Sedona Air & Jeep Tour- 2.5 Hour Flightseeing and Schnebly Hill Jeep Adventure (Up to 6)

See Sedona from two unforgettable angles—soaring above the red rocks and rolling through them on a rugged Jeep trail. The flight gives you a bird’s‑eye sweep of formations most travelers never see clearly. Then the Jeep takes you straight into the backcountry for stories, scenery, and views that hit completely differently on the ground.

A note for nervous flyers: These aren't commercial jets. The sightseeing aircraft used on this tour are purpose-built for low-altitude scenic flying, stable, smooth, and equipped with large viewing windows that put the landscape front and center. Most guests who board with some apprehension step off wishing the flight had lasted longer. The routes are carefully selected for smooth air, the pilots are experienced scenic flight specialists, and the entire experience is designed to feel comfortable rather than thrilling. If you have specific concerns, mention them at check-in, the team is used to it and will make sure you're settled before takeoff.

This two‑part adventure gives you the most complete look at Sedona’s red rock country in a single outing. It begins at the airport, where you board a small, comfortable aircraft with wide windows made for sightseeing. As the plane lifts off, the landscape opens up fast—Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Courthouse Butte, and the deep folds of Oak Creek Canyon all come into view. From above, you can see how the mesas connect, how the canyons twist, and how the colors shift with the sun. It’s a perspective that makes Sedona feel even more dramatic.

The second half of the experience begins: a guided Jeep ride up Schnebly Hill Road. Named after the Schnebly family, among Sedona's earliest settlers, this historic unpaved route climbs 1,500 feet through some of the most dramatic red rock terrain in the entire Southwest. It was originally carved by hand in the early 1900s and served as one of the only routes connecting Sedona to Flagstaff before paved roads arrived. Today it remains unpaved by design, a living piece of Arizona history that most visitors drive right past without knowing it exists. Your guide handles the rocky sandstone ledges and winding switchbacks while sharing stories about the area's geology, the Schnebly family, and the formations rising around you at every turn. The higher you climb, the wider the views become, layered cliffs, forested slopes, and the full sweep of Sedona's red rock amphitheater spreading out below.

What You'll Experience

• A 30-minute scenic flight over Sedona's red rock formations with large viewing windows and a local pilot narrating landmarks
• Aerial views of Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Courthouse Butte, and the sweeping curves of Oak Creek Canyon
• A smooth transition from the airport directly into your private Jeep for the ground portion
• A guided climb up Schnebly Hill Road, one of Arizona's most spectacular unpaved drives, rising 1,500 feet through layered sandstone cliffs
• Panoramic views of the entire Sedona basin from elevation, a perspective you can't reach on foot
• Scenic stops for photos, stories, and a closer look at the formations rising around you

Choose this tour if you want:

• The most complete way to experience Sedona in a single outing, from the air and deep into the backcountry
• An aerial perspective of Sedona's iconic formations that ground-level visitors simply never get. Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, Courthouse Butte, and Oak Creek Canyon all look completely different from above.
• A guided Jeep climb up Schnebly Hill Road, one of the most dramatic unpaved scenic drives in the entire Southwest
• Two expert guides in one tour, a scenic flight pilot who knows the landscape from above and a Jeep guide who knows every rock and story on the ground
• A half-day adventure that packs in more than most full-day tours
• Better per-person value the more people you bring, ideal for couples, families, and small groups

Skip it if you're looking for:

• A full-day experience with lunch included (our Grand Canyon or Antelope Canyon air tours are a better fit)
• A tour without flying. If small aircraft aren't your preference, our standalone Jeep tours are a great fit
• Extreme off-road terrain. The Schnebly Hill Jeep portion is rugged and bumpy but not as intense as our Diamondback Gulch tour
• A long backcountry journey. This tour is efficient by design, 2.5 hours from start to finish
