After hotel pickup on the Las Vegas Strip, begin your adventure with a commemorative photo at the iconic Death Valley National Park sign, a perfect memento of your journey into one of the most unique landscapes on Earth.
Enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Death Valley from Dante’s View, a breathtaking overlook perched 5,476 feet above the valley floor. From here, you’ll spot expansive salt flats, rugged desert terrain, and the lowest point in North America. Fun fact: this stunning location was used as the setting for Mos Eisley in the original Star Wars!
Badwater Basin sits at an astonishing -282 feet below sea level, making it the lowest point in North America. A wooden Sea Level sign mounted high on the cliff face shows just how far below sea level you’ve descended. Here, the salt flats stretch endlessly, with natural salt formations crystallizing year-round across the valley floor.
Marvel at the stunning sedimentary hills of the Black Mountains, where nature puts on a colorful show. Known as Artist’s Palette, this vibrant landscape features swirling hues of pink, gold, green, and purple that look like they’ve been brushed onto the rock by hand. It’s a breathtaking stop that feels like stepping into a living painting.
Zabriskie Point offers one of the most iconic views in Death Valley National Park, overlooking the golden badlands near Furnace Creek. Just a short paved walk leads you to a panoramic vista of striking canyons, rugged gulches, and wave-like formations. It's an unforgettable spot to witness the vibrant colors of the desert landscape, especially at sunset.
Experience some of the clearest and most awe-inspiring stargazing in the world, far from the bright lights of Las Vegas. Your exact stargazing location will vary based on sunset time and weather conditions, ensuring the best possible celestial views. Under Death Valley’s dark skies, you'll witness a dazzling display of stars, planets, and constellations. - Stargazing may not be possible on nights with a full or bright moon, or on cloudy days.
Take a quick rest stop in Pahrump to stretch your legs and recharge. This small desert town offers a convenient break before continuing your journey back to Las Vegas betwen 10pm-1am.
The experience was unforgettable. The trip was memorable from the knowledge gained and the abundant resources made available to make the most. From the highest point to lowest plateau and starry skies - this journey was good.
Jason was our tour guide and he had so much experience travelling globally. He told us stories and the music he played brought us back to the old times. He took pictures for us and when we back to the hotel, we received a video from Jason capturing the wonderful moments we had during the whole trip. It was a memorable trip and lucky we had Jason as our tour guide.
Unbelievable experience. Highly recommended. Tour guide Jason was amazing, taking the time to make it a personal and relaxing adventure.
Amazing tour, Andrew was great with communications from the start and gave some good suggestions in his intro text. Pickup was on time and the vehicle was clean and comfortable with just 2 other travellers. Andrew kept us entertained with anecdotes, info and good cool ai music and the journey felt short. There were lots of rest stops and we had unlimited water. We went to the best spots and took great pictures with plenty of time. The highlight was the night stargazing which I highly recommend even if you are not in stars or astronomy - the photos alone are worth it!
Spectacular! Andrew was phenomenal, stargazing was unlike anything we’ve done. Would take same trip again and again!
It was a wonderful experience! The pickup was right on time, and the tour was well-organized and reasonably priced. The views were absolutely stunning, and the weather was perfect. Our guide was friendly and showed us the best spots to take beautiful pictures. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it!
Jason was able to manage the time excellently, gave us 1.5 hrs at zebriskie viewpoint and even took our pictures for the stargazing. Entire time he was like a friend talking along and providing crutial informations along the way.
Had a very good experience!!Jason was such a good person and an amazing travel guide. Had a perfect stargazing experience. Enjoyed a lot!
Loved the whole Trip! This is so worth it!
