Shared Helicopter Tour- 45 Minute Sedona Wilderness Aerial Experience (Up to 6)

Ready to leave the crowds behind and see a wilder side of Sedona? In just under 35 minutes, you’ll soar above hidden canyons, roaming wildlife, and ancient ruins few visitors ever glimpse.

Your adventure begins at Sedona Airport, where you’ll settle into forward-facing seats and slip on noise-canceling headsets as the rotors come to life. Within moments of liftoff, the landscape transforms. The jagged red sandstone ridges of the Munds Mountain Wilderness spread out beneath you, draped in pinyon pine and sunlit slickrock.

As your pilot banks smoothly into Gunsight Pass, you’ll weave between towering canyon walls carved by ancient floods. Look down and you may spot elk or deer grazing in quiet gullies, or golden eagles riding thermals along the rim.

Then comes one of the most unforgettable sights of the flight.

Hovering above Boynton Canyon, you’ll see cliffside Sinagua dwellings tucked into ochre rock walls, preserved for centuries and nearly impossible to view from the ground. From this vantage point, their scale and ingenuity become strikingly clear.

Throughout the journey, your pilot’s live narration connects the geology, wildlife, and ancestral history unfolding beneath you. In the small-group setting (maximum six passengers), every seat offers unobstructed panoramic views, and the climate-controlled cabin keeps you comfortable as desert light shifts across sandstone towers.

If you choose a sunset departure, you’ll watch the landscape change color in real time; deep reds turning amber, shadows stretching across hidden alcoves of the Secret Wilderness Area.

In less than 35 minutes, you’ll cover 45 miles of terrain that would take days to explore on foot. No hiking boots. No dust. Just big-sky views, rare access, and the thrill of seeing Sedona from above.

You’ll land back at Sedona Airport with a fresh perspective and the sense that you’ve just discovered a side of Sedona most travelers never will.
