Sedona Red Rocks Self-Guided GPS Audio Driving Tour
Overview
Explore Sedona’s famous red rock country with an app-based, self-guided GPS audio driving tour. There’s no in-person guide—your phone leads the way with turn-by-turn navigation, stories, local insight, and directions as you explore Sedona’s scenic drives and iconic landmarks.
Follow turn-by-turn directions through spectacular scenery along Oak Creek Canyon, the Red Rock Scenic Byway, and Red Rock Loop Road, with opportunities to visit iconic spots, scenic viewpoints, historic sites, and optional hiking trails.
Shaka Guide tours are created by real people who know and experience the destinations they guide, bringing Sedona to life through authentic stories, history, local insight, and recommendations.
One purchase covers everyone in your vehicle. Download the Shaka Guide app and tour before you go; once downloaded, the audio and map work offline, and GPS-triggered narration plays automatically as you drive.
