Death Valley Day Tour

Death Valley Day Tour

The hottest place on Earth: Badwater Basin 86 meters below sea level, the golden ridges of Zabriskie Point, and the sweeping vistas of Dante’s View.

Death Valley is a land of extremes: the hottest and driest place in North America, with the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at Badwater Basin.

The guided day trip from Las Vegas covers the main highlights: Zabriskie Point with its golden badlands, the salt crusts of Badwater, and the view from Dante’s View, 1,600 meters above the valley.

Despite its name, the valley is especially pleasant from October to April – exactly when tours are most popular.

What to Expect

• Badwater Basin: 86 m below sea level
• Zabriskie Point and the Golden Badlands
• Dante’s View: Views Across the Entire Valley
• Salt Flats and Sand Dunes
• Best time to visit: October to April

Tips for your tour

• In summer, temperatures exceed 50 degrees Celsius – tours then run only very early or not at all.
• Drink plenty of water, even when it doesn't feel hot.
• The salt crusts at Badwater Basin are at their most photogenic in the morning.
• There are hardly any places to stock up along the way – pack snacks.
