About
The Mogollon Rim helicopter tour spans 3 wilderness areas that are extremely hard to get to any other way. We start out from the Sedona Airport for immediate, amazing views, right as we take off! We then fly around Sedona showing off the famous rock formations before heading deep into the canyons to show off the ancient ruins. Our route includes the Sycamore Canyon, Secret Mountain, and Munds Mountain wilderness areas where you will have the opportunity to see all of the ancient ruins included in the shorter tours plus many more! Our pilots are trained by the most experienced in the area and know where ruins are that have been lost for centuries! This tour covers everything all of our other tours cover so if you want it all, this is it!

      Apex helicopter flight over Sedona Red Rocks is a “must do!”
      This Apex helicopter tour was the high point of our trip to Sedona! We met at the Apex Office on Airport Mesa with a sweeping view of the Red Rock area, left on time for the 30 minute flight which was great fun and very expertly handled! The views were beyond breath taking as we saw miles of gorgeous Red Rocks & ancient Anastasi cliff dwellings! It is SO worth every penny to go! The pilot is a true expert & very friendly & knowledgeable. We plan to go again on our next trip!

      Do it!
      The 30 minute ride in this helicopter was amazing! You can see so much more from the sky. There are so many rock formations! We saw ruins and our pilot was excellent. We had 5 people total on our trip plus the pilot, but all views were great! We traded phone numbers with the other group and shared photos! I would definitely do this again. I honestly don’t think I could ever get sick of the scenery. Our pilot was knowledgeable and said this was still his favorite route to fly.

      Must do while in Sedona!
      Took this tour and it was amazing! The views from the sky are beautiful. I will take you to many areas not accessible by car or hike. Tour was on time. Pilot was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Highly recommend!

      Not worth it
      Ancient Sedona. Pilot should tell more about where the actual ruins are and what we are seeing Advertised as 2.5 hours. We got less than that because we had to switch copters as there wasn’t enough gas. This was after the pilot had to go back to office to retrieve his headset.

      Amazingly Unforgettable
      Josh is an amazing pilot with a ton of knowledge and experience. We truly had the time of our lives. An amazingly unforgettable experience and will definitely do it again if we return to Sedona.

      A great way to see redrocks in Sedona
      A great experience. The booking of the tour, registration and handling was efficient and good. Beautiful views and a good pilot- a fun way of seeing the whole of Sedona. After the flight, don't miss the overlook view from the airport.

      Disappointing
      A BIG LETDOWN-read the fine print. We thought we were buying a 20 minute tour of Sedona. Ok -$60. However this was a 20 mile trip around the city. Took all of 10 mins max. Seemed hurried. Beautiful day for flying but between this operator and the Sedona Pines Resort which kept us for a 2 hour time share review just a ripoff. Look somewhere else for the helicopter tour.

      Not so great
      Somewhat disappointing. The flight was advertised ( by a guy in uptown Sedona) as 29 minute ride. It is 20 miles or 10 minutes. Also, seats were “assigned “ by weight. My wife and I were in the middle in the back. Little or no views when you are not by a window. NO LEG ROOM in half of the rear seat. Really cramped. Would not recommend

      The ride was awesome, pilot was great, explained what we were seeing, showed us an elk herd on one of the mountains. Worth having a close up view of things you see from the road and view points. Trip was very enjoyable.

    So glad we took the Mogollon Rim Tour. We didn't just see the red rock formations and other geological features, we were in them! Our excellent pilot took us into canyons and close enough to cliffs to see ancient. Throughout the flight our pilot guide held our interest with fascinating history and lore and took one all questions.
    I would urge any visitor planning an aerial tour to seriously consider Apex Air, for their variety of tours, safety record, specialized helicopters, plus skilled, knowledgeable, well experienced pilots.

    Amazing tour! I called up to book a tour the day of and they were able to accommodate. Josh made us feel super comfortable and is an absolute pro. He was able to provide so much knowledge and took us to see so many amazing canyons, ancient ruins and spots. Absolutely amazing views so definitely get your camera ready. We did the hour tour and definitely feel like we got our money’s worth. Highly recommend for some once in a lifetime views of Sedona!

    This is by far one of the most amazing experiences I have ever experienced! There were moments when I was truly overcome by the views! I was awed and humbled! Our pilot was very competent, experienced and calm. We felt immediately at ease! He shared his knowledge and joy of the area which made the experience personal! We saw areas that we realized so many individuals would never see. I would highly recommend taking this tour. It was worth every cent! The pictures we took were amazing! However, the memories we have of all the breath taking sites will remain with us for eternity.
