Weather and Alternative Options
Since this is an outdoor, nighttime adventure, weather can influence the experience. If conditions aren’t ideal—say, it’s clear but cold or rainy—the guides will switch to alternative destinations to keep the experience engaging. It’s good to be prepared with weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes.
Who Is This Tour Best For?

This experience is perfect for adventure seekers, mystery enthusiasts, and those intrigued by UFO lore. It’s also great for anyone who enjoys storytelling and doesn’t mind a little bump in the dirt roads. Because the focus is on unexplained phenomena and the land’s spiritual energy, it’s not a traditional sightseeing tour. If you’re traveling with children, keep in mind the terrain and the darkness, but older kids or teens interested in space or mysteries might find it fascinating.
This tour wouldn’t be ideal if you’re looking for a relaxed, sightseeing experience or have mobility concerns, given the off-road ride and the nighttime setting. It’s also worth noting that sightings aren’t guaranteed—this is about the journey and stories more than a guaranteed extraterrestrial encounter.
The Value of the Experience

At $247 per person, this tour might seem a bit steep compared to standard jeep rides, but the inclusion of night vision goggles, personalized guidance, and the chance to explore some of Sedona’s most mysterious spots make it worthwhile. Many reviewers rave about the knowledgeability of guides, which adds credibility and excitement to the stories they tell. Guests have appreciated how the guides debunked man-made objects and shared authentic encounters, making the experience both fun and credible.
Considering the private nature of the trip, the off-road adventure, and the specialized focus on unexplained phenomena, the price feels more justified. If you’re into UFOs, extraterrestrials, or just love a compelling story told by passionate guides, this is a memorable way to spend a night in Sedona.
What We Loved (and Not So Much)

We really appreciated the expert guides, like Firefox, who not only shared stories but also demonstrated how to use night vision goggles effectively. The stories are engaging, and the local legends are truly captivating, especially when combined with the stunning desert views at night. The personalized, private experience adds a layer of intimacy you don’t get on larger tours, which makes the whole thing feel more special.
On the downside, the experience relies heavily on storytelling and sightings that aren’t guaranteed. If you’re expecting a night full of confirmed UFO sightings, you might be a little disappointed. Also, the rugged terrain may not appeal to everyone, especially if you’re not comfortable on uneven, unpaved paths at night.