Although a long day, it is jammed packed, so spectacular and Andrew our guide is so knowledgeable, attention to detail and works so hard to make sure your entire tour is brilliant. Such breathtaking scenery
I have done several Viator activities that I have loved and this one did not disappoint. Andrew, our tour guide, is absolutely phenomenal. His people skills, fun personality, and knowledge base were truly commendable and made the tour so much fun for all of us. The various stops in Death Valley and the absolutely beautiful sunset were incredible, but ending the tour with stargazing topped it all. We were very fortunate to have a clear, dark night that allowed us to see the Milky Way across the entire sky. The pictures we were able to take were out of this world and will forever be treasured.
Andrew was enthusiastic and engaging guide who eagerly shared his knowledge and experiences with us. He ensured that we stayed on the itinerary's schedule but was flexible when needed. I highly recommend this trip.
Death Valley is absolutely stunning, it's a must visit if you're in Vegas. Our guide Andrew is funny, attentive, and informative. Overall, it was an amazing day.
Everything was absolutely perfect! We had an incredible tour of Death Valley with Andrew, who was an outstanding guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience amazing. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, and the sunset was spectacular. Stargazing under the beautiful night sky was simply magical and one of the highlights of the trip. Andrew made sure we had a fantastic time from beginning to end. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. One of our best tour in the west! Highly recommended!
If you are interested in a Death Valley tour, choose one with stargazing. Being a city dweller, it was impressive to see so many stars. It's easy to tell that Andrew, our tour guide, loves his job. He is chock full of info about the geology, history, and lore of the valley. Very considerate and entertaining. He took pics that blew our minds. He did a long exposure image of the group w the Milky Way in the background. How cool is that??!! Everything was smooth on the trip. Everyone was happy.
Poor late missed one point of interest stargazing 1hour drive outside park in field next to glare of town no binoculars
Great tour with an experienced guide. Andrew made sure saw all of the key features of the park.
Excellent small group tour! Our guide, Andrew, did a great job at keeping us on schedule so we could see the sunset and make it to our stargazing location. He kept us fully hydrated with complimentary cold bottles of water and made this full day tour personable. Bonus for us, Andrew got some expert looking pictures of us at all the locations we visited. The stargazing experience was surreal!
Trip was exellent. Communication is fast and precise. Our guide Andrew is fantastic. I took my headphones to listen music when I'm bored. Never had an intention to put them on. It was an pleasure to listen to our gide during the trip. If you travel solo, he will kindly take a photos of you. Night stargazing is great.
Andrew, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable & organized. The artist’s palette, sunset viewing and star gazing part of the trip were truly memorable.
Jason was fun and full of information! Would absolutely book a tour again if he was the guide. If you have the good fortune to have him...trust him when he wants to take your picture! He will not let you down.
Well worth the time and money to see something so spectacular! While we didn’t see much at night due to cloud cover, Brian made the most of the situation and we still got pics and had fun!
Everything about this tour was awesome. Having a travel van instead of mini-bus made things much more comfortable. Andrew, the tour guide was great, knowledgeable, funny, but at the same time safe! The itenarary was great, perfect amount of time at each stop. Andrew went above and beyond at the start gazing stop, taking each of our phones and using his tripod to take amazing night sky photos that we likely could not have done on our own. The tour company having an entire cooler full of water in the van was great and important as it was hot!
