How We Plan Your Trip
Every private trip we do is completely customized to your goals, physical comfort level, and travel style. You can be involved in the planning as much or as little as you want.
If you want to be hands-off: Tell us what kind of trip you’re looking for, and we will put together a couple of different itinerary options for you to choose from. Once you pick your favorite, we’ll handle 100% of the planning and bookings.
If you want to collaborate: We can work on the route together, bouncing ideas back and forth until we find the perfect mix of locations, stays, and activities.
Local Voyages (Southwest US)
Our local private trips start from Las Vegas and are typically sunset to late-night stargazing excursions (usually around 10 hours total). They are perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups of up to 4 people.
We will pick you up directly from your hotel in a comfortable ride, head out to catch a beautiful desert sunset, and spend the night stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the country.
Some of our favorite local routes include:
Death Valley: Watching the sunset at Zabriskie Point, driving through the colors of Artist's Drive, and stargazing on the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes.
Badwater Basin: Walking out onto the famous salt flats to photograph the stars reflecting over the geometric salt patterns.
The Mojave Desert: Photographing the Milky Way with ancient Joshua Trees silhouetted against the night sky.
If you want to go further, we can easily extend these into multi-day road trips through Utah, Arizona, or other parts of the American West.
International Expeditions (Worldwide)
If you want to cross a major bucket-list destination off your list, we can take our expertise worldwide. We will coordinate with our trusted local partners, secure comfortable accommodations, and travel with you to keep things safe and stress-free.
Whether we are sailing down the Nile on a 5-star cruise or glamping in the middle of a remote desert, we make sure you get a premium experience without the typical travel friction.
What’s Included in a Private Tour
We want our private trips to feel easy and premium from start to finish. Here is what we include:
Private Transportation & VIP Arrival: You’ll travel in comfortable, private vehicles.
Stargazing & Photography Coaching: You'll get hands-on, 1-on-1 help from Abdul. We will walk you through the exact settings to capture your experience, whether you are using a professional mirrorless camera or just your smartphone.
Great Food & Comfortable Stays: No matter how remote we get, we prioritize your comfort. On local trips, we pack fresh sandwich dinners, plenty of snacks, and cold drinks. On longer trips, we handpick beautiful hotels, luxury glamping tents, or deluxe boats, and make sure all meals are tailored to your dietary needs.
All Permits & Fees: We handle all national park entry fees, commercial permits, and local taxes so you never have to pull out your wallet on the tour.
