This 12-hour bus tour from Las Vegas offers a visit to key areas of Death Valley National Park, including Dante’s View, Badwater Basin, Artist’s Palette, and Zabriskie Point. Guests are picked up from their hotels on the Las Vegas Strip before traveling to the park. The tour begins with a photo stop at the Death Valley National Park sign. Next, the group spends about half an hour at Dante’s View, located 5,476 feet above the valley floor, where guests can see salt flats, desert terrain, and the lowest point in North America. Following that is a 30-minute stop at Badwater Basin, the continent’s lowest point at 282 feet below sea level, featuring expansive salt flats and natural salt formations. The tour continues with a 60-minute visit to Artist’s Palette, where colorful sedimentary hills display shades of pink, gold, green, and purple. Then, guests spend an hour at Zabriskie Point, walking a short paved path to overlook canyons and badlands near Furnace Creek, a prime location to watch the sunset colors over the desert. After sunset, approximately 90 minutes later, the group moves to Death Valley Junction or a similar location for about 30 minutes of stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the U.S. The guide points out stars, planets, and constellations, conditions permitting. The tour concludes with a 15-minute rest stop in Pahrump before returning to Las Vegas between 10 PM and 1 AM. Included in the tour are bottled water, all fees and taxes, hotel pickup and drop-off, a professional guide, and the Death Valley tour with stargazing. Meals and gratuities are not included. Stargazing is dependent on weather and moonlight, and alternate locations are used if park roads are closed due to natural events. The tour is not suitable for people over 70 or with health issues, and service dogs cannot be accommodated.
