Mount Rushmore Night Illumination and Ceremony
We truly love the Black Hills of South Dakota and enjoy sharing the secrets we've found along the way. Our tours are completely private, meaning your group will be the only ones in our vehicles. No mixing or crowding. We're able to venture into places the large tour busses are unable to access. Our knowledge of the area is based on personal experience, and each guide goes through intensive training to ensure they are awesome representatives of the Black Hills and Badlands.
The Southern Black Hills Explorer
This tour is really unique in that it offers guides who love their work, are paid a living wage, and receive regular training and tips as we all learn together. We share stories and findings, then share them between ourselves. We set out on a journey, not a tour. While our tours are a full day, they don't seem like it with all we have to show. Adults and kids will have a great time, learn in the process and take home meaningful memories!