Tim Turned a Beautiful Death Valley Tour into an Unforgettable Life Experience I joined this Death Valley tour while traveling alone in the United States from Japan, and meeting Tim became one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of my entire journey. Death Valley itself was extraordinary. The endless landscapes, the sunset, the silence, and the stars were even more beautiful than I had imagined. But what made the experience truly special was Tim. He was not simply a guide who drove us from one sightseeing spot to another. From the beginning, he created a warm, safe, and comfortable atmosphere that allowed us to relax and genuinely experience the place. Tim was professional, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He noticed what each guest needed, shared his knowledge with genuine enthusiasm, and gave us enough time to appreciate every location without making the tour feel rushed. I was traveling alone, but because of his warmth and kindness, I never felt lonely or uncomfortable. What surprised me most was the depth of our conversations. I came to America because I had reached a point in my life when I needed to challenge myself again. Through my work, I often encourage other people to take action, move beyond their limitations, and experience life more fully. Then I realized that I had stopped moving beyond my own comfort zone. I thought, “If I tell other people to do it, I need to do it myself.” Tim listened carefully and understood the deeper meaning behind my journey. He told me that my energy attracts and inspires people and helps them believe in their own greatness. He also said something I will never forget: I was not simply searching for greatness—I was greatness myself. Tim told me that he was happy to be a small piece of the puzzle of my life. But from my perspective, his presence was not a small piece at all. His words connected many of the experiences, emotions, and realizations I had been carrying throughout this journey. During our conversation, I shared with Tim a phrase that expresses how I want to live: Life is short. But it’s SHOWTIME. For me, it means that life is too short to remain on the sidelines. We are here to step forward, experience the world fully, and bring our own energy into it. Tim did not give me the phrase “SHOWTIME.” However, through the experience he created and the conversations we shared, he helped me feel the truth of my own words more deeply. This was not an ordinary day. It was a day of extraordinary landscapes, unexpected connection, honest conversation, and a meeting that I believe happened for a reason. A beautiful destination can impress you for a day, but an exceptional guide can change the way you remember an entire journey. Tim did exactly that. He transformed a sightseeing tour into an experience about courage, connection, possibility, and life itself. I sincerely hope the company understands what an exceptional guide Tim is. His value is not limited to his knowledge of Death Valley. It is his ability to truly see people, connect with them, make them feel safe, and help them discover personal meaning within the experience. Thank you, Tim, for your kindness, wisdom, humor, and unforgettable energy. I returned to Japan carrying much more than beautiful photographs. I returned with words, memories, and a renewed sense of possibility that I believe will remain with me for the rest of my life. Five stars are honestly not enough. Timは、美しいデスバレーのツアーを、人生に残る忘れられない体験へと変えてくれました 私は日本から一人でアメリカを旅している途中、このデスバレーのツアーに参加しました。Timとの出会いは、今回の旅全体の中でも、最も意味深く、心に残る出来事の一つになりました。 デスバレーそのものも圧倒的でした。どこまでも続く景色、夕日、静寂、そして星空。すべてが想像していた以上に美しかったです。 しかし、この体験を本当に特別なものにしてくれたのはTimでした。 彼は、ただ観光スポットから次の場所へ運転するだけのガイドではありません。最初から温かく、安全で、居心地のよい空気をつくり、私たちが安心してその場所を心から体験できるようにしてくれました。 Timはプロフェッショナルで、思いやりがあり、知識が豊富で、とても細やかなことにまで気がつく方でした。