Seeing Sedona from the sky

chris, Sep 2023

We had an amazing helicopter tour! Starting with the staff greeting and preparing us for the flight to the amazing and knowledgeable pilot, Ken. The only negative thing to mention is that the trip had to end. Lol. Scenery in Sedona is breath-taking and utterly stunning. Would definitely use this company again.

Magical

Dan was great getting us checked in and answered many questions we had patiently. The pilot, Jake was well versed in the area’s landscape-pointing out and naming all the buttes and caverns. To see Sedona from above was magical! My wife and I highly recommend this tour!

A must do in Sedona.
