forward movement. Don liked taking off fast and braking hard. So we pretty much got a big dose of sideways whiplash. When we went down the bumpy dirty roads, Don liked going fast, and it felt like 50 mph. So you're getting hard bumps and side whiplash all through the tour. Visually, it is beautiful to see and learn about geology, etc. But I gotta tell you if you want to be sore and have neck and back aches for a couple days following the tour, then Don's your man. I've been on the Pink Jeep tour, and it was nothing like this rough drive. If I ever do another Red Rock tour, I would go with Pink Jeeps.

This was the BEST tour we've ever experienced in Sedona. Our guide was Lea - super knowledgeable about everything you wanted to know from Sedona's history, the foliage, vortex energy, bizarre alien phenomena, Hollywood's history filming in Sedona, havalina encounters - you ask the questions - she knew all the stories and answers. She constantly educated us with a great sense of kindness and humor. The ride up to our destination was lumpy, bumpy but it was just great fun. The views up and back down the road was beyond spectacular. We were fortunate to capture the sunset in the west and the moon rise over the mountains in the east simultaneously. Mahalo Lea for the experience and memories that will last us a lifetime!

Went on sunset Mogollon rim tour with Joe on 11/15/2023. Road up to & around the rim was VERY bumpy- not recommended for people who can't handle backroads 4x4 wheeling. However, the tour itself was so much fun! Joe was so knowledgeable and was a very smooth driver! He had a great sense of humor! His picture taking skill is top notch- we got some awesome pictures up on the Merry-go-round scenic spot. I would 100% recommend & also will definitely be booking another tour when we come back!

View from Merry-go-round

My wife and I decided to do one of these tours extremely last minute. We booked our reservation about 90 minutes before it started. We're glad we chose this company over the pink Jeep simply because the pink Jeep looked tacky and it was more expensive. Our driver, WYATT, was AWESOME! Extremely informative, very funny and personable and did a great job taking pics for us during the trip and provided our group with funny jokes. His driving skills were very impressive. I understand we are off-roading in a Jeep, it's expected to be a little rough at times. Our route was incredible with tons of amazing views. After doing it once, I probably wouldn't do it again, unless I came with another group. Highly recommend this place to others.

MAY 2023-- I stayed several days in Sedona and this was one of my favorite activities! My aunt and I opted for their 8am-10:30am Rim Run Supreme ($263.54 for two - gratuity/tip not included), which was fantastic. Warning: If you have any neck or back issues, do NOT book this tour, it's quite fun, but very bumpy. Our guide was Don (works Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday), who is AWESOME! He's friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, and professional. Ask him about the aliens! The views are breathtaking, and the experience is unforgettable. Highly recommend booking one of their expeditions! I met a gal named Holly in our group who has a spooky/paranormal podcast called Fireside Phantoms, check her out! NOTE: * No public restrooms are available and all the surrounding businesses don't open until 10am. Be mindful of your liquid intake! * Their $1 "FDA approved face mask" is a blue disposable mask. Don't bother. * Parties of 8+ automatically receive a 15% upfront gratuity/ tip. * 48-hour cancellation policy. * Open 364 days a year. Closed for Christmas. * Family owned! * Jeep tires are changed every four months.

I have taken a number of tours in sedona throughout the years. The vortex tour with Rob as our guide was absolutely the best one. Rob was not only friendly and informative, but he took extra steps to educate us about energy, earth and even plants. By the time our tour finished, we had real camaraderie with our fellow participants and ... of course ... Rob!

Here are my friend and I are on the tour with Rob in the foreground

Gorgeous views, powerful energy.

Wyatt was great! Really informative with geology and history of the area. He kept the mood fun while also doing a great job driving. He also engaged with us well and kept us entertained. Don't even get me started on the photos he takes!! 10/10!!

My husband and I recently took a trip to Sedona, AZ and we made our first adventure of this trip with Arizona Safari Jeep Tours. We booked the ultimate tour and had Michael M. As our tour guide. Michael was a fantastic tour guide and made the experience so memorable! Because of Michael I would give 10 stars if I could. He was so knowledgeable about all aspects of Sedona and we both felt like we had learned so much by the end of the tour. Not to mention it was a lot of fun. Next time we are in Sedona we will definitely be booking one of their others tours and hopefully we get Michael as a guide again!

