Las Vegas: Stargazing In The Mountains

We are not gamblers and prefer the outdoors, so we decided to give this a try and it was worth it! Jake was super helpful and gave us simple directions to follow. We were unfortunately stuck outside the canyon due to an accident, and jake made sure we were able to get out and helped us even though it was getting late. He was a phone call away if we needed anything! Highly recommend!!

Not sure how this isn't the #1 in outdoor activities! The wife and I aren't big partiers or gamblers so we were looking for other things to do for our first time in Vegas. This did not disappoint in any way. This is a self guided tour that you can make anything you want. I was a little afraid of what to ask for and that is my biggest regret - along with not getting the Jeep for a longer time. Jake runs this place and he will literally include anything you want to make this a first class excursion. He does include a lot of basics like camping chairs, propane firepit, iced drinks, snacks, speaker, telescope, and maps to the spots you need to see. If you want anything else, just ask him ( I did get a bottle of champagne for our anniversary toast). Jake is such a great guy to talk to and will help you in any way that you need. The area we went to is several miles into the desert, but we still saw several other campers on the way in. The view was amazing! The sunset was beautiful and the stars on a new moon night we incredible. This place gives a new meaning to quiet. To have this self-guided tour is the ultimate Las Vegas adventure and rivals any and every excursion out there. If you are thinking of doing this, please don't hesitate and book this now!

This is an easy, convenient, self guided excursion out into the dessert for a gorgeous sunset and star gazing. Thank God my wife made us get comfy warm joggers to enjoy the chilly dessert evening so come prepared for that, the propane fire supplied with the jeep kept us warm as well! The chairs, blankets, lighting was so convenient, worked properly and was easy to use as well! Jake the owner was awesome and friendly to talk to…got us set up and on our way, you just can’t help to cheer for his business success! Do this…the best 250 bucks you’ll ever spend in Vegas!!!

If you are looking for something different and outside the norm while in Vegas, DO THIS TOUR! Jake made this adventure so easy. He tells you everything you need to know, equips you with everything you need including snacks and off you go on your own to view the stars in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed it so much. The directions are idiot proof and the stars did not disappoint. (I do suggest booking when there isn’t a semi-full moon because the added light does take away from all you can see, but even with the moon it was amazing. Highly recommend and when we are in Vegas again, we will be checking out some of the other tour offerings.

The experience was amazing. The drive was nice and easy to navigate. Mike did an amazing job explaining everything making sure we were good to go. The Sky was clear and so many stars out to see! I only give it 4/5 due to the fact that the telescope was hard to set up and get working properly. I felt there were pieces missing or not in place I gave up halfway through which is a bummer because I’m huge into stargazing and watching the night sky. But I used the binoculars provided which was perfect! The fire pit kept us warm and we had music playing it was a chill and I really enjoyed it. Overall it was a great experience and I definitely recommend it for people who love stargazing and looking for a chill time

We booked the stargazing tour directly through discover it yourself. We had a phenomenal time and it was one of our favorite activities we've done in Las Vegas. Driving the jeep in rugged terrain was a blast. We parked at a secluded campsite and watched an amazing sunset, enjoyed a beautiful evening stargazing and cooked Smores over a firepit. The company was easy to work with and answered questions both by phone and email. I highly recommend this tour.

Great experience and service. Everything was covered and the added chairs and fire pit were perfect to enjoy the sunset. The area and pre mapped points were also ideal for enjoying the views.

During a work trip to Las Vegas my husband and I wanted to get away from the strip and this was perfect! Everything was included and the arrangements were a breeze. We return frequently to Vegas for work, this will now be on our list to do every time!

Great way to beat the heat of the strip and relax abd see more stars without all the ambient light. And much cooler that the 101 temps of vegas. Pack jeans.

Amazing Experience..Jacob makes sure you are very well taken care of. Jeep is excellent, snacks, blankets, chairs,telescope,cold water all included. He is knowledgeble. Would recommend above all others!

The Best experience, great personal service. Wanted to get away and see something different and new to us. We got a one off experience. If you want to be alone and know how to 4x4? Skip the high $$$ ATV/helicopter group rides. We left at 5 pm and followed map to our choice of several different spots, watched sunset, put it in 4x4 and went down rocky path. Pulled the chairs out, lit the fire and watched the stars populate the fading blue sky. Crept back up and out about 10, then back to the drop of point by 11. If your looking for a one off adventure? Star gazing? Look no further. They have everything you need. Book your trip now. Oh and the price is too low in my opinion, definitely one of the most inexpensive things we did while we were here.

I had the most amazing stargazing experience with Discover It Yourself! Jake was super friendly and had everything prepped and ready to go in the Jeep for our adventure. I added the fire pit and s’mores to my experience, and it was so worth it—it made the whole night even more fun and cozy for the group. Being out under the open sky, surrounded by nature, and watching the stars was absolutely magical. Highly recommend!

The drive, the sunset, and the stars were all such an amazing experience. The hospitality was excellent and Jae is super friendly and helpful. This was my favorite part of my vacation and will definitely try some of the other experiences they offer next time I’m back!

Was an amazing time! We got to see the mountains right outside Vegas and have a romantic movie night in the forest. We even saw some wildlife driving into the canyon.

We were expecting a great night stargazing tour and would have liked to rate the experience higher but it did not happen. We booked the excursion through a booking company app. We provided contact information and received notice of the meeting point and time. Indicated via email to the provider to contact us through email, WhatsApp or Signal because we did not have cell service, just data. Arrived at the meeting point (their office) twenty minutes before scheduled departure. We were given notice to be at the meeting point no later than ten minutes before the scheduled departure time. Nobody in the office. Contacted the booking company via chat when nobody showed up at the meeting time. Managed to find a way to call the tour operator and left a message. Left a separate message with the vendor through the booking app. No response. So, we ordered return transport to our hotel. As it was arriving we received a call from the vendor via WhatsApp. They indicated that they were “in the mountains shooting content and could not get back on time.” Offered us the use of a vehicle, a refund and to rebook the next day for free. It was the last night in Vegas for us. We contacted the booking company. Our booking was cancelled and we received a refund. Then we received a message from the booking company through the app. They were told by the vendor that the excursion was cancelled because their vehicle was not operational. Different than what we were told when we spoke with them. Poor communication. Last minute cancellation after the meeting time. Different reason for cancellation given to us and the booking company. Should be a rating of zero.

Absolutely amazing experience! If you're looking for a free reign adventure, this is a great option. Jake made the process hassle free, which allowed us to focus on enjoying the experience. Blankets, pillows, headlamps, telescope, snacks, and water were provided which was extremely thoughtful. 10/10, would 100% recommend Discover IT Yourself and Jake.

Jake was an exceptional host! He was very knowledgeable about the Vegas area. He even gave us an excellent recommendation for dinner, The Montana Steakhouse, yummy!! He's a great communicator and was fun to visit with. The Jeep was super clean and filled with all the goodies (and then some) we needed for a night of star gazing! His rates are super reasonable. We highly recommend taking an adventure with Discover It Yourself Adventures you won't regret it!

Wonderful experience! We loved our evening under the stars. Jake, the owner, has extensive information about numerous outdoor activities and he guided us to multiple spots for our event and provided us with everything we needed. We will definitely book with this tour operator again.
