San Andreas Fault Jeep Tour vanuit Palm Desert
Beschrijving
Alleen Red Jeep Tours kunnen je naar Metate Ranch brengen, gelegen in het hart van de San Andreas Fault Zone. Tijdens deze ontzagwekkende OPEN-AIR Jeep Tour reis je diep in het hart van de wereldberoemde San Andreas-breuk in Californië en zie je de natuurkrachten die verbazingwekkende, steile wanden en de meest verwrongen en gekwelde landschappen op aarde hebben gecreëerd ! Je zult versteld staan van het spectaculaire landschap terwijl je jeep zich een weg baant door de botten van de aarde. Tijdens je avontuur stop je meerdere keren voor korte natuurwandelingen, indien gewenst ook een korte wandeling door een slotkloof. Deze tour stopt ook bij een natuurlijke palmoase, waar het hele jaar door water uit de grond borrelt. Hier leer je hoe de Cahuilla-indianen woestijnplanten gebruikten om te overleven in deze onherbergzame omgeving. Een laatste hoogtepunt is een rondleiding door ons nagebouwde Cahuilla Indian Village dat de levensstijl en cultuur van de Cahuilla-bevolking laat zien.

Great experience. Our guide Teresa was outstanding. Having informed her beforehand that we did not speak English, she provided us with copies of what she would say in Italian. She was truly kind and considerate. Moreover, she managed to engage and convey her energy to the entire group.
Our guide was fantastic, Teresa. She was knowledgeable and fun. We learned so much and had a great time. My 15 yo grandson loved it as well.
Darrell our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. It was a fun and informative morning. Plenty of great picture opportunities. We really enjoyed it and recommend it!!!
Darrell really does make every morning out there a great one! Love hearing you had such a fun and informative time, and that the photo ops delivered too. Thanks for the recommendation! 🏜️
Great experience! Mike was great. So knowledgeable and Such a wonderful attitude about life! We had a blast!!!
Chris was a knowledge, friendly, and wonderful tour guide. Was traveling with friends and we talked about the information he gave us for days. This was a highlight of our visit to Palm Desert.
Still talking about it days later, that's the best kind of review, David! So happy Chris made it such a highlight of your trip. Hope to see you and your friends back! 🌄
We had an unforeseen circumstance push our schedule slightly back and we would have been 15 minutes late for the tour. The tour operators refused to wait for us. We even called and let them know about our small delay. They offered to reschedule us to the following day, which we agreed upon and booked. Then they called us back later and said they would not be able to accommodate us the following day anymore and they refused to refund us the money or give us a rain check for another day.
We are sorry that this guest missed their tour, but we do feel it is important to clarify what occurred. The guests contacted our office at approximately 12:45 PM to advise that they were just leaving the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and would arrive approximately 15–20 minutes late for their 1:00 PM tour. The Tramway is located roughly 45–60 minutes from our departure location depending on traffic conditions. Because this was a shared group tour with other guests already checked in and ready to depart, we explained that our policy is to wait a maximum of 10 minutes for late arrivals. Guests are also asked to arrive 5–10 minutes prior to departure for check-in so that tours can leave on time and all guests receive the full experience they booked. While we understand that delays can happen, we also have a responsibility to the other guests on the tour. Asking an entire group to remain waiting in extreme desert heat for an extended period of time would not have been fair to them. As a courtesy, we attempted to accommodate the guests by offering to move them to another tour the following day if space allowed. Initially, we explored an afternoon option, but due to an active heat wave with temperatures approaching 110°, we ultimately determined that we would not be operating additional afternoon departures for safety reasons. We then offered available morning departures at 8:00 AM or 10:00 AM instead. Unfortunately, the alternative morning times did not work with the guests’ schedule, so we were unable to find another mutually workable option. We always try to assist guests whenever possible, and had this been a private tour, we likely could have waited longer. However, on a shared scheduled departure, we must balance the needs and experience of all guests involved. We believe our team handled the situation professionally, communicated clearly, and made reasonable efforts to provide an alternative solution within the constraints of tour availability and extreme weather conditions.
Super fun- we learned so much from our guide (Gary) about the Cahuilla tribe, geology of the San Andreas fault, fauna, etc. Enjoyed squeezing through the slot canyons. Highly recommended tour!
The slot canyons are always a highlight! Sounds like Gary made it a really rich experience, Lillian: the Cahuilla history, the geology, the fauna… he really does cover it all. Thanks for the recommendation! 🌄
Great experience learning about the Coachella valley and San Andreas Fault. Our guide was very knowledgeable and even I learned some things I didn’t know about the area.
When a local walks away having learned something new, we're doing something right! Sounds like an amazing day out there, Dean. Hope to see you back! 🏜️
I did not go with my family, but my family had a fabulous time on the tour. They truly enjoyed the tour Director and it was a nice experience.
Wonderful to hear the family had such a fabulous time, Connie! Hopefully what you heard convinces you to join them next time! 🌄
Excellent way to spend a morning while in Palm Springs. Learned many things I never knew about the San Andreas Fault as well as the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. Hiked a couple of slot canyons and saw a desert oasis!
That's the beauty of this tour: so much packed into one morning! Slot canyons, a desert oasis and a geology lesson all before lunch. 😄 Hope to see you back, Cynthia! 🌄
