About this activity

Death Valley Day tours are packed with adventure that is tailored to you and your family. Our guides are pros at making adjustments to the day based on your interests. We will stop at mountain vistas, salt flats, golden canyons, and more! As we drive through the park, we will keep our eyes peeled for tarantulas, jackrabbits, bighorn sheep, and more!

Few landscapes in the world are as striking and memorable as that of Death Valley National Park. The park also has a rich cultural history of wandering gold miners, Hollywood movies (including Return of the Jedi for our Star Wars fans out there), as well as deep roots of the indigenous tribes that our guides will talk of on the tour.

Along the way, we’ll stop for a delicious picnic lunch or dinner. Our guides will share stories of the park’s human and geological history as well as information about flora and fauna.
