Imagine cruising through the darkened Sedona desert, feeling the cool night air on your face as your guide takes you to a place where the land whispers secrets of strange lights, spirits, and celestial visitors. For about 2.5 hours at $247 per person, this private tour offers an unforgettable journey into the mysterious side of Arizona, led by guides with firsthand encounters and a knack for storytelling. You’ll visit the famed Bradshaw Ranch overlook, a site known for its unexplained phenomena, and use night vision equipment to attempt to see what’s often invisible to the naked eye.
What makes this tour stand out are two things we really appreciate: the knowledgeable guides who blend storytelling with scientific insights, and the use of night vision goggles which add a layer of excitement and authenticity to the experience. It’s not just a scenic ride; it’s an adventure that invites curiosity and a sense of wonder.
A possible consideration is that the ride can be mildly to moderately rugged, so if you’re not comfortable on rough terrain or in the dark, this might require some preparation. Plus, since sightings of UFOs or spirits are not guaranteed, you should come with an open mind rather than expecting a guaranteed extraterrestrial encounter.
This tour is well-suited for those who are fascinated by UFO stories, paranormal phenomena, or simply want a unique nighttime adventure in Sedona. It’s perfect for travelers who enjoy a mix of storytelling, nature, and a little bit of the unknown.

Some guides also bring spirit-sensing devices, offering a different dimension of the experience—a kind of supernatural “peek” into unseen energies.
