Seeing Sedona from the ground is beautiful—but seeing it from the sky? That’s unforgettable. Helicopter tours give you front-row seats to the red rock drama, soaring over canyons, spires, mesas, and ancient cliff dwellings you simply can’t access by foot or car. It’s an exhilarating way to experience the full scale of Sedona’s wild terrain, especially if you're short on time or craving that once-in-a-lifetime view.

There are several styles of heli tours to choose from, depending on how much time you’ve got and what kind of scenery you’re chasing. If you want to hit the highlights fast, the Anasazi Helicopter Tour is a great option—just 20 minutes, but it covers major sights like Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the ruins of the Sinagua people, all from a dramatic aerial view.

For a longer and more immersive flight, the Ancient’s Way Signature Tour is one of the most popular picks. At 35–40 minutes, this one gives you deep access into Sycamore Canyon, Secret Canyon, and remote wilderness areas that even most locals haven’t explored. It’s ideal if you want a mix of epic views and a deeper connection to the land’s cultural history.

Looking for something more romantic or just downright stunning? The Sedona Sunset Helicopter Ride is a fan favorite, especially for couples or photographers. The golden-hour lighting transforms the red rocks into glowing towers, and the skies are often at their calmest. It’s a spectacular way to wrap up the day.

If you’re after a straightforward yet scenic option, the Helicopter Tour in Sedona is a great intro-level flight with solid coverage of iconic landmarks and no fluff—perfect for first-timers or families with limited time.

Our Sedona helicopter experiences are curated by a local team that knows the best routes and operators—and we include niche options not found on bigger travel platforms. We also track seasonal trends (like fall colors and spring wildflowers) so you can time your flight for peak wow-factor.
