Death Valley National Park Small-Group Day Tour from Las Vegas

Escape the Las Vegas crowds on this intimate small-group day trip to Death Valley National Park, the largest national park in the lower 48 and home to some of the most surreal landscapes in North America. With a maximum of just a handful of guests, you get a relaxed, personal experience and plenty of time for photos at each stop. Your friendly local driver-guide shares the geology, history, and hidden stories behind iconic sights like Zabriskie Point, Badwater Basin, the Mesquite Sand Dunes, and the rainbow-colored Artist's Palette — all with convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, bottled water, and a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.

1. 1

   Zabriskie Point

   30 min

   Stop at one of Death Valley’s most iconic viewpoints, overlooking the dramatically eroded golden badlands of Furnace Creek. Your guide points out the colorful, wave-like rock formations while you take in the sweeping desert panorama.

2. 2

   Badwater

   45 min

   Walk out onto the vast salt flats of Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. Your guide explains how the surreal, hexagon-patterned salt crust formed as you take in the striking scenery.

3. 3

   Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes

   30 min
