Sedona Stargazing Tour

Posted By : donnap223
The instructor was very knowledgeable – perhaps too knowledgeable for people who just wanted some general information and an opportunity to see stars through his telescope. We met our guide/assistant in a dark parking lot, and we walked through a school sports field. Chairs were aligned in a semi circle with a blanket on each seat. The instructor sat in front of the group but it was too dark to actually see him. You also had to listen closely to hear him. Large telescopes were positioned behind the chairs for groups of 5-6 people. We listened to explanations/descriptions, and then we walked to the telescope to try to observe. The assistant came around to each group to try to help us. Saw some interesting things but not something we would visit again

Stargazing Tour cancelled due to weather conditions. So very disappointing as skies looked clear with limited scattered clouds.

Not mad, just sad. Seven hour drive from home so we couldn’t reschedule.

Regards,

It was so much fun and the sky looked beautiful! It was great to see the stars through the cool telescope. The guide was great and very informative.

You see and learn a lot . Very good Equipment. Enough time for each to look several time through the teleskop and ask questions .

My wife and I were looking forward to our stargazing tour with Sedona Stargazing Tour, scheduled for 10:30 PM on a Thursday. Unfortunately, due to poor communication from the company, we could not participate.

Initially, we received an email indicating a time change to 9:00 PM, which was manageable. Following the instructions, we arrived at the designated location by 8:35 PM but found no signs or staff to confirm we were in the right place. Despite arriving early and driving around to ensure we hadn't missed anything, by 9:05 PM, it was clear something was amiss.

With no cell service in the area, we had to drive out to make a call. When we finally reached someone from the company, we were informed that the tour had been canceled and that a notification had been sent via text – a text we never received. Our primary communication had been through email, and not having access to our usual cell numbers due to using a temporary US SIM card seems to have complicated the matter.

It was frustrating and disappointing to miss out on what could have been a memorable part of our trip. Better consistency in communication methods or ensuring all guests' contact preferences are accommodated could prevent such issues in the future.

great experience. The guide was forthwithe with information about the stars. The telescopes were top notch and easy to understand. This was one of the highlights of our trip out west. Take the time to do this, it well worth it.

Stunning view of the stars! Learned a lot about astronomy and even got to see a StarLink Satellite launch. Tour guides were very knowledgable and I appreciated the warm blanket provided. I saw my first shooting star. Would recommend to any one visiting Sedona!

This was quite expensive (I knew that before paying), but I expected to see the planets much larger & clearer through the telescopes, maybe that was a wrong assumption since this is my first time using high-powered telescopes. I would say save your money & find a dark road to look
at the stars (unless they come down on these prices).

For true enthusiasts of astronomy. Definitely was informative and answered many questions I had on the movement of satelites, meteors and the physics of the earth. Thank you so much!
