Full description

My XO Adventures believes the Badlands can be a wonderful experience for your senses, and there are many stories to be told about the park. It's also abundant in wildlife, but you have to know where to go.  
We have walked, crawled, climbed, and taken the back roads through the park to find places we know you'll love. This is not a strenuous journey and is suited for all ages. We encourage you to check out our Google Reviews for My XO Adventures online to see what kind of experience you can expect when you join us.  We take care of the details and may even have some surprises for you along the way.

Every day is different, and we love what we do. We explore the Badlands, not just tour them. Discover the history, wildlife, fossils, geological formations, and sacred sites. Commonly missed and extraordinary places are where we go.

Our small group of 4, toured Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse and Devils Tower recently with Daniel which was absolutely fabulous. Daniel's genuine respect for the people in this area, together with a deep knowledge of its history makes for a one of a kind tour. We also toured Badlands with Dan (#2) and it was a wonderful journey of geological discovery. His knowledge and love for the land was obvious and we had a great introduction to this magnificent territory. A memorable holiday and we highly recommend My XO Adventures!

My XO Adventures was 5 star from start to finish. Amiee was so helpful and knowledgeable about everything. She gave us many recommendations outside of our 3 day tour. She contacted us just prior to our trip and when we arrived which were both appreciated. Daniel was an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and extremely enthusiastic about everything on our tour. He really made our 3 Day Adventure very special with lasting memories. They offered their assistance at anytime during our trip. We would definitely use them again!
