History

Don Pratt, a musician and land developer who relocated to Sedona from Long Beach, California, founded Pink Jeep Tours in 1960. The original name of the company was Don Pratt Adventures, but after a vacation at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki, also known as the "Pink Palace of the Pacific" due to its color, Pratt returned to Sedona, painted his vehicles pink, and changed the name to Pink Jeep Tours. The company has been owned by Shawn Wendell since 1988.
