Explore Death Valley’s salt flats and colorful hills, then watch sunset and stargaze beneath the desert sky on a 12-hour tour from Las Vegas.

About this tour

Leave Las Vegas behind for a full day among Death Valley’s salt flats, colorful hills, and wide-open desert skies. This 12-hour Death Valley day tour pairs landmark viewpoints with a sunset and a chance to see the stars.

Start with a photo stop at the park sign, then take in the vast basin from Dante’s View. At Badwater Basin, walk across the striking salt flats at the lowest point in the United States. Continue to Artist’s Palette, where mineral-stained volcanic hills bring vivid color to the desert landscape. A lunch break at The Ranch at Death Valley offers time to purchase a meal before the afternoon’s scenic stops.

At Zabriskie Point, watch the light shift across the rugged badlands as the sun sets. Later, pause in Amargosa Valley for stargazing; the stop begins about 90 minutes after sunset, and visibility depends on clouds and moon phases. Hotel pickup and drop-off from the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown, air-conditioned round-trip transportation, park entry, and bottled water are included. Your English- and Korean-speaking guide helps bring the landscape into focus. Book this Death Valley day tour for a memorable desert escape, from bright salt flats to a starry night sky.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 3.26 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Las Vegas
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
