What To Expect

Rhyolite

Depart Las Vegas at 7am for your day tour to Death Valley. Your first stop will be the ghost town of Rhyolite, at the entrance to the National Park. This long abandoned gold mining community has been used as the set for many movies and documentaries.

Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

Enjoy the views on an amazing drive down a beautiful winding highway and enter the center of Death Valley from the east; this is like entering a foreign and strange world of endless desert, vast valleys, harshly sculpted peaks and superbly adapted plants and animals formed over millions of years.

Furnace Creek Visitor Center

Death Valley, the driest, hottest climate imaginable is an immense, wild land that man has never tamed. Capture the view of the valley from Hell’s Gate, well above the valley floor and then visit Badwater at 282 feet below sea level.

Badwater

You will also enjoy views and stops at Zabriskie’s Point, the Devil’s Golf Course, the Furnace Creek Museum, the Salt Lake, the Sand Dunes and Artists Pallet. The majestic mountains, colorful canyons, volcanic craters and salt pinnacles all make this trip a photographic-sightseers dream come true. For the truly adventurous, this tour is offered your-round! We stop at all these locations for a little exploration and lots of photos.

Artists Palette

You'll be amazed at beautiful drive thru Artists Palate and photo stops

Devil's Golf Course

Discover how the salt panicles were formed at the the Devils Golf Course. This is part of the salt lake that became a very strange place indeed.

Zabriskie Point

You'll love the views from Zabriskie's Point overlooking the valley. Take a small hike to see one of Death Valley's most inspiring views!

We booked a private tour of Death Valley and were extremely satisfied! Dennis was a wonderful tour guide from start to finish. He picked us up at our Vegas hotel right on time and immediately provided us with breakfast and orange juice. His punctuality and hospitality set a positive tone for the day. Bathroom breaks were plentiful, which is always a concern when road tripping. Dennis was also a wealth of knowledge about the entire region, including its flora, fauna, and topography. He shared fascinating insights and stories throughout the day. One of the highlights was our visit to Rhyolite, an abandoned mining town that felt like stepping back in time. Dennis also took us to all the top spots in Death Valley, ensuring we didn't miss any of its stunning features. Throughout the tour, he was attentive, making sure we stayed hydrated, comfortable, and well-fed. Dennis's combination of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his guests made this day exceptional. We couldn't recommend this tour more highly!

We visited Death Valley during the summer, a time when the heat was intense but perfect for a road trip like this. We flew to Las Vegas and rented a van for the journey, which was an incredibly exciting time. As we drove out of the bustling city of Las Vegas into the desert, it felt like we were embarking on an 'out of nowhere' adventure. As we looked around, a vast desert stretched to the edge of the sky. There was nothing but land, mountains, a road, and the expansive sky. We could clearly understand why it was named Death Valley. Despite its harsh conditions, we discovered beauty and charm in this endless desert. The vast orange-brown landscape made us realize just how small we are as humans. We spent an entire day exploring the desert, which was a great experience. Surviving the heat and enjoying the moment of a lifetime amidst the greatness of Death Valley's nature.
