Taking a Sedona Pink Jeep tour
- Experiences , Travel Tips
- Feb 4, 2019
If you look up things to do in Sedona, Arizona, a Pink Jeep tour will likely pop up a the top of the list. And after doing one, I highly recommend giving it a try! Here’s everything you need to know before you head out.
You may be reading the Pink Adventure Tours website and thinking that, “Sedona’s most extreme off-road adventure” sounds a little intense for you. I’ll admit, I googled, “is Sedona pink jeep tour scary” before buying my tickets, too (and I’d already DONE IT once as a teenager).
The thing to remember here is that “Sedona’s most extreme” is a relative term. And if you’ve spent any time in Sedona, you know it’s not that “extreme” of a place. It’s more of a, “morning yoga followed by the spa followed by visiting a vortex to practice spirituality or search for healing” kind of place, where the average tourist age seems to be upward of 50. In short: do not worry. The jeeps drive very slowly, and while they do go over rocks at some crazy angles, they don’t do it near the edge of a cliff. You will not feel unsafe during this trip and if you think you’re going to, they’ll likely have you sit up front with the driver to help calm your nerves. Personally, I would put the “exhilaration” factor close to 0%, but that’s just me.
BUYING TICKETS
It’s super easy to buy tickets for the Sedona pink jeep tour from the Pink Adventure Tours website , but we also had a kiosk in the lobby of our hotel that sold tickets, so we bought them that way. I wouldn’t be surprised if concierges around the city were able to do the same! We did not pay an upcharge for booking that way; tickets were $115 per adult.
GETTING THERE AND PARKING
While the jeeps will do pickups at some hotels (our car did one at the Kimpton Amara), most people drive themselves to the tour start at the company’s office at 204 N State Rte 89A. There’s plenty of free parking across the street (as well as a Starbucks nearby if you want to grab something before you head out). The company asks that you arrive well in advance of your tour start—we went about 30 minutes beforehand—so that they can assign you to your jeep and driver, so factor that in when making your plans!
BROKEN ARROW TOUR
The Broken Arrow tour is the most popular pink jeep route, and it’s the one I recommend for first-timers. You’ll drive through the red rocks, seeing a variety of different landscapes, going on some “thrilling” inclines and making three stops where you can get out, walk around and take pictures. The tour lasts about two hours, which to me felt like the perfect duration. Guides are extremely knowledgeable and will provide history, facts on local flora and fauna and more. They’re happy to answer any questions about Sedona and the surrounding area, too!
WHAT TO WEAR ON A SEDONA PINK JEEP TOUR
This is where I wish I’d known that we’d be getting out and hiking around. I wore open-back shoes and immediately regretted it as soon as I found out we’d be making stops. Wear athletic shoes if you can!
Aside from correct footwear, I’d also recommend layers if you’re going in the winter like we did . But during the warmer months, it won’t be an issue!
I paid for our tickets using my Citi ThankYou Premier card, which earns a 2x bonus on all entertainment purchases. The tickets indeed coded under the entertainment umbrella; Citi categorized them as “miscellaneous amusement/recreation services.” The cash-averse should also take note that you can trip your driver on your credit card after your tour. Just head back inside to the main desk and tell them how much you’d like to add!

OUR PINK JEEP TOUR IN SEDONA, AZ
If you’ve heard the hype about Pink Jeep Tours , it’s real! It was my favorite thing Chris and I did when we visited Sedona, AZ in November 2021.
Pink Jeep Tours, also known as Pink Adventure Tours, offers unique tours in multiple locations across the U.S. The tours vary in vehicle, duration, terrain, and of course, scenery.
- Branson, MO
- Grand Canyon, AZ
- Las Vegas, NV
- Smoky Mountains, TN
The information in this post will be based on our experience in Sedona!
BROKEN ARROW/SCENIC RIM COMBO
We toured the Broken Arrow/Scenic Rim Combo which Pink Jeep Tours describes as “the quintessential combination of an exhilarating off-road adventure and spectacular scenery.” In their custom-built, open-air Pink Jeep Wrangler, we climbed Schnebly Hill Road, traveled along Sedona’s famous Broken Arrow trail, made it down the steep “Road of No Return,” and weaved through the Coconino National Forest.
Along the way we saw amazing red rock formations, breathtaking views, Sedona flora, and more. There were also plenty of opportunities to get out of the Jeep and explore and take pictures. Our tour guide was a great photographer for us and shared a lot of knowledge about Sedona and the areas we visited during the ride. Shout out to Preston!
All Pink Jeep tours are rated on a scale from Paved to Rugged terrain, so you know what to expect. The Broken Arrow/Scenic Rim Combo was rated Rugged (“rocky with rough climbs over prolonged periods”), and it was exactly that! We definitely had to hold on tight as the jeep winded down unpaved back roads and hobbled over rocks, ruts, and roots. For us, this is one of the things that made this experience a lot of fun, but if bumpy, jumping out of your seat, is not your thing, this tour is probably not for you.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
- Expect some red rock dust to fly into the Jeep. The Pink Jeep Wrangler is open with no windows, so some red rock dust will likely get on your clothes, shoes, phone, backpack, etc. It was easy to wipe off my things with a damp cloth after the tour.
- Wear comfortable clothes like a t-shirt and leggings. Depending on the weather, you may want to bring a sweatshirt since the Jeep has no windows!
- Wear comfortable shoes like sneakers or hiking boots. There are several stops along the tour where you can get out and explore, some of which include slightly steep climbs.
- Backpacks are allowed! There is room on the Jeep to store your belongings.
- Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, etc. Protect yourself from the Sedona sun!
No matter which Pink Adventure tour or location you choose, I’m sure you will have an exciting time! The tour website does a great job of explaining each tour, which should help you make your decision.
HAPPY ADVENTURING!

I recommend closed toe shoes such as walking shoes, hiking shoes, tennis shoes. Depending on the tour your driver may stop so you can get out and walk around. Do not recommend sandals or flip flops. There is a lot of sand in Sedona area.
What to Bring. We recommend bringing a water bottle, camera or cell phone. We have a water refill station located at our Pink Adventure Store to top off your bottle or you can purchase bottled water. For the safety and comfort of our guests, full meals and glass bottles are prohibited on the vehicle.