My husband and I would like to send BIG THANK YOU to our guide JC of Arizona Safari Jeep tours for a wonderful time and a 5 star service on April 22 at our 8 am tour. He was knowledgeable, experienced, kind, funny and he showed us some cool spots, took pictures of us and other couple and we all had a fantastic time. The tour took almost 3 hours but time flew when we had fun. JC offered us some water & blankets. The road was bumpy and dusty so dress up appropriately and you may wanna bring sunglasses. All in all we'd highly recommend this local company

We had the pleasure of having Cowboy Jimmy as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about the terrain and the flora and fauna. Interesting stories about his Native American heritage and time as a bull rider in the rodeo. Beautiful country and excellent guide!

Wyatt was top notch. A true southern “desert” gentleman. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept us safe and laughing throughout our entire off-road adventure. Highly recommend Wyatt and A Day in the West to explore the wonders of Sedona.

This tour was by far the best tour we have ever been on. Our tour guide Max was not only informative but extremely knowledgable. He played the harmonica and took many beautiful pictures for us. We really enjoyed Max he made it very special for us.

My husband and I came to Sedona to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. Our first full day was spent with a Jeep tour, horseback riding, and wine tasting. We had a phenomenal time! I can't thank the staff enough for their kindness, the jokes, and the personalized time they spent making sure we enjoyed ourselves. If you are thinking of planning a day, they will not disappoint! We will be returning again soon.

First time visiting Sedona. Booked a jeep tour, our guide was Wyatt. He was amazing. Very informative, Great personality. He made this tour better than we had expected. Highly recommend this company A Day in the West and Wyatt. Thanks Wyatt for a great tour!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Morning tours are best for cooler temperatures and wildlife sightings.

Light, loose-fitting clothing, comfortable shoes with good traction, sunglasses and sunscreen are key; if visiting in the winter, bring a light jacket as well. Keep in mind that anything you wear will get dusty (so it's probably best to avoid white).

Seating capacity varies by tour. For example, A Day in the West Jeep tours have a six-person capacity, while Pink Adventure Tours' Jeeps seat nine people (in addition to the tour guide/driver).

Jeep Tours in Sedona- Are They Really Worth it?

Aug 10, 2022 | Arizona , Northern Arizona , Sedona

If you’ve ever looked up pictures of Sedona while planning a trip, I can almost guarantee you’ve seen a photo of a girl standing in front of a Pink Jeep. The “Pink Jeep” company actually started in Sedona in 1960, but now does tours in multiple locations in the country- but by far the most popular are in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. In this post, I am going to review multiple jeep tours in Sedona in addition to reviewing some roads you can travel in your own off-road vehicle.

Disclaimer: This post does include affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO A JEEP TOUR IN SEDONA?

I’m assuming that by the time you found this article, I don’t have to convince you to visit Sedona. Sedona is world-renowned for its beautiful red rocks and bountiful opportunities for adventures whether you’re young, old, outdoorsy, or indoorsy.

The awesome part about Sedona is that you can visit year-round. Sedona is usually 10-15 degrees cooler than Phoenix. I will warn you, Sedona gets hot in the summer! From June-August, the temperatures top off around 100 degrees. If you decide to tour during this time (I did), do it early in the morning or around sunset.

December-March is my favorite time to be in Sedona. It can get cold, but most of the time you can wear a t-shirt or light jacket. Most of the companies offer blankets or ponchos if inclement weather arises. Snow is few and far between in Sedona, but when it happens it’s beautiful and does melt fast, so doesn’t pose too much of a problem for tours.

SUMMARY: Any month of the year. If during the Summer, Early Morning or Sunset.

WHO DOES JEEP TOURS IN SEDONA?

There are a few main companies that do Jeep Tours in Sedona. Below I will review a few of the tours for each one, along with a review of what it’s like taking a private vehicle on some of the same roads.

PINK JEEP TOURS

Pink Jeep Tours is the most recognizable and most popular Jeep Tour in Sedona. As I mentioned earlier, they were founded in Sedona in 1960. They are located in Uptown Sedona by all the tourist shops and restaurants, which is convenient if you’ll already be there.

Location: 204 N State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336, open daily 6-8

A DAY IN THE WEST JEEP TOURS

A Day in the West Jeep Tours is a company with deep roots in the Sedona area. I have the most experience with this company. They are located in West Sedona, a few minutes away from Uptown. See them driving around town in their BRIGHT YELLOW jeeps.

Location: 2900 W State Rte 89A, Sedona, AZ 86336, open 7-7 daily

SAFARI JEEP TOURS

Safari Jeep Tours is another company located in downtown Sedona. Their jeeps are mostly black, with a red logo. They have been operating for about 15 years.

