The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate and Snack
Bring a 1–2 liter water bottle per person—Sedona’s dry air and short walks at overlooks make hydration essential.
Sun Protection
Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat; sun reflects off the red sandstone and can intensify exposure even on cool days.
Declare Dietary Needs
Tell your guide about allergies or sugar restrictions before the tour so tastings can be tailored appropriately.
Comfortable Footwear
Closed-toe shoes are best for uneven pullouts and short viewpoint walks; sandals aren’t recommended.

Sedona’s red rocks are ancient sedimentary layers stained by iron minerals and shaped by uplift and erosion; the region has long been home to Indigenous peoples, including Navajo and Hopi communities.
