What To Expect

Dineh Bekeyah Tours

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.

I signed up for the Sunrise tour of Monument Valley & ended up being the only person booked so I got a private tour. Comasheena was delightful. Very knowledgeable of the valley and the Pueblo culture. Because I had done the circle drive myself the day before, she offered to alter the tour to include Mystery Valley. My only suggestion would be to adjust the start time to the sunrise. We got to the picture location and had to wait 25 minutes for the sun to rise.

We booked a sunrise photography tour and sunset photography tour. Our sunrise photography tour was to start a 6 pm meeting in view hotel lobby (where we were staying). We came to lobby at 10 minutes before 6. At 6 am there was not guide and other tours left, so we called. They said would check on the guide but he should be there shortly. At 6:10 am, they said their guide accidentally picked up the wrong couple and took them on our private tour, but they had another guide on the way that would be their any minute. At 6:20 am, the blue hour skies where started to look spectacular, and I called again and asked when the guide would be here as we are missing blue hour (I could be shooting at the hotel rather than wait for the guide) and they said he should be there within the next few minutes. At 6:30 am, I called again, entirely frustrated, than they said our guide was walking up right then (he was). We good in the vehicle and left. The blue hour was about as beautiful as it can be. We stopped for 1 minuted near the hotel to take a few shots, then we drove for the next 20 minutes (fast - did not seem safe, but we made it safely) to the totem pole in the back of the park to get there just in time for sunrise, passing up the most beautify blue hour skies in panoramic views you can imagine. No photographer would have passed that up to get to a specific spot. We should have stopped and shot closer in rather than waste 20 minutes in a race to a specific spot. after that, the tour was fine, but we missed the money shots. The guide was good, and it was not his fault as a different guide picked up the wrong guests. In our sunset tour, the guide arrived on time, but then asked if we where ready for our mystery valley tour. I said we booked a sunset photography tour. He replied since so should have seen everything on the sunrise tour, why would we want to do that again, to which I replied to shoot monument valley in different light. He replied, OK, if that is what you want to do (that is what I booked!). So we did the sunset tour, which was good, but got cloudy and was not as good leading up to sunset. The sunset spot was OK for sunset but we were dead in the valley shooting up (mostly of lower sky blocked by light). We where to stay there for blue hour and asked to move. We did. Went to 3 sisters and got some nice blue hour sky, but better looking sky was blocked. We finished up by the hotel (very nice there). I was told by many that the was very unusual for Dineh Bekeyah Tours and they get very good reviews (I know that; that is why a booked with them). The wrong guests being picked up - come on; they don't even ask for names. And a guide shows up and doesn't even know what tour we booked. The did give use $100 off the $600 we paid for tours due to the screw up - otherwise I would have given 1 star (an maybe should have because I have been thinking about the mix up for days afterwards, while I should be completely enjoying the rest of my vacations. There are plenty of tour options in Monument Valley, so I would certainly recommend looking elsewhere for private photography tours (for standard valley tour, harder to screw that up)
