TONIGHT, CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE NIGHT SKY FOREVER!
Our Military Grade Night Vision Goggles and Ancient Stories May Turn You Into a Wonder Junkie!
Sedona is one of the most compelling places in Arizona to experience the night sky. Its dark-sky reputation, desert air, wide-open views, and red rock setting create a powerful backdrop for stargazing. For visitors looking for beauty, stillness, and a deeper sense of connection, Sedona offers more than scenery — it offers atmosphere.
All of these treasures and more with Ancient Native Wisdom Storytelling & Military Grade Night Vision Googles so you can see the sky the way it looked hundreds, even thousands of years ago, before all this light pollution.

Review: We travel frequently and have had the opportunity to do and see some amazing things around the world and this Star Gazing experience was among the most unique and memorable. There is SO MUCH TO LIKE:
-Tony's expertise explaining and interpretation of the stars and constellations -the very cool, once-in-a-lifetime chance to look at the sky through military grade night vision goggles -the warm fuzzy hooded blanket-like ponchos they provide that are like a big warm hug (even if you brought tons of layers) -the wonderful follow-up and directions to the spot in Joshua Tree national park -the friendly and helpful assistant "cuz" -the small group (9 people max) -the great gravity chairs so you can look up while laying back -the amazing souvenir photo they take and send you for free
What it's like-this is a lot more than an ordinary star tour. Yes they have big telescopes and show you cool cigar galaxies, planets and moons, but in addition Tony weaves together stories and mythology from global cultures while pointing out features in the sky. Part graduate astronomy class, part philosophy part geography-listening and learning was truly mesmerizing.
If you have the chance to do this, don't hesitate you will NOT regret the experience. The only negative is that the time just flew by-we could have listened to the stories for another hour or two beyond the 90 minute schedule.
The night vision goggles are one of the defining features of this experience. They allow guests to see far more of the sky than most people ever do with the naked eye alone, turning the night into something active, surprising, and unforgettable. Instead of only hearing about the stars, guests experience the sky in a direct and personal way.
This experience is designed for small groups and guided with care. Guests can expect a thoughtfully led night under the stars that combines storytelling, sky interpretation, and equipment that dramatically changes what they are able to see. It is ideal for travelers who want more than a quick stop or a generic astronomy talk.
Guests describe these Sedona stargazing experiences as intimate, eye-opening, and unforgettable. The combination of night vision, storytelling, and setting creates a night that stays with people long after the tour is over.
If you are looking for Sedona stargazing that feels personal, immersive, and unlike a standard astronomy outing, Addicted2Wonder offers an experience built around wonder, storytelling, and the unforgettable experience of seeing more of the sky.

A connection to the stars that will forever change you
“The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars
are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.”
– Richard Feynman
“When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from one particular piece of land, but from the solar system.”
Kalpana Chawla, the first Indian woman in space
“Everything in nature is represented in the soil and in the stars. Everything has two witnesses, one on earth and the other in the sky. Everything is represented in the ground and in the sky.”
David Mowaljarli – senior traditional lawman of the Ngarinyin people in the West Kimberley, Australia
Sedona offers dark-sky conditions, desert air, wide-open views, and a red rock setting that makes the night sky feel especially powerful and memorable.

Sedona stargazing can be rewarding year-round, but darker moon phases and clear nights usually offer the best visibility.
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered "Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.
