Tours

Question

I know this is very subjective but anyone have a favorite or one they just didn’t like of the pink jeep tours? Was thinking about the ruins your. Also wondering about the jeeps in February if chilly.

Answer

Pink Jeep Tours are one of the most popular activities in Sedona, and each tour has a very different feel—some are rugged and bumpy, others more scenic and historical. The “best” tour is subjective, but feedback from travelers tends to point to clear favorites depending on what you want: adventure, scenery, or archaeology. February is a great time to go because crowds are lighter, but yes—jeeps can be chilly. Below is a detailed breakdown to help you choose confidently.

Most popular overall option: The Broken Arrow Tour is consistently the fan favorite because it’s the most adventurous and unique route in Sedona. If you want the classic rock-crawling, “this is why we booked a Jeep” experience, this is the one. However, since you’re specifically interested in a ruins tour, the options below may fit better.

About temperature in February: Morning and late-afternoon tours can be cold, sometimes in the 40s°F, especially when the jeep is moving. Pink Jeep provides blankets on many tours, but layers, hats, and gloves help a lot. Midday is usually the warmest and most comfortable time to ride in an open Jeep.

Ancient Ruins Tour (your option) — This is a calmer, more educational tour and one of the best choices if you’re interested in archaeology and Indigenous history. The tour visits Honanki Heritage Site (Sinagua cliff dwellings and rock art), which is beautiful and has a peaceful atmosphere. It’s much less bumpy than Broken Arrow, making it a great choice for guests who want scenery and history without intense off-roading. Most travelers rate it highly for knowledgeable guides and the chance to see preserved dwellings up close.
Broken Arrow Tour — The most iconic and thrilling Pink Jeep ride. Expect steep descents, rock climbing, and big views. It’s not historical-focused, but if you enjoy adventure and dramatic vistas, it’s considered the Sedona must-do. Some travelers with back issues or motion sensitivity don’t love it, but many say it's the most memorable experience of their trip.
Scenic Rim & Diamondback Gulch Tours — Both are bumpy, mix scenery and adventure, and offer wide-angle views of red rock formations. Diamondback Gulch is especially known for its rugged, “roller-coaster” feel. These aren’t the best fit if your main interest is ruins, but great if you want something between history and thrill rides.
Red Rock Range & Coyote Canyons Tours — Milder tours with great photo opportunities, ideal for anyone wanting minimal bumpiness. They’re often recommended for families, older travelers, or guests who want scenic viewpoints without the heavy jolts of Broken Arrow.

Which tour fits your priorities?

If you want ruins, history, and a calmer ride: Ancient Ruins Tour — the best match for you.
If you want the most iconic Sedona off-road adventure: Broken Arrow.
If you want a mix of rugged and scenic but not extreme: Scenic Rim or Diamondback Gulch.
If you want great views without a lot of bumpiness: Red Rock Range or Coyote Canyons.

February tips:

Pick a midday tour (11 a.m.–2 p.m.) for the warmest temperatures.
Dress in layers—jeeps are open-air, and wind chill is real.
If cold-sensitive, ask Pink Jeep whether blankets are provided on your specific tour.
Book early, as tours often sell out even in winter.

Overall, the Ancient Ruins Tour is one of the best choices for February if you prefer a smoother ride with rich storytelling and cultural insight.
