This Sedona Night Sky Tour lasts two hours and five minutes and takes place at a single location chosen for its dark skies and clear views. Participants remain seated in provided chairs throughout the session. The guide uses various tools and models, including blankets, a laser pointer, a planisphere, a large constellation image screen, a geo poster, Kokopelli figures, play-doh Milky Way models, hula zodiac and Milky Way displays, and planetary size models to explain the night sky. The tour covers Greek and indigenous constellation stories, presents astronomy concepts related to the solar system and galaxy, and connects these to Sedona's natural features based on the guide’s decades of experience. Notable stars and constellations visible during the tour include the Northern Cross, Vega, Aquila, the Summer Triangle, Venus, the Big Dipper, Arcturus, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Draco, and Ophiuchus, among others. The presentation focuses on naked-eye astronomy without the use of telescopes. Guests are asked not to bring pets or alcohol. If the weather is cloudy, participants may cancel for a full refund at any time, even within 24 hours of the tour start. Sedona rarely has clouds at night, and local wind patterns often clear the sky during the tour. The guide has offered night sky tours for over six years and has conducted thousands of tours in Sedona since 2005, combining storytelling with detailed astronomy knowledge and engaging presentation skills.

Itinerary
Sedona
The main portion of the tour occurs in Sedona for about two hours. On the 1st and 3rd of the week, there is no moon, allowing optimal viewing of the Milky Way and numerous stars and constellations including the Northern Cross, Vega, Aquila, Summer Triangle, Venus, Big Dipper, Arcturus, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Draco, and Ophiuchus. The guide covers three elements: Greek and local indigenous constellation stories, an astronomy overview illustrating the movement of the solar system and galaxy as seen from Earth without telescopes, and links to a daytime vortex tour. Participants remain seated in one place with chairs provided. Pets and alcohol are prohibited.

Sedona
The guide has lived and explored Sedona extensively and has combined many years of experience into this night sky tour, which complements a daytime vortex tour also offered. The content reflects over thirty years of searching and learning from various teachers. The company name is Adventure Explore and Soar, though a technical issue caused the website to appear under the guide’s personal name.

Sedona
In case of cloudy weather, guests may cancel the tour for a full refund at their discretion regardless of the usual 24-hour cancellation policy. Sedona has infrequent rainfall averaging 17 inches annually, so cloudy nights are rare. Often, night winds from Oak Creek Canyon clear clouds before or during the tour.
