The experience

The tour runs two hours and stays private. Just you, your guide, and the Jeep navigating the red rock landscape. Your guide will take you to places known for their vortex energies and show you ways to experience them yourself. Along the way you'll learn about the plants and animals living in this desert, the human history of the area, and why Sedona is considered a window to other worlds. The guide makes decisions on the day of your tour to enhance your experience, so specific destinations and times at each stop are not guaranteed.

Sedona sits about two and a half hours north of Phoenix in the northern Verde Valley, known for its towering red rocks and jagged sandstone buttes. The Red Rock Secret Mountain Wilderness spans 43,950 acres of wind and water-sculpted pinnacles, windows, arches, and slot canyons. One of the vortex sites you'll visit is a knoll where Rachel Patty Lunt, who was looking to purchase land in Sedona in the 1970s, reportedly felt energies moving through her body when she stepped on it. The tour involves short hikes on uneven ground, so wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, bring water, and dress for the season: layers in winter, light clothing in summer.

Your guide is a live English speaker who provides a digital copy of scientific vortex information by Pete A. Sanders, Jr. All fees and taxes are included in the price. The tour is open to travelers aged three and up with at least a moderate level of physical fitness. Service animals are allowed.
