Overview

This tour may be new, but My XO Adventures is not! We love what we do and are trained professionals teaching the history, culture, and ecology of the Black Hills and Badlands.

Your time with us will be fun, informative, and fulfilling. Often we make fast friends and the comments we receive express that it didn't feel like a structured formal tour but more like visiting friends who love the Black Hills and Badlands.

Once you've made your reservation, we can discuss the Black Hills or Badlands option and are flexible with making last-minute changes based on the weather or particular interests!

What To Expect

Mount Rushmore National Memorial

It's the most recognized monumental carving in the United States. You wouldn't want to miss that, would you? Come see Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln in this artistic masterpiece. Learn about the men behind the concept and the workers who made it happen.

Custer State Park

Ready for some wildlife? How about megafauna like the American bison? This is our best shot at seeing these massive and beautiful creatures on the wildlife loop of Custer State Park. Over 1500 bison exist here, along with pronghorn, antelope, bighorn sheep, ferrets, prairie dogs, and a variety of birds. We'll stop at the visitors center before proceeding onto the Wildlife Loop Road.

Crazy Horse Memorial

Enter the culture and history before settlers arrived on the scene. This monument is dedicated to one of the most important indigenous peoples of the area, Crazy Horse. A courageous and complicated warrior, he truly left his imprint on this land. It's a fascinating story that must be told. Let's visit the monument, watch a movie, and make our way through some of the most interesting Native American artifacts on this land. On certain days during the winter, the museum is closed. In this case, we will view the mountain and tell the story of Crazy Horse as well as the carving of the mountain.

Cancellation Policy

The actual trip with XO tours was great in spite of the issues with Viator and things promised by them that were not scheduled with actual trip operators. Viator advertised 3 things to expect- Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Drive thru park. Also that tour guide would have professional camera and give us photos. The only reason our trip with XO was good was they went out of their way to see all the things that were in your ad but not in their plan. You did them no service by not coordinating with them what was possible in the 1/2 day trip. They made sure our trip was great and I will never schedule anything thru Viator again and make sure my friends are aware as well.
