Best way to see the park! Our guide, Dale, was so knowledgeable and personable and made our afternoon great. He tailored the tour to the extreme heat and our interest level perfectly. Also he gave us some good sourdough baking tips!
Thank you so much!
We had such a great time on our off-road tour of Joshua Tree! Isabel was an amazing guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to spend the day with. She shared so much about the park and the area while taking us to some incredible spots we never would have found on our own. The off-roading made the experience even more memorable and was such a fun way to explore Joshua Tree. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend the tour, and especially Isabel!
Isabel is a terrific professional who takes her job and her customers happiness seriously. We are lucky to have her!
We had a great ride. Jeff was awesome. He knew a lot about Joshua Tree and the surrounding desert areas. We learned about the changes in the ocean floor, the origins of the mountains, history of the rock formations, types of rocks, the fault line, and much more. He was very engaged and accommodating. We appreciated touring with him. Our 11-yr. old enjoyed herself. Good times.
Thank you so much! Jeff is our most experienced guide and a true professional. We hope to see you again!
We had an amazing tour and amazing tour guide. He took us through the south entrance with rugged terrain that most don't get to see because they don't know about it or don't have a high clearance 4x4. His explanation of the history of Palm Spring, Coachella and Joshua Tree was spot on!
Thank you so much!
Highly recommend. Jeff was an excellent guide. He tailored the tour for us and was a great driver. We appreciated being able to tour the park in an air conditioned vehicle. Note that park admission ($15 per person or $30 per vehicle) is not included in the tour price.
Thank you so much!!
Jeff was fanastic! Really enjoyed his knowledge of the whole area and the chance to visit Eureka Peak! Do this!
Thank you Jason! Jurassic Jeff is one of a kind and has taken more guests to Joshua Tree than anyone else. We appreciate it!
RON, our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the Palm Springs area, the valley, geology and fauna. The drive to Joshua Tree was engaging conversation and informative. Inside the park, Ron took us to areas we would not have known to go if we visited on our own. He explained the medicinal value of plants that grow in the. We heard 'folklore' and the history of Jushua Tree. Highly recommend for a first visit.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Ron! Our guides take great pride in bringing the desert to life and I am so happy you enjoyed your tour!
