About this experience
This tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the awe-inspiring presence of Devils Tower, a geological marvel unlike any other. Unlike typical mountain peaks, Devils Tower is a towering butte, possibly formed from a laccolith – a mass of cooled, solidified magma. This means you'll be witnessing a rare formation of igneous rock carved by the relentless forces of nature. Standing a staggering 1,267 feet above the Belle Fourche River, and 867 feet from summit to base, the sheer scale of Devils Tower is breathtaking. You'll be immersed in the rugged beauty of the Bear Lodge Ranger District within the Black Hills, far from the hustle and bustle, near the charming towns of Hulett and Sundance, Wyoming. This tour isn't just about seeing a rock formation; it's about experiencing the power of geological history and the grandeur of the American West.

Excellent Scott were wonderful guides through the Devil Tower He made the day very pleasant

The Devils Tower
Scott was a fabulous guide and a wealth of knowledge about the Lokota and the history of the Civil War. He is a great driver and the Van used a Chrysler Town and country was very comfortable and the air conditioning was great. This vehicle was immaculately clean. We did three tours with Affordable Adventures and this company is way above the bar for the price for each tour we took. Scott provided snacks and water for each tour. The Devils Tower is a must see, just make sure you leave early to avoid waiting to enter the park. We walked around the entire tower and saw two bald eagles upon entering the park and a lot of little prairie dogs too. This was a wonderful tour and we cannot thank Scott (Our Guide , Anne (Owner) and Stephanie for their help in making this unforgettable trip a reality. Folks reading this take this trip just magnificent to see and experience.

Fully customized day tour with Ann
We did a fully customized tour with Ann. Combined items from a couple of tours into one that was perfect for our family. The tour company was so accommodating and flexible…something that other tour companies would NOT do. Devils Tower was incredible. We loved the hike around the base. We had a terrific lunch at 77 Steakhouse and then had some fun touring Deadwood. Lead and Spearfish Canyon were the last stops on our tour of over 275 miles traveled in one day. The views and waterfalls in Spearfish Canyon were a highlight for sure. Ann was SO informative and has strong historical ties to the area. The information she shared with us was the cherry on top! If you have an opportunity to tour with her grab it! She is amazing.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Devil's Tower Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rapid City.
How much does Devil's Tower Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $396 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rapid City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Devil's Tower Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rapid City is not rushed.
Is Devil's Tower Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rapid City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Devil's Tower Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Devil's Tower Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Devil's Tower Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rapid City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rapid City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Devil's Tower Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rapid City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rapid City?
+
Rapid City is the base for Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse tours, Badlands National Park loops, Custer State Park wildlife drives and Black Hills cave visits. On Outty we rank every Rapid City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mount Rushmore and Black Hills Tour with Two Meals and a Music Variety Show, Bus Tour of Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, PREMIER PRIVATE Tour: Mt Rushmore, CrazyHorse & Custer State Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rapid City?
+
May to September, with Sturgis crowding early August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rapid City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
