Overview

When choosing to see Death Valley there are many companies offering similar tours. We separate ourselves with expert level park knowledge and two owner operators that offer more than just a van ride through a national park. Depending on our guests wants and needs we will custom tailor these tours to our groups. We never skip the high points or the lows.

You will without a doubt want to see Dante's View(often skipped by many operators) for its Grand Canyon National Park like distances as well as Artist's Palette and Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes.

Semi-Private is noted as we take a maximum of 7 guests and there are only two of us in the company. You will always get the best.

Food is included on this tour. We will stop at a restaurant in Death Valley for either a sit down lunch or a breakfast buffet depending on the season. You do not need to bring food unless you have specific dietary requirements that may not be available at regular food establishments.

What's included

  • Bottled water
  • All Fees and Taxes
  • Either a breakfast buffet or an a la carte lunch are included depending on the time of year we are operating and availability.