一人ひとりの様子を見ながら必要なことを自然に察し、心からの熱意を持って土地について教えてくれました。 どの場所でも急かされることなく、その景色を十分に味わう時間を与えてくれました。私は一人旅でしたが、彼の温かさと優しさのおかげで、孤独や居心地の悪さを感じることは一度もありませんでした。 何より驚いたのは、私たちの会話の深さです。 私は人生の中でもう一度、自分自身に挑戦する必要があると感じ、アメリカへ来ました。私は仕事を通して、ほかの人たちに「行動しよう」「自分の限界を越えよう」「もっと人生を経験しよう」と伝えています。 けれど、ふと気がついたのです。自分自身は、いつの間にか心地よい場所から動かなくなっていたのではないか、と。 「人にやってみようと言うのなら、まず自分がやらなければ」 そう思ったことが、今回の旅の始まりでした。 Timは私の話を丁寧に聞き、その旅の背景にある深い意味まで理解してくれました。 彼は、私のエネルギーは人を引き寄せ、勇気づけ、その人自身の中にある偉大さを信じる力を与える、と言ってくれました。 そして、決して忘れられない言葉をくれました。 私が偉大な何かを探しているのではなく、私自身がすでに「Greatness」なのだと。 Timは、自分が私の人生というパズルの、小さな一片になれたことがうれしいと言ってくれました。 しかし私にとって、彼の存在は決して小さな一片ではありませんでした。彼の言葉は、今回の旅を通して私が抱えていた経験や感情、そして数々の気づきを、一つにつないでくれました。 私はTimとの会話の中で、自分がどのように生きたいかを表す言葉を伝えました。 Life is short. But it’s SHOWTIME. 人生は短い。でも、今こそショータイム。 私にとってこの言葉は、人生は傍観者のままでいるには短すぎる、という意味です。私たちは前へ出て、この世界を全身で体験し、自分自身のエネルギーを世界へ放つために生きています。 「SHOWTIME」という言葉をTimが私にくれたわけではありません。 けれど、彼がつくってくれた体験と、彼との会話を通して、私は自分自身のこの言葉が持つ意味を、さらに深く実感することができました。 この日は、決して普通の一日ではありませんでした。 圧倒的な景色、予期せぬ心のつながり、正直な会話、そして何かの意味があって起きたのだと思える出会い。そのすべてがあった一日でした。 美しい場所は、その日一日、人を感動させることができます。しかし本当に素晴らしいガイドは、その旅全体の記憶を変えることができます。 Timは、まさにそれをしてくれました。 彼はデスバレーの観光ツアーを、勇気、人とのつながり、可能性、そして人生そのものを感じる体験へと変えてくれました。 旅行会社の皆さまにも、Timがどれほど素晴らしいガイドであるかを知っていただきたいです。 彼の価値は、デスバレーについて豊富な知識を持っていることだけではありません。一人ひとりをきちんと見て、心を通わせ、安心感を与え、その体験の中からその人自身が意味を見つけられるようにしてくれること。それこそが、彼の特別な力です。 Tim、あなたの優しさ、知性、ユーモア、そして忘れられないエネルギーを、本当にありがとうございました。 私は美しい写真だけを持って日本へ帰ったのではありません。 これからの人生にも残り続けるであろう言葉と記憶、そして新たな可能性を感じる心を持ち帰ることができました。 正直、星5つでは足りません。
An unforgettable experience. Jason our guide was so knowledgeable (and a very talented photographer!) Pick ups and drop offs were done efficiently. He kept us all entertained and updated about any upcoming stops / bathroom breaks. The day was long but worth every second. Death Valley is a truly beautiful place. The stargazing was magical. Jason's extra touches made it even better - yoga mats to lie on was a great idea and very welcome! I would definitely recommend this tour. I would even do it again.
5/5 AMAZING!!! Worth every cent. Tim, our guide, was amazing and communicated pickup and drop off so effectively. The views, schedule, and layout of the day was amazing. Tim did a great job of making us feel individually welcomed, kept us on schedule, and became a friend to all of us on tour. The stars were amazing: saw the Milky Way and shooting stars!! They offer you mats to lay down on to stargaze, but I sat upright to be vigilant of snakes etc as that made me uneasy laying on my back in the middle of the desert. But I appreciated the offer of comfort provided! We had no problem incidents, but it’s good to be mindful. The whole day was incredible with appropriate stops for food, restrooms, and souvenirs. Would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to get the most of Death Valley and up to an all day 11 hr adventure. Cold waters were provided along the way, and all of us in the van became really good friends exploring this epic trip together.
Amazing experience, our guide Andrew was just wonderful! He is full of information, funny and so kind. My mom has mobility issues and he was great helping her in and out of van. If you are hesitant about taking this trip, do it! A once in a lifetime experience. Breathtaking views of an incredible place And the stargazing… no words
This was one of the best yours we've done so far. We were a super small group of 3 which made it even more enjoyable. Andrew our guide was brilliant super friendly and looked after us, he took loads of pictures for us as well which was really appreciated. The stops were amazing especially Dante's view and the sunset/stargazing. I would highly recommend.
Our guide Andrew was great! Super knowledgeable, nice, funny, and took great photos and videos for our group
Wonderful tour. Guide was very knowledgeable. Plenty of rest stops.
