About this activity

Visit one of the most unique landscapes on earth on this full-day, small-group trip to Death Valley National Park from Las Vegas. You will be amazed at the sheer size and astounding natural features of this national treasure.

After an approximate 2.5-hour drive from Las Vegas by comfortable, air-conditioned van, arrive at the heart of Death Valley National Park in the Mojave Desert. Enjoy breathtaking photos opportunities at Zabriskie Point, located just east of Death Valley, known for its erosional landscape. Admire cascading hills and valleys on a scenic drive through stunning Artist’s Palette, a rock formation illuminated in vibrant colors, before stopping at the salt flats of Badwater Basin. At 280 feet (85 meters) below sea level, this is the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere!

Next, head to the Furnace Creek visitor center. Furnace Creek is the ancestral land of the Timbisha Native American tribe, and is also one of the hottest places in North America. Temperatures are known to reach as high as 135°F (57 °C)! Here, browse the Death Valley gift shop before traveling back through the Mojave Desert in time for some your Las Vegas nighttime activities.

Pick up/drop was easy and as expected. Van was clean and comfortable. The trouble began with tour guide- he seemed to lack solid knowledge of the formations/desert sights we were seeing. Moreover, nothing was conveyed in a concise or cohesive manner as most tour guides do. The whole car ride to the park was full of our guide's incessant chatter about his own personal stories about life in Nevada. Yet, when we visited the desert sights most of us had no idea which locations he had brought us to! All his talk was for nothing- we really didn't get a good idea about what we were seeing. I think, all in all, Death Valley is an amazing place to visit but I would have rather gone without our guide or used another tour group. Last note- lunch was not good at all, especially for the price paid per person. It consists of Jenny-O sandwich meat on a soggy roll, a bag of lays chips, water and a cookie someone packed in a sandwich bag.

119 degrees! But an excellent trip led by an excellent guide (Kriss).Very informative about geology,history of the area,natural history,early settlers etc.At this temperature though you can't be away from the air conditioning of the minibus more than say 10 minutes.Very good add on to the Grand Canyon and adjacent parks (which we had just done). Minibus fine for a day trip but would be a bit cramped for a longer trip.

For the money this was a poor tour. It cost quite a lot of money and I had expected much more. The amount of time actually spent in Death Valley was minimal. Our visit to Furnace Creek consisted of sitting under a tree with a sandwich. The so called picnic left a lot to be desired. My own was ordered specifically for a vegetarian and was as sloppy roll with some salad...not even a slice of cheese! the guide never stopped for breath...most of his nattering was about himself, his interest in reading and the stories he had read. Spend your hard earned cash eslewhere.

Driver should listen to the needs of the passengers. There is no need for the driver to talk all day, narrating interesting points yes but I did not like an not all day loud narration.
