5 - Safaris in Rapid City
We absolutely love spending time in the Badlands. Our guides are highly trained and enjoy sharing the geological, cultural, and wildlife highlights along the way. This is not a repeated script of the Badlands, but more of a testimony of the guides as to how they feel and think about the sacred land. This tour is exclusive to your group, meaning no others will be joining. You have the guide and the vehicle all to yourself.

6 - Archaeology Tours in Rapid City
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 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'll enjoy by coming along with 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. Learn about the history, wildlife, fossils, geological shapes, and sacred places. Commonly missed and extraordinary places are where we go.
