Join a full-day exploration of Death Valley, and journey through North America’s lowest elevation point and driest climate, which sees the country's hottest temperatures in the summer months. Learn about the valley’s unique geological features, and enjoy sweeping views of desert gorges, striking peaks, dry salt lakes and miles of sand dunes.
Your adventure begins at an abandoned gold-mining town, where many Hollywood movies and TV shows have filmed such as Star Wars and various Twilight Zone episodes. Travel in an air-conditioned, luxury SUV or VIP Mini Coach to the heart of Death Valley, and listen as your certified interpretive guide shares fascinating facts about the area’s unique history and intriguing weather patterns—like the fact that Death Valley’s highest recorded temperature is 134 degrees Fahrenheit (56 degrees C).
Down 282 feet (86 m) below sea level sits Badwater Basin, a saltwater pool that is noted as the lowest point in North America. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of Zabriskie Point, the Devil’s Golf Course, Artist's Palette, and the Furnace Creek Museum. At Hell’s Gate, you have vast and stunning views over the entirety of Death Valley as you enter down into the valley from the east, see if you can spot a bighorn sheep or a lizard, and then take in breathtaking views of Death Valley’s red, pink, and yellow oxidized rocks. Photos alone do not do these majestic scenes justice. You'll love this tour.