Location: 335 Jordan Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336, open daily 8-5

RED ROCK WESTERN JEEP TOURS

Red Rock Western Jeep Tours is also located in Uptown Sedona, and is very highly rated! They can be spotted throughout town and in the wilderness by their bright RED jeeps.

Location: 335 Jordan Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336, open daily 7-7

my opinion on jeep tours in sedona

Okay, let’s get into the details you are looking for. It would be impossible to give you my two sense on EVERY tour from each company, but I will summarize the main tours AND give you alternatives to jeep tours in Sedona. I have been to Sedona over 15 times since I moved to Arizona in 2014, so you can say I know a thing or two about the area! Let’s get started.

⇒ Broken Arrow Tour ($132/person)- This is one of the most popular, and most expensive, tours. This jeep tour goes deep into the wild of East Sedona. I think this tour is worth it because of how up close and personal you are with the red rocks, and how pretty the viewpoints are. Be aware, this trail is BUMPY! I would not suggest it for older people or those with significant joint pain.

Alternative: You can hike Brown Arrow Trail to Chicken Point (walking trail separate from off-road rail, but you will see Jeeps at the viewpoints)

Chicken Point, Sedona

NOT WORTH IT

⇒ Scenic Rim Tours ($69-90/person)- The scenic rim tour goes out to Schnebly Hill Road in East Sedona. This is one of the most popular off-road trails in Sedona. It is 12 miles in total, climbs over 2,000ft, and connects Sedona to the I-17 near Flagstaff. Don’t get me wrong, the views on this road are beautiful, but the road is just so bumpy and it feels like it never ends. You get so annoyed from knocking knees with your neighbor that the views become less important. When we got onto the smooth road again, I was SO HAPPY. I actually told myself that I’d never go on Schnebly Hill Road again unless it was with a RZR.

Alternative: You can drive with your own vehicle or rent a RZR (2-4 person ATV) to go on this road. You can also hike the Hangover rail from the Huckaby Trailhead on Schenbly Hill before the dirt road starts.

⇒ Diamondback Gulch Tour ($114/person)- This Jeep Tour in Sedona is on the West Side of the city on Forest Road 525. Again, it’s a beautiful place, but you’re pretty distant from the red rocks. In my opinion, if you are going to do a Jeep Tour, you should be up close and personal with the red rocks. I’ve camped and hiked in this area multiple times.

Alternative: You can drive with your own vehicle on FR525c to Robber’s Roost cave. You could also hike in West Sedona- one of my favorites is Doe Mountain.

Pink Jeep Tour on Schnebly Hill Road

⇒ Diamondback Gulch Tour ($89-129/person)- I know that above I said this same tour was NOT worth it for the Pink Jeep Tours, but if you were going to pick one tour from this company, I would do this one. It doesn’t get as up close to the rocks as some other routes, but it is beautiful! You’ll experience a rugged road on this route.

Alternative: Drive your own off-road vehicle on FR525c to Robber’s Roost Cave rail OR hike Doe Mountain

Doe Mountain Trail

⇒ Mogollon Rim Tour ($89-129/person)- I have personally done this tour. I have been to Sedona over 15 times and never did a Jeep Tour in Sedona until August of 2020 when my family was in town for my medical school graduation. I figured it would be a fun activity to do together, andddd they were willing to pay haha. I had always wanted to go up Schnebly Hill Road, so that’s why we did this route. In the past, I had tried to drive up from the bottom in my F150 truck and it was too much, so we turned around.

No doubt, this route was beautiful. It was just SOOOOO bumpy. I was over it in about 30 minutes. You’re constantly knocking knees with your neighbor and hitting your arms on the edge of the Jeep. I had such a bad headache and got so cranky by the end- I was never so excited to be on smooth road. And FYI, this is coming from someone who does off-roading in their own personal Jeep often. Nothing at all wrong with the company or the guide, but I would rather spend my money another way.

Alternative: Hike the Hangover Trail to get views of Schnebly Hill Road (park on the smooth part of Schnebly Hill Road).

⇒ Seven Canyons Tour ($89/person)- This Jeep Tour in Sedona travels up the Dry Creek Basin OHV trail in West Sedona into a canyon. I highly suggest this tour if you go with Safari Jeep Tours- only a few others use this trail. It’s also a beautiful area of Sedona Wilderness.

Alternative: Hike Boynton Canyon in West Sedona.

READ THIS NEXT

I made a complete trail review for Boynton Canyon to the Subway Cave. Read it here!

