Itinerary
This tour begins with pickup from your Las Vegas Strip hotel in the morning. Travel to Death Valley aboard a custom Tour Trekker vehicle, with a comfort stop in Pahrump on the way.
The first stop in the park will be at Dante's View for panoramic views over Badwater Basin and the park. Then, stop at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center to look at exhibits, purchase souvenirs, and collect a Death Valley stamp for a National Park passport, if desired.
Learn about and view remnants of Death Valley’s mining history at Harmony Borax Works Interpretive Trail. Then travel down Badwater Road to the Devil’s Golf Course, a large salt pan on the floor of Death Valley. The rain and wind continually erode this region, shape-shifting the ground into different-looking terrain with the weather.
After a break for lunch, drive to the Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. This surreal landscape at Death Valley features one of the largest protected salt flats in the world—too harsh for most plants and animals to survive in.
Stop to admire the colorful hillsides at Artist's Palette. Then enjoy an off-road adventure in the Twenty Mule Team Canyon. Along the way, learn about Death Valley’s history, landscape and wildlife, plus the urban legends of ghost towns and long-abandoned gold mines along the way.
The tour ends with drop-off back at your Las Vegas hotel.

Carol was a great tour guide - personable, professional, flexible. We anticipated the long tour but were really tired! A couple of roads were closed due to previous day’s rain, but we still saw lots! My main disappointment was not seeing the Ubehebe crater, but the rest of the tour was excellent

A must see National Park in the US!! The biggest and most extreme National Park in the US! It’s a huge area, with so many different and incredible landscapes! We were a bit sceptical before booking the tour, as we didn’t know what to expect from the Death Valley, but it’s definitely amazing and we feel
Lucky that we be been there!! We had several stops with our super Jeep in the Death Valley, and learnt incredible information about the area! Definitely worth the trip!

Our tour guide, Jurgen, made the trip memorable with his personality, his sense of humor, his knowledge and his joy in being a guide.
The vehicle was very comfortable. The views were fantastic. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful day. The lunch was filling and we had a lovely spot to eat.

We had an amazing day with our guide Don Ritchey! This was a long tour but so worth it. We started around 6:30am for pick up and returned around 5:45pm. There are plenty of stops along the way for breaks. We even managed a quick stop at the "nut house"...great little candy store. The art exhibit in the middle of the desert was cool to see. Salt Creek Trail was beautiful with water you could hear trickling (in the middle of the desert!!!). Badwater Basin was beautiful to see while looking way up the mountain to see the sea level sign. My favorite was the artist palette. The colors were amazing and I'd love to hike there. We've done the Grand Canyon tour and the Death Valley Tour was my favorite by far. So much to see.

Breathtaking views - was glad we chose the Pink Jeep tour - Mike was so informative and we would have had no idea where to go to see things on our own
Mark_F, Oct 2021
Obviously the landscape was amazing. What was a super plus was our guide, John. His knowledge of geology, the entire region, personality etc made him the only guide who should be conducting this tour. Looking forward to our next trip to Vegas and we’ll do the Grand Canyon with him.
Constance_W, Oct 2021
Dennis was great. Share with us many interesting facts about the area. The stops we made had great scenery and Dennis offered to take pics of us.
Anyone wanting to see Death Valley from Vegas, this is definitely the way to do it.
Most importantly plenty of water available.
