Additional Information

My XO Adventures believes The Badlands can be a wonderful experience for your senses, and there are a lot of stories to be told about the park. It’s also abundant with wildlife, but you’ve got 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…

Baddest Badlands Tour in the History of Ever! Shout out to Kelly (and Amy)! - We have been on several tours while traveling out West and I guess I thought the Badlands would be boring. Was I ever wrong! Kelly, our guide, was absolutely the best. We learned so much and it made us want to learn more when we returned home. Also, she was very understanding of my husband's speed, etc and helped us get him in and out at all stops. We had already booked a tour for the next day with another company and it was too late cancel or we would have 100% changed to XO. The Hanson's

Outstanding Experience - Our first day in South Dakota we took the Badlands Tour with Daniel. It did not disappoint. Daniel was super accommodating and worked around our request to do the missel control room experience. Daniel took us everywhere we never imagined existed. His knowledge of all aspects of the Badlands was incredible. The Badlands tour was a perfect way to experience the best of South Dakota. Daniel's unparalled knowledge of the back roads, the animals, flowers and Lakota people made us want to learn even more. Daniel helped us love the Badlands and we wish to return. We actually booked 2 tours with MyXO Adventures and would do it again in a heartbeat. My XO Adventure is the tour company I highly recommend.

Excellent, flexible,and informative. - The views were incredible, and the tour guides were polite, flexible and informative. They asked me for my input on the tours. I used them for two different tours and had two different guides. They were both excellent. Perfect days. I would definitely use XO again.

Definitely go! - Kudos to Daniel! No trip to the area of Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse would be complete without a day in the Badlands and many tour companies do not offer it. As "city slickers", we did not know how much we would be interested but we decided to book a day tour with Daniel. He has the great talent of having you see the area through his lens and how much there is to appreciate. From the first stop in this cool ghost town to the extraordinary topography, wildlife and tales of the area, he showed and told us all. It seemed that each excursion for him was unique and that he too was learning. He took fabulous photos throughout the day which he texted to us that night. We especially enjoyed Wall Drug and even had a delicious lunch there with 5 cent coffee! Don't let anyone tell you that this is a hoaky tourist trip. It is fun and exciting and a great lesson in business marketing and success. Since we had a private tour, Daniel catered the time to our needs. We had a great day Na I highly recommend this trip.

Like nothing you have ever seen! - Love the SD badlands… so many views to see! Wall Drug is touristy but has free water & ice when you need a break from the temperature in the badlands… and fun to grab some souvenirs!

Unreliable, not trustworthy! - The driver never showed. No phone call ,no email, no text. Flew in from 3 different states for a family event. Do not use this company, unreliable! Hopefully we’ll get out money back.
