It’s a short ride but what a different way to see the red rocks and Sedona. Apex has their act together organizationally - waiting in a clean trailer with 2 clean bathrooms, short shuttle to the air strip with cofidence in the pilot who really know what he was doing. Beautiful day. beautiful trip.

Excellent experience! We were welcomed by Tali and Steve was our pilot. Both did a great job in explaining even minor details and made us feel very comfortable. Steve is a great guide and an even better pilot! He plays great music through our headsets that really sets the overall vibe. The view from above were great and we'd do it all over again! Definitely worth the splurge! Thank you!

Patricia_M, Mar 2026
This experience was absolutely amazing. Our pilot Joshua and Conner were both incredible. They were both informative. Josh shared so much information while flying and made the trip so memorable. Time flew by. Highly recommend!!

I got vortexed for the first time!

kristin_p, Mar 2026
I had such a great experience and I will definitely recommend this trip to my friends! Rosanne’s absolutely wonderful! I went knowing nothing about the vortex and I left knowing so much! Lots of beautiful views

Everything is quick and easy The pilot was awesome. Gave us an awesome tour of Sedona. I highly recommend this to everybody that goes to Sonia.

Breathtaking views

Lenny_A, Nov 2025
What an unforgettable adventure! Flying over Sedona’s red rocks was absolutely breathtaking, photos don’t do it justice. Our pilot made the ride fun, smooth, and full of interesting facts. An incredible experience to share with my fiancé, definitely a must-do in Sedona!

Sedona Helicopter Tour

Emily_R, Nov 2025
This helicopter tour was amazing! I should have gone on a longer one and will definitely do it again when I return to the area. Steve, my pilot, made the ride very smooth, safe, and informative! He even played some fun music.

great surprise for the wife

Dave_E, Nov 2025
Incredible is the only word that comes to mind. Great surprise for my wife that has never flown in a helicopter. The pilot was very good at his job and loves to interact with the customers along with being funny and great at sharing local information with the guests. I recommend the trip for anyone. Big Dave

The best helicopter ride

Brielle_M, Oct 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had the most incredible experience flying over Sedona! 🚁✨ From start to finish, everything was seamless — Connor in the office made the whole check-in process so easy and was super friendly, answering all my questions and helping calm my pre-flight nerves 😅. And our pilot, Steve, was absolutely amazing! He made the ride smooth, shared fun facts about the red rocks and vortexes, and even pointed out the best spots for photos. Seeing Sedona’s red rock formations from above is honestly something everyone should do at least once in their life — no photo or hike compares! 🌄 If you’re thinking about booking, do it. You’ll thank yourself later. Huge thanks again to Connor and Steve for making this such a memorable adventure! 🙌❤️

Great Views For Front Seats

Mihir_S, Oct 2025
The views are beautiful. However, there are two seats plus pilot in front which partially obstructs the views for the four seats right behind them. We were left straining our necks to see the views in front between their necks and large bodies, especially as the pilot was pointing at things with his finger which was also hard to see for rear passengers. If you are a couple, make sure you get the front seats for a fully immersive experience.

Absolutely worth every scent!!

Misty_G, Sept 2025
Absolutely worth every scent!! My daughter and I rode with Josh last year and it was awesome-only thing, I needed the front seat view. So when my friend and I came back to Sedona this time I got the front seats and it was definitely worth it!!!

Jeff was amazing and made...

Sam_V, Mar 2025
The helicopter ride was amazing! The views were great and our pilot, Josh, gave great commentary throughout. Connor helped get us set up and helped us feel very comfortable. 10/10 would recommend!

Helicopter ride

Randall_F, Mar 2025
Great experience! I don’t think there is a better way to see the Sedona region. We didn’t know if we wanted to spend the money but so glad we did! The staff and pilot were excellent!

Amazing

Lindsay_M, Feb 2025
Absolutely incredible! Ride was smooth, didn't make me feel nauseous, loved the tour guide. I had one day in Sedona and wanted to see as many of the beautiful landmarks as I possibly could within a few hours and knew that my options of making happened were slim... I found Apex tours and was able to see everything I had hoped to see and more, from EYE LEVEL! Thanks so much!!!!

Apex was very...

Devon_S, Jan 2025
Apex was very professional and Josh the pilot was exceptional and made the tour a lot of fun! The tour was very affordable as well.

Exceptional experience definitely recommend

Janet_F, Jan 2025
From start to finish this experience was wonderful and Geoff, our pilot was amazing, skilled, knowledgeable and friendly

INCREDIBLE!!!!

Richard_M, Oct 2024
INCREDIBLE!!! I don’t know how else to truly describe it. We went around 5/5:30pm when the sun was setting and WOW!!! The colors were so vibrant, a picture would never describe what you see with your eyes. Steve our pilot was so great!!! We got lucky with some perfect weather so he made sure our flight had a smooth take off, easy turns and maneuvering with a slow, smooth landing. Beyond worth every penny spent!!!!

Amazing

Lucas_W, Oct 2024
Very nice people they were really informative and helpful! I would definitely bring my family again!

Great views of Sedona

Vijay_J, Sept 2024
Great views of Sedona from above but a bit pricey. The ride was very smooth. Front seat views are the best but that adds to the price.

Best Sedona Experience!!

Misty_G, Sept 2024
What an amazing experience!!! Our Pilot was awesome and very informative!! Not a fan of flying and this was better than riding in a passenger plane!! Not scared for one second!!

Had so much fun
