Want to see Sedona from a whole new angle? Take to the skies. Flightseeing tours—whether by helicopter or small plane—are some of the most jaw-dropping ways to experience the red rock country. These aerial adventures give you front-row views of Sedona’s most iconic landmarks, minus the hiking boots or bumpy trails. Perfect for photography lovers, bucket-list travelers, or anyone short on time who still wants big views.

Helicopter tours are the top pick for most travelers. They’re smooth, compact, and loaded with wow factor. A quick 20–30 minute ride is all it takes to glide over Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and the lush canyons of Oak Creek. Some flights even pass by ancient cliff dwellings and remote wilderness areas that are nearly impossible to reach by foot. The Scenic Canyon Flight is one of the most popular options—it’s affordable, breathtaking, and gives you maximum beauty in minimum time.

Looking for something longer or more custom? Private helicopter charters and extended flights are available too. These are perfect for anniversaries, proposals, or folks who want to tack on a little Grand Canyon or Monument Valley action.

Small plane tours offer a more expansive view and are great for travelers who want to cover more ground. While less nimble than helicopters, these tours can be smoother over longer distances and are often more affordable per minute in the air.

Which flight should you pick?

• Short on time? The 30-minute helicopter tour gives you big views with zero effort—great for first-timers.

• Looking to impress? Go for a private sunset flight—romantic, unforgettable, and quieter than ground-level spots.

• Need more scenery per dollar? Small plane tours give you the most air time for your buck, with wide-angle views.
