South Dakota Destination guide

As the world leader in travel experiences since 1947, we connect you to the real South Dakota in a way like no other.
We’ll take you on a journey to ‘the middle of the map’, where vast golden prairies give way to an explosion of nature. From the granite spires and pine forests of the Black Hills, to the mesmerising buttes and canyons of the Badlands, South Dakota is utterly enchanting. But the wonders don’t stop at Mother Nature. When you travel South Dakota with Trafalgar, we’ll take you to the icons, like Mount Rushmore with its four legendary faces etched into the granite peak, and the Crazy Horse Memorial, another mountain carved masterpiece of the revered Lakota war chief. Our South Dakota trips take you to the soul of the state, and you’ll have the chance to learn about Native American culture from tribesmen Stephen Yellowhawk, witness a traditional Black Hills Pow Wow, watch the magical Mount Rushmore lighting ceremony, and even swing by Wall Drug, the country’s most famous roadside stop. 
Travel with us and unlock the infinite possibilities thanks to our exclusive Trafalgar Highlights.
