What can I say, it was breathtakingly beautiful from start to finish. Our guide Brian was brilliant and very professional. He took time to explain things to me face to face as I am deaf and I only lip read. What a day.

We had a fabulous time on our tour to Death Valley. Our guide Jason was very welcoming and gave lots of interesting information about the whole area we drove through. The scenery got better and better as we drove along. Our stop for breakfast was super with good food and coffee. It was a very long day but well worth it

Excellent

Vimala_J, May 2024

Spectacular

Barbara_W, May 2024

The whole experience was great! Everywhere we stopped at was amazing. The tour guide was personable, knowledgeable and funny. Ask for Jason

Great day trip 5 stars.

Carl_K, Apr 2024

Had a fantastic day. The day started early with a pick up directly from our hotel. Our tour guide was exceptional, friendly, knowledgeable and willing to alter the trip slightly to accommodate our ok interests. Being a small group really benefited. Day was set out really well with plenty of stop offs to really take in the sites and explore a little. Great value for money and would do again.

5 star experience

Thelma_G, Apr 2024

Brian was an excellent guide. We spent a lovely day in Death Valley and I would book this tour again. I highly recommend. An excellent guide and very accommodating.

Outstanding!

Barry_T, Apr 2024

Mohave Wave LLC is the way to go! This is a small business with a very strong customer service value. We traveled in a modified, off road van, and we were two of seven passengers. Brian picked is up at our hotel at 5am (earlier in the summer) to beat the heat in the desert. Not only did we go everywhere on the schedule, but Brian added an off road excursion to an old gold mine (this was only after unanimous agreement). Brian’s knowledge of the desert was outstanding, partially due to his avid off duty time in the area. This trip was well worth our money and our time. We strongly recommend this service if you are in the Vegas area. Additionally, if you have never been to a desert or to Death Valley, it is absolutely beautiful.

As good as it gets

Linda_S, Apr 2024

As good as it gets. Jason was a terrific guide – knowledgeable, funny, very accomplished. We had a very nice group too and that made it even more enjoyable. Nothing bad to say or improve on. Just an all around great experience we would highly recommend.

Death Valley small group tour

Becca_w, Apr 2024

Our trip with Jason was wonderful. He was knowledgeable and funny, he told us everything and anything we needed to know. He made sure we got the absolute most out of our experience and treated us like we were the first group he had ever taken out there. He brought the group together and helped us all have a fabulous day out together. Death Valley is a wonderful place that really does make you go “wow”, its vastness is both beautiful and empty - though more grows there than you think. This trip is unmissable and the small group helps you to have a far more personable experience.

Just go you wont regret it!

Cheryal_H, Apr 2024

The whole trip was wonderful! Jason made it fun and informative. We where picked up on time with great communication by Jason. He explained so much about Death Valley that every stop was special. The breakfast was great! We saw so much more then if we tried to do it our self.

Just Book it!!! Amazing experience

Kim_C, Apr 2024

An absolutely wonderful day! Brian did a fantastic job of really catering to our group. Meaning he was involved with OUR interests not just repeating a standard memorized script. At th e ghost town he took us into an old Gold Mine!! How amazing was the experience. Death Valley was breathe taking. We even took time to off-road to a possible new overlook, went to Aguereberry Point instead of Dante's which provided us with a higher view. He even timed getting us to the perfevt spot just in time for the sunset. Volunteers to take group photos for you. This was the highlight of the week in Vegas. We would definitely book this tour again!!!

Everything and more

Christine_H, Apr 2024

Outstanding Full Day Tour!!

Jane_W, Mar 2024

Outstanding full day trip to Death Valley!!!!! Jason is a great guide - super knowledgeable, very friendly and very thoughtful. The places we visited were so so so so very beautiful.

Well worth every minute!

Nancy_B, Mar 2024

We cannot stop talking about how wonderful this tour was and how extensive and enjoyable it was for us. Brian, our tour operator ,was awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the park and truly loves it and loves taking people to see all of its beauty. We spent a full day enjoying all of the must see sites and well as doing a bit of off roading and even explored an abandoned gold mine! Brian's commentary along the route about the history of Las Vegas and Death Valley itself made the journey there very enjoyable as well. We are so very glad we did this tour! Plus, we got to meet some really nice people who travelled along with us. The fact that we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off afterwards was great. Brian kept us all safe and secure with his capable driving skills as well. Don't miss this tour!!

They did all the work. We got all the enjoyment.

David_B, Mar 2024

Jason is fun and knowledgeable. Got us to all the places. Took care of all the planning and driving. Loved this way to see the park. The van had great windows. The breakfast stop was good timing. Highly recommend

Desolate, awe inspiring beauty

Callie_R, Mar 2024

Each of our stops along the route was a new experience for me. If I had to choose one, it would be Dante’s View for its jaw-dropping, panoramic views. Death Valley is truly a land of Desolate Beauty.

Exceptional trip!

Randy_W, Mar 2024

The entire trip was fun filled. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area, geography and topography.

Fantastic Tour

Dirk_D, Mar 2024

Amazing Tour

Julianna_S, Mar 2024

This tour was amazing. Our guide, Jason, was very informative and fun! This is a must do when in Vegas.

Unforgettable experience

Fiona_W, Mar 2024

The perfect way to explore Death Valley when you have limited time, little experience in these environments and/or do not drive. Our guide Jason was informative, helpful and had a great sense of humour, which put the group at ease and helped everyone have fun. Jason was great at tailoring the tour to what we were interested in whether that was history, geology or wildlife. He was hugley knowledgeable and his passion for the valley was infectious. The logistics in the lead up and during the trip were well explained, clear and smoothly executed. Highly recommend!

Great nature day trip

deborah_d, Feb 2024

We learned new facts and saw parts of Death Valley not seen on previous unguided trips. Jason, our guide was a safe driver, personable with a good sense of humor and seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did.