⇒ Rim Run Supreme Tour ($109/person)- As I mentioned before, I’m not a fan of this road. It’s long and extremely bumpy- I wouldn’t do it again.

⇒ Solider’s Pass Sedona Tour ($99-139/person)- This route is exclusive to Red Rock Western Jeep Tours in Sedona- which makes it worth it! This is a beautiful area that I’ve been to multiple times- you’ll be intimately up close and personal with the Red Rocks and get to see some of the most famous sights. I especially recommend this for people who can’t or don’t want to hike for whatever reason.

Alternative: Hike Soldier’s Pass Trail to see Devil’s Sinkhole, Seven Sacred Pools, and the caves.

⇒ Canyons & Cowboys Tour ($89-129/person)- This route is one of the most popular for this company. As mentioned above with Safari Jeep Tours, this Jeep Tour in Sedona travels up the Dry Creek Basin OHV trail in West Sedona into a canyon. It’s also a beautiful area of Sedona Wilderness.

Alternative: Hike Boynton Canyon Trail.

⇒ Sedona Old Bear Wallow Tour ($89-129/person)- As I mentioned before, I’m not a fan of this road. It’s long and extremely bumpy- I wouldn’t do it again. However, if you decide to do it- go down to Merry Go Round Rock and Window Rock.

ALTERNATIVES: ATV RENTAL OR PRIVATE VEHICLE TRIPS

We’ve just spent the last bit talking about formal Jeep Tours. Now I’d like to talk about some alternatives, including driving your own private vehicle, or renting an off-road vehicle. The first I’d like to mention is renting a multi-person ATV . You can rent a 1-4 person vehicle from West Sedona with Sedona ATV or similar companies. The cost is $375+ tax, which comes out to be between 90-100, pretty similar to the cost of Jeep Tours.

These vehicles can be dangerous, so you need to be careful. They have a much better suspension system than Jeeps, so riding up Schnebly Hill Road or similar roads won’t be as treacherous. I told myself if I ever go up Schnebly Hill Road again, I will only do it with an ATV. If you do take an ATV out, please keep music on low- everyone in the canyon can hear it-trust me!

PRIVATE VEHICLE

If you are road-ripping to Sedona from another area in Arizona or neighboring states, you can take your own Private Jeep Tour in Sedona. Most of these previously mentioned trails, including Schnebly Hill, Broken Arrow, and Diamondback Gulch are accessible to private vehicles. If you are renting a vehicle, I advise NOT going on these roads.

As I said before, years ago I took my F150 from the bottom of Schnebly Road near Uptown Sedona and I had to turn around. I decided to be stubborn and try out Schnebly again by coming from the top. Schnebly Hill is a 12-mile road connecting Uptown Sedona to the I-17 highway by Flagstaff, that climbs 2000ft in elevation.

I read on AllTrails that the top of Schnebly Hill Road isn’t as rough, and you can camp for free (dispersed camping), so I tried it out. The reviews were correct- the first 6 miles down to Schnebly Hill vista are very driveable. We camped 4 miles in + no one was around us.

After we set up camp, we decided to drive a mile and a half past the vista point to Merry-Go Round Rock. I was quickly reminded that I really don’t like driving on Schnebly. We did have a nice time visiting Window Rock and watching the sunset, but the bumps are just so bad. My jeep has high clearance and 4WD, but we still bottomed out on a few rocks.

Now I’m officially drive driving on this road unless by ATV, haha.

SUMMARY- ARE JEEP TOURS IN SEDONA WORTH IT?

YES AND NO.

YES, it’s worth it if it fits in your budget and you have time to explore other areas of Sedona while you’re there. I would NOT replace hiking with a Jeep Tour- you need to hike (if you’re able).

NO, it’s not worth it if you have a tight budget- your money could be used better elsewhere- like on a nice hotel or nice food. NO, the rim tour isn’t worth it. If you’re going to do a tour, do one that I recommended above.

Whatever you choose, please have fun and be safe!

I’ve lived in Phoenix, Arizona since 2014 and went on my first real hike in March 2015. Being in the middle of the mountains is an unbelievable experience. I promised myself from now on, I won’t live more than 15 minutes from a trail. I promise you’ll benefit from more time outside.

By career, I am a Physician Assistant, trained in Primary Care, Emergency Medicine, Sports Medicine, and Wilderness Medicine. I hope to use my knowledge to help prepare others to be safe outdoors. This is my prescription to you to GET OUTSIDE.
