Great Basin National Park Tour From Las Vegas

Yes of course! There’s no children’s price for our tours, but any children aged 5 and older are welcome to enjoy the ride on our Great Basin tour at the full rate. And just let us know if you need a booster seat, and we can arrange it at no extra cost. Note: The alpine lake hike is moderate difficulty with elevation gain—please ensure children are comfortable with 2-3 hour hikes.

We pick up from all hotels within 2 miles of the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pick-ups are at 6:00 AM from Treasure Island and drop-offs are usually around 9:00-9:30 PM, depending on conditions on the day of the tour. This is our longest day tour due to the remote location of Great Basin National Park.

No (only if you want)! We’ll provide unlimited water, drinks, and snacks for our guests along the way. We also arrange pre-made sandwiches for your picnic lunch at the alpine lake, which is included in the tour.

Unfortunately, there isn’t space for luggage and suitcases on the tour to Great Basin, but speak to your hotel and they can likely store them for you throughout the day.

Yes! As long as you are staying at a hotel within 2 miles of the Las Vegas strip or Downtown Las Vegas, you will be picked up directly from your hotel (pickup occurs at Treasure Island at 6:00 AM). We will email you the day before your tour to arrange the exact time and place you will be picked up for your Great Basin adventure.

Breakfast is usually muffins, bananas, snacks, and juice provided in the van.

Our tours are conducted in 15 seat passenger vans, not buses. There is no bathroom on our vans. We will make timely stops so all our guests can use the restroom throughout our Great Basin trip.

Unfortunately, there isn’t room on our small group tour vans to bring a wheelchair. Additionally, the Alpine Lake Loop Trail is a moderate hiking trail that may not be accessible for those with mobility limitations.

Experience Nevada’s highest peaks with the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive reaching over 10,000 feet, hike through alpine forest to pristine mountain lakes with stunning reflections, explore the ancient Lehman Caves on a guided underground tour, and discover hidden Nevada gems along the way.

Parts of Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive are inaccessible during winter due to snowfall, but the park remains open year-round and the cave tour operates throughout winter. During winter months, the tour may include snowshoeing adventures through the park’s snowy landscapes—a unique and memorable experience!
