Monument Valley Tour Highlights
Our Monument Valley Tours
Discover one of the most iconic landscapes in North America on a tour of Monument Valley. Situated in Southwestern USA on the Arizona–Utah border, Monument Valley is known for its bright-red spindles, grand buttes and towering sandstone mesas. Don’t miss the opportunity to channel your inner Clint Eastwood and set foot on this landscape that accentuates everything we know and love about Spaghetti Western movies.
With isolated mesas and buttes towering as high as 1,000 feet above sea level, these unique sandstone formations within the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park are every photographer’s dream. Wherever you stand (and whatever time you visit on your Monument Valley tour) you are never far away from the perfect photo opportunity. For one of the most dramatic sunrises you will ever experience, head to Totem Pole, a 450ft tall butte, and for the ultimate sunset head to Mitten View. As the sun rises and sets over the horizon, watch as the pink and white rocks change colour and the light dances among the buttes and mesas.

Best time to visit Monument Valley?
Expect a lot of sun and plenty of dry heat where temperatures rise to almost 40C during the summer and then dramatically fall to below zero in the winter months. Cooler temperatures and fewer visitors make spring and autumn the ideal time to visit on your Monument Valley tour, however the winter season just as spectacular. In the winter months it’s not uncommon to see snow fall at Monument Valley, which makes for some incredible photo opportunities.

Gordon McGowan Trek America: Canyons & National ParksThis was a great trip, made better by a fantastic guide who went out of her way to ensure everyone had a great time.
Marin Popa Trek America: Canyons & National ParksThe itinerary was very well-balanced, including a combination of various sightseeing and walks. For us, first-time visitors to these parts of the USA, every day brought something new and amazing, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Mike, our guide, is a consummate professional – he ensured everything went like clockwork and without doubts or worries, he gave us all the information we needed, told us in an attractive storytelling manner short historical, geographical, and social narratives, enabling us to understand better the places we saw. His permanent optimism and sense of humor made everything look easy and every minute pleasant and worth remembering. The whole atmosphere was relaxing and as magical as the sites we visited. Thanks! Suggestions for improving the experience: 1. It should be noted that the seats in the van are quite narrow, especially in the last row. There were 11 of us and we fit in the van relatively comfortably. A party of 13 would feel very tight, especially on the longer drives. 2. The best accommodations were in Tonopah and Zion. I understand that there are few other options in most of the locations, but at the price we paid, better motels would have been welcomed. Sorry if I seem a bit picky – all in all, it was a trip to remember, an experience of a lifetime.
