This tour is a custom tour and are not necessarily in the order below. Each guide has their own itinerary and have a specific place and time to be throughout the tour.  The 3 hour tour makes a stop at the famous John Ford’s Point where many of John Wayne’s western cinematic movies were film, and also the Transformers: Age of Extinction featuring Mark Wahlberg. Next, your guide will drive to The Backcountry of the park and escort you to the arches.  At “Sun’s Eye Arch” you will be standing at a specific degree to look up into the rock arch and see why it is named Sun’s Eye. At the same location you will also see Petroglyphs and hear your guide’s stories. You will also travel to the “Big Hogan.” The Big Hogan is a great place to take family pictures and lie against the rocks and feel its warmth. Your guide will provide stories and suggest great photo shots. In the Backcountry is the “Ear of the Wind.” This is the largest arch in the park, and your guide will escort you to a photogenic spot where you can take photographs. You will be guided to the Totem Pole and Yei Bi Cheii Monuments where you will be able to take photographs and hear the cultural stories behind each monument. Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel, then get ready for a scenic drive to Monument Valley in a comfortable all-terrain vehicle— allowing for exclusive access to parts of the park that are inaccessible to smaller cars. The area, located on a Navajo Reservation and considered a sacred healing region by Native American tribes, is tough to navigate on your own. But your guide will walk you through the history of the Navajo tribal park and the background of each stunning natural formation. With your choice of a sunrise or sunset tour, you’re bound for incredible, camera-ready views during the sun-kissed time of day known by photographers as the “Golden Hour.” The itineraries are fully customizable, so you’ll have your pick of some incredible spots, including iconic rock formations like John Ford’s Point, which served as film backdrop in many John Wayne Westerns. One of the most photographed formations is the Yei Bi Chei monuments, which resemble a line of tribal dancers. You’ll also get an opportunity to take pictures of the Big Hogan, a sandstone cave chamber, and Ear of the Wind, a mesmerizing, crimson-hued arch. At the North Window where you will have a chance to take pictures of the Mittens and Butte at different angles. Your tour guide will then slowly and safely transport you back to your departure point.

My son & I went on the Sunrise tour with Harry, our tour guide. Harry was exceptional with his knowledge & took the time to take pictures of all the families in the group. Not only that, he patiently taught us how to take pictures to get the best shots. We highly recommend the tour and Harry as your guide! Charlene, the owner of the tour company was amazing! She took the time to explain what all we could do on our own, vs. what we needed to do on a tour. She also voluntarily refunded the ticket I had purchased for my son, without knowing that kids below a certain age are free on the tour. Wonderful customer service!! Highly recommend.

The tour was quite disappointing. The tour ends one hour before sunset, it definitely can't be considered a sunset tour. I would have signed up for a regular tour if that was what I had wanted. (we were expecting to see the monuments at sunset and also, the heat is unbearable at these hours). The guide was nice, our kids were a bit bored. We were also expecting to stop at one of the houses or meet some native inhabitants of the park (other tours do stop)... but we didn't. I wouldn't recommend this tour for the reasons mentioned above.

My 19 year old daughter and I went on the Sunrise Tour with Joe as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, very nice and had a nice sense of humor. He even made sure we got the best pictures with our cameras (he should be a professional photographer!). I would recommend the tour and Joe to anybody. You will definitely have a wonderful time. Be sure to bring some extra cash because any guide as good as Joe deserves a really nice tip!!
