We loved our trip! Harry was a wonderful guide and we highly recommend this trip. We went in the morning and it was crisp and cool. We best the crowd out there so we were able to get some amazing pictures and enjoy the peace out there!

If you get the privilege to have little Deb as your driver, you will not be dissapointed! She took so many great photos of my partner and I, gave us a great history lesson and took us in some fun rugged trails. We left with our cheeks hurting from smiling so big!

Private 8 AM Jeep Tour to Seven Sacred Pools (Soldier's Pass Trail)

kurtweishaar, Nov 2025

Booking the early 8:00 AM private tour was the perfect choice for exploring the Soldier's Pass Trail and the Seven Sacred Pools. The early start meant we were able to enjoy the beautiful Red Rocks in the cool morning air, largely avoiding the crowds that appear later in the day. Our guide, whose knowledge of the area was impressive, handled the rugged, off-road terrain effortlessly. The private Jeep experience made the adventure feel intimate and allowed us to move at our own pace, stopping for photos whenever we wished. Highlights included navigating the thrilling 4x4 section of the trail and taking a short, scenic walk to view both the mesmerizing Devil's Kitchen sinkhole and the unique Seven Sacred Pools. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a thrilling yet serene way to experience Sedona’s exclusive backcountry trails. The combination of stunning scenery and an informative, private experience makes this a must-do.

Scenic. Soldier Pass

Erica_G, Sep 2025

We had a great tour on Soldiers pass to the sacred pools! Our guide was so informative about the area both on our tour and his local recommendations for other sites of interest and dining recommendations

It’s the journey

Albert_J, Sep 2025

Navigation very rough terrain was an experience in itself. Seeing the 7 sacred pools was not as amazing as but it was the journey not the destination that was the focus.
