Insider Tip
Bring water, snacks, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a light layer — desert weather can be harsh and changeable. Guides drop you near shuttle stops—grab a park shuttle map to plan efficient hikes or sightseeing. Tour pickups often begin early (5:30–6 AM), so plan accordingly. Desert climate is dry and hot; always stay hydrated and protect your skin. While structure exists, there's plenty of freedom—so bring a small daypack with essentials for self-guided exploring.
Important Info
Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your scheduled departure. The group cannot wait for late arrivals, as delays can make park entry more difficult. Be sure to confirm your pickup time and location the night before your tour via text, phone call, email, or WhatsApp. You’ll receive booking confirmation right after reserving. This experience is not wheelchair accessible and involves some hiking, so it’s not suitable for those with mobility issues, back problems, heart conditions, or for pregnant travelers. Participants should have a moderate level of physical fitness. Transportation is near public access points, and the group is limited to 12 travelers for a more personal experience. Cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance are eligible for a full refund. For any additional details, visit the Viator Help Center.
