Amazing experience!

We did a sunrise tour in April of 2026 with Chandler. This was one of the highlights of our trip through Arizona and Utah. Being in Monument Valley at sunrise was amazing. Chandler made sure we got several great pictures and saw some amazing sites. A great value and experience!

Don't Miss This Opportunity!

We rode with Tribal Tours for our Sunrise Tour of Monument Valley and the experience couldn't have been better. Our guide, Jameson, not only discussed the different rock formations, but talked about the significance of Monument Valley in his Native American culture. He also presented us with amazing flute melodies. The highlight of our tour was probably what we learned from Jameson as he described various aspects of growing up in a very family oriented Navajo culture. Would highly recommend the Tribal Tours company for your Sunrise Tour of Monument Valley.

Fun time

How you can drive your own car through Monument Valley taking a tour is so much more. You’ll go on trails that are not open and need four-wheel-drive. The guides are wonderful.

Monument Valley Sunrise Tour w/ Jameson

An absolutely incredible experience, not only was our tour guide Jameson friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, he was our personal photographer and multi instrument musician. We arrived pre dawn, stayed for the sunrise, and then were honored to have 3 different songs played for us, each one more beautiful than the next. Jameson and his tour were truly the highlight of my families cross country roadtrip! We will absolutely never forget it!