Very disappointing at the end. The tour guy Andrew took me and my partner some night photos with his phone and I reminded him twice to send it to me and he never did. I even texted him and never got a reply. It’s so upsetting about the fact that I paid so much money and wasn’t even considered about getting those photos which I wanted to be part of a memory.
Andrew was a great host, guide and driver for our day out. We got to see multiple beautiful places and it all culminated in a wonderful stargazing spot.
Andrew was very knowledgeable about the area. Not only did he take us to some amazing places but he explained their history, the geologic events that formed them, and the wild life that inhabits the area. My wife and I had a wonderful time and Andrew took some amazing photos of us We are incredibly pleased with Andrew and this excursion
Our guide, Andrew, was phenomenal! He reached out with a detailed itinerary in advance so that we could ask questions and coordinate pick-up. When he arrived, he was extremely personable and made the long drive to Death Valley fun. Andrew shared many facts throughout the day to keep us engaged and prepare us for different parts of the park. He made sure we cool, comfortable, and hydrated in the car all day long. He captured memories at different sites across the park and shared the pictures with us after the trip. Death Valley itself, while hot in August, was my partner's favorite part of our weekend in Las Vegas. The landscape was incredibly unique and felt like we were on a different planet. We had dinner at The Ranch at Death Valley and it was surprisingly good. After sunset viewing, we had the opportunity to stargaze, where Andrew even prepared mats for us to lie down and look up at the stars. It seemed like just a day hanging out with friends and we highlighly recommend this tour for anyone in the Las Vegas area!
⭐⭐⭐Absolutely Amazing Trip Thanks to Andrew! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Andrew was absolutely amazing on this trip! His energy and knowledge are second to none. His incredible attention to detail and the thoughtful little extras he added made the entire experience feel extra special (I won’t say exactly what they were because I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else!). He takes the time to get to know each and every person, making everyone feel incredibly valued and included. I can’t wait to come back with my family and do this trip all over again! xxx
Andrew is awesome who took care of us. In the intense summer heat, he ensure we were hydrated and we stay safe. He planned the itinerary around the time so that we need not stay out in the heat for too long. We were thankful for cloudless night for star grazing and helped us took awesome photos
Andrew is simple the best guide. Funny, committed and entertaining. 10 hrs went by like nothing. Thank you!
Our trip to Death Valley with Andrew as our guide was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. He not only shared fascinating stories and provided a smooth and safe drive, but also created an incredible atmosphere by choosing the perfect pieces of music to play at each spot. It felt as though we were taking part in a movie, with every story perfectly followed by music that made the moment even more memorable. The combination of the breathtaking scenery, Andrew’s storytelling, and the carefully chosen music created one of the greatest travel experiences of my life. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Death Valley!
The evening before departure I received a schedule with the exact pickup time and place. The schedule also included my phone number so I knew they would be able to reach me if there were any misunderstandings. On the day of departure the bus didn't show up. After waiting for a while I started getting nervous thinking I missed the ride. After 30 minutes i tried calling an texting the tour guide. There was no response to my texts and the phone calls went straight to voice mail. I tried contacting the tour operator via trip advisor and finally almost two hours after the planned departure I got a response telling me the tour got cancelled. Extremely bad treatment of customers. Spent my only day off in Las Vegas waiting for a tour that never happened.
