Jeep tours in the Verde Valley

We list seven off-road tour operators in the valley, six in Sedona and one in Cottonwood. Every detail here comes from each company’s own website, checked on the date above.

Seven listings, five companies. Three of the Sedona listings, A Day in the West, Red Rock Western Jeep Tours and Sedona Offroad Adventures, check in at the same address on West State Route 89A and publish the same contact email address. They’re three separate brands with their own names, phone numbers and booking sites, and we list them separately because that’s how you’ll meet them. But underneath they’re one company. If you’re calling around for a seat on a busy weekend, those three calls reach the same operation. Treat them as one and move on to the others.

The genuinely separate companies are Pink Adventure Tours and Earth Wisdom Tours, both on North State Route 89A in Uptown Sedona; Arizona Safari Jeep Tours, just off 89A on Jordan Road; the three-brand operation on the west side; and Northwoods Powersports Adventures in Cottonwood.

Not everything here is a Jeep. Sedona Offroad Adventures runs Hummers. Pink Adventure Tours runs open-top Jeep Wranglers. Northwoods in Cottonwood is the odd one, and the one to read carefully. It rents ATVs and UTVs for you to drive yourself, and there’s no guide in the vehicle. If you want someone else doing the driving and the talking, that isn’t the one. If you’d rather be on your own, it’s the only choice on this page.

Where you start changes your morning. The Uptown companies put you in the busiest part of Sedona, and parking is what people get wrong there. Pay stations along 89A want your license plate number, so photograph your plate before you walk off, or pay through the Passport Parking app using zone 846. There are free lots in Uptown with posted time limits. The west-side depot on 89A sits away from that squeeze. Our Sedona jeep tours guide goes through the parking in more detail.

Before you book, two things are worth a phone call instead of a guess. Only one company on this page publishes its hours on its own site, Arizona Safari Jeep Tours, open 7am to 6pm daily. For the rest you’re working off tour departure times and not an office that’s reliably open. Tours here also sell out. Pink Adventure Tours says so plainly on its own site, and it’s the largest operator of the group.

If nothing here fits, the tours listings cover guided trips that aren’t off-road, and Cottonwood’s own jeep tours page is where the self-drive rental sits.

Guided off road tours leave from 2900 W State Route 89A in Sedona. Trips run in a Hummer rather than a passenger car, with a driver who doubles as the guide and talks about the land you cross. Tours last about 2 hours and take families, with children 3 and up welcome, so this is a reasonable outing for mixed age groups. Seats are forward facing. Booking ahead is wise, because private trips fill and departure times are set. Call (928) 282-6656 or email contactus@rasedona.com to check what is running on the day you want and to ask about prices and cancellation terms.
