Both Pegasus and Celestial Unicorn have the power:
"Discard this card to explore your location, or to move to another location and then explore."
If it is not my turn, am I able to use one of these to move to another location and then simply not gain the explore since it is not my turn?
The only reason I feel unsure about this is that the only rule I can find simply states I may not explore when it is not during the explore step, not stating anything about me playing a card where one of the effects is to explore.

It allows you to move to another location and then explore, so long as it is still your explore phase. This acts similarly to a potion of flying. You explore your current location, discard the Pegasus, move to a different location, and then explore again. This makes it not useable outside of your turn.
Since this is a "package" action you *chose* to make (I think there was a new-ish FAQ on that) - you need to be able to move and explore,so no, no playing out of turn.
Contrast this with a hypothetical Monster that has a power "When encountered, this monster is evaded. After the encounter you must move and immediately explore"
In this case, if you encountered that monster as an off-turn summon, you would move, but you would ignore the explore instruction: this is because you didn't chose to be subjected to this power, so you just execute what you can (the move) and ignore the rest (as it requires you to do something impossible, i.e. explore off-turn)