Such a fabulous experience! Andrew, our tour guide, was excellent. Texted us easy instructions and an agenda, picked us up at our hotel, had lots of great information, was very engaging, took excellent photos, had lots of cold water, and even set the stage with music during the tour. He kept the conversation flowing. We went in August when it was HOT. Temperatures reached up to 125 degrees. We were able to hop in and out quickly. I’d recommend serious sun protection if you come during the summer months. There were 7 people on our tour, so we had room to bring a backpack with some snacks and neck fans and chargers. There were USB ports in the van. We didn’t need to bring so much. We stopped at a nice gas station on the way to and from Death Valley for the bathroom and snacks. There is a bathroom stop about every 2 hours and we had a chance to eat dinner at a place in Death Valley. By far the *star* was the stargazing. I had done some research on the best time to see the Milky Way from Death Valley and planned accordingly. As you may know, you can mostly see the dust clouds with the naked eye and the vibrant outline in photos— this was exactly our experience. The viewing and photos were fantastic. We brought a camera and our cell phones. I can’t recommend this tour enough. I got to check off a bucket list item! Do your research on the night sky before you go if that’s your goal for the trip. Andrew will make sure you get great photos on your cell phone!
Because of Andrew and his assistant and the amazing people in the group, this entire experience was unbelievable and so memorable. Andrew is passionate about what he does and really thought of everything to make our trip as comfortable as possible.
Great Tour. Temp was over 125 degrees Fahrenheit but it was very manageable. Andrew our guide was Knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible, and funny! It felt like a car full of friends driving out. Andrew made sure everyone was safe and comfortable even in the extreme heat. He brought ice waters and distributed them often! Besides the scenery the next best thing was that Andrew knew all the right places to go and helped take the most amazing pictures!
Wow! What an amazing day we had with Andrew! It was unbelievably hot but he kept us cool and comfortable. All of the stops were breathtaking and along the way Andrew shared the history and geological evolution of the areas. His question and answer approach bonded our group and the peak timing of the stops ensured an optimal experience for all. Highlights include the dramatic shadowy sunset and stargazing under a full moon. Thanks!
This very hot day we had a nice excursion to the death valley. Badwater and the other spots were very exciting to visit. Our guide and driver was a good story teller and organised the day well. As last the star looking was amazing guided with nice pictures. I can recommend this tour!
This was, without a doubt, one of the best tours I've ever been on. I've traveled to more than 40 countries, so I've met many tour guides over the years, but Jason truly stands out as one of the best. His knowledge, passion, organization, and genuine care for the group made the entire experience unforgettable. The level of preparation honestly exceeded all my expectations. It wasn't just a tour—it was a complete experience. The attention to detail and the effort put into making the day special were incredible. And the surprises didn't end when the tour was over. We received beautifully edited photos, stunning night sky shots, and even personalized video from our day. I never expected anything like that, and it made the experience even more memorable. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate. You'll be amazed not only by Death Valley itself but also by everything you receive as part of the experience. Highly recommended!
I recently took my sister in law on this trip having done it the year before myself and enjoyed it. A fantastic day with plenty to see. It was made even better by Andrew, our guide for the day. His efforts, knowledge and sense of humour were very much appreciated. Highly recommend.
Death Valley is an amazing place. I was just looking for something to do to fill in my vacation and picked it because the pics people took were beautiful. Our guide Andrew was funny, engaging, and knowledgeable about all of the places we passed by and stopped at to take pics. Whether it was showing us locations that parts of the Star Wars movies were filmed, a Tesla burst into flames, or how Death Valley got its name, he knew the area very well. Andrew also made sure to help us with taking pics, always offering to take some for everyone in my group. He brought plenty of water along for everyone and made plenty of restroom breaks. At the stargazing location, he brought mats for us to lay on and look at the stars, and also took a long exposure photo for everyone that showed the Milky Way.
The death valley national park is under-appreciated. It has a variety of unique landscapes, and the view is breathtaking. The best part of the trip is our tour guide, Andrew Cho. He is knowledgeable and considerate. He paced the entire trip perfectly. Six out of five stars.
Fantastic time on this trip, this was our second time to Death Valley but our first star gazing and it was worth every penny. The main star of the trip was our guide Andrew who made it great as he made sure everyone on the tour got the most out of the time spent at the locations we visited. I would highly recommend booking this tour and if you get Andrew you are in for a great time.
Absolutely wonderful. Andrew was the best. Loved the experience. Would recommend this tour and guide to anyone
