What To Expect

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.

Insightful, educational and entertaining. The friendly and engaging guide, John, had plenty of relevant and interesting anecdotes and knowledge about the local culture and the landscape and nature. The tour gave a real insight into the way of like of the locals and their history. Moreover the beautiful scenery and stunning sunset makes it a memorable and worthwhile tour. We met with no difficulty in the reception of the View Hotel. If travelling to the View to start the tour, factor in some time to get through the park entrance toll booth. Took us about 10 minutes on a Monday afternoon at 4.45. The first 45 minutes were spent at viewpoints on the loop road, which is accessible to private cars as well (although the road is very rough and we would not be happy taking our rental vehicle down it, there were many other private cars on this bit). Our experience here was enriched by John's input and he pointed out interesting mesas. After that we took a turn off the public road to multiple quieter locations with ample opportunity to stop, take pictures and ask questions. Our guide John was also always available to take family photos and even played a traditional pipe for us at one point. Also visited a traditional Hogan as part of the trip, which provided insights into traditional living. Lovely jewellery and weaving with no pressure to buy and, very reasonably, a voluntary donation box was also available. Finished off in good time to see a spectacular sunset reflecting on the mittens, back at the View. Thanks to John for a great sunset trip, enjoyed tremendously by the whole family.

Harry our guide was awesome. He provided a wealth of information of the area, history as well as tips on shooting pictures with your cell phones and 35mm cameras. The ride to the location to watch the sunrise was like a 4x4 jeep ride, which was a nice addition. Watching the sunrise was gorgeous. After the sunrise we toured other sites in the valley. Harry sang me a Navajo version of Happy Birthday and played us a tune on Navajo flute like instrument. We stopped at a home of the Yazi (sp) family and a Navajo women showed us how they make yarn from wool and also put my daughters and friend's hair up in buns and explained the significant to Navajo women wearing their hair in buns. Trip was much more than we expected!!

We booked the sunset tour for our party of four adults and one child. We met our group in the lobby of The View Hotel where we made payment and introduced ourselves. Our guide for this tour was John and he was very good at his line of work. We set out into the valley about 5:00 for our three hour tour. John was excellent at explaining the meanings of the names given to the rock formations. He also gave us history lessons about his people. The background on family names and how the women are dominant in the family line was fascinating. He made a point of giving attention to our nine year old son and making sure he had a great experience. We stopped at one location where John played a tune on his native flute that was beautiful and perfectly in tune with the surroundings. We got back to the hotel just in time to witness the sunset doing its thing on the monuments. I highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants to venture off the public path and get real Navajo insights to the land and what it means.
