Everything was smooth right from the start. I loved that I didn’t have to worry about transportation. The trip was comfortable, and the guide was great. Seeing the Badwater Basin in person was amazing. I only ever saw it in photos, so being there felt great. The Furnace Creek Visitor Center was another highlight. I learned so much about the desert. I also had no idea that the hottest place on Earth was there. If you’re looking for a fun day trip from Las Vegas, I recommend this one!
What a great day trip! I always wanted to visit Death Valley and am so happy I finally did. I really liked exploring Rhyolite and the other ghost towns. It’s crazy to see the old buildings still standing. Walking through Devil's Golf Course was unlike anything I’ve seen before. The landscape was so unique. Traveling with a small group made it easy to ask questions. I could also get good photos without feeling rushed. Dante’s View was great, and I got the best photos there! Definitely check out this tour if you want to visit Death Valley. It's so worth it!
DESCRIPTION
Death Valley Tour from Las Vegas
START YOUR DESERT ADVENTURE
Your Death Valley Tour from Las Vegas begins with pick-up from your hotel. First, you’ll drive through the Mojave Desert. You’ll see a vast landscape of sand, rocks, and desert plants. As you drive, your tour guide will share stories about the wildlife and history of the region. The first stop is Rhyolite, a historic ghost town that boomed after gold was found in 1904. Your guide will talk about how that town once held over 10,000 people. You will also walk among old ruins and see abandoned buildings. After this visit, you’ll set off towards Death Valley.
HIGHS, LOWS, AND SAND DUNES
After entering Death Valley, you will visit Dante's View. It is the highest paved viewpoint in the valley. This makes it a great spot for beautiful panoramic views of the valley below. Then, you will head to Badwater Basin. It is the lowest elevation point in North America at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. After this, you will explore the jagged formations of Devil's Golf Course. Your guide will explain how this name comes from a National Park Service guidebook. It stated, "Only the devil could play golf" there. You'll also see mesquite flat sand dunes. The guide will explain how the wind reshapes the landscape.
DESERT VIEWS ON THE WAY BACK
Next, you’ll visit Artist’s Palette, where hills show colors from oxidized minerals. It’s a great spot for photos and to see the valley’s unusual geology. Then stop at Furnace Creek Visitor Center. Furnace Creek is the location where the highest air temperature ever reliably recorded on Earth was measured, 134°F (57°C). There you can also learn about the park’s wildlife, plants, and history. After, you will set off back to Las Vegas, taking in the desert landscapes one last time. Your tour guide will share final stories about the valley and point out any sights you may have missed.

How did Death Valley get its name?
Death Valley got its name from a group of unlucky gold miners called the Bennett-Arcane Party. In 1849, they were traveling from the East to California’s gold fields. They got lost in the desert while following the Old Spanish Trail. Trapped and starving, some stayed at Travertine Springs. Others walked for days to find help. A month later, the survivors returned. Sadly, some had already died from hunger and exhaustion. As one of the lucky survivors left the valley, he reportedly said, “Goodbye, Death Valley.” That phrase stuck, giving the valley its haunting name. It still warns visitors of its tough conditions today.
