What To Expect

Joshua Tree National Park

Our shuttle van will take you to the city of Joshua Tree where we trade for our H-1 Military Hummer to complete your adventure. We climb to the top of a breathtaking overlook called Eureka Peak that will give you a stunning view of the valley below and a view that stretches all the way to Mexico.

Big Morongo Canyon Preserve

Nestled among the Little San Bernardino Mountains in the Sand to Snow National Monument, the desert oasis at Big Morongo Canyon is one of the 10 largest cottonwood and willow riparian habitats in California. The upstream end of the canyon lies in the Mojave Desert, while its downstream portion opens into the Colorado Desert. There are numerous trails to walk and hike, including a wheelchair-accessible boardwalk through the marsh and riparian habitats. At 31,000 acres with elevations ranging from 600 feet on the canyon floor to 3000 feet at the top of the ridge, this diverse landscape has been an important part of the Morongo Basin’s natural and cultural history for almost two billion years.

First of all we only booked 24 hours in advance and managed to get a place on the sunset tour which we were thrilled about!!! We were picked up 2:30pm prompt in what we thought was the hummer (later to discover this wasn’t the real hummer) Jeff was our driver and tour guide, and what a guy he was!! Amazing!! His knowledge was incredible so was his driving, tour and I have to say he gave my mum and I one of the best days of our life!!! I’m not over exaggerating (I’m British we don’t do that. Ever) it was the best tour I have ever been on. I was so emotional (we’re British we don’t get emotional) at the end of the tour as the sun was setting over the beautiful desert as Jeff put on some beautiful music to set the scene. We changed into the “real” hummer after around half an hour. Oh boy it was amazing!! Real bumpy on the back roads but that’s what made it such fun!! We saw the San Andreas fault line (learned that the film with the Rock was completely impossible and couldn’t really happen) we saw all the windmills, Jeff told us all about them and answered all our questions. We then went to the Joshua national park oh my this was the best part!!! Jeffs knowledge was brilliant he took us to all the best parts, he stopped and helped us with photo taking and helping us walk up and down the rocks hills he was just brilliant. I have so many photos to treasure (even though they don’t do justice to the actual scenery). I cannot reccomend this tour enough. Myself and my mum were with 3 other ladies who were lovely and we all had so much fun and learned so much. Honesty worth every single penny. Jeff was so knowledgable, makes you feel so relaxed and made sure we got the best tour for our money. I cannot put into words how good this tour was. If I could give more stars I would because 5 stars doesn’t do it justice. Thank you for giving my mum and I one of the best times of our lives we loved every single second.

We booked our tour from Palm Desert to Joshua Tree and our driver was super courteous and informative. It was my partners birthday and he really enjoyed the adventure. Neither of us had done the tour despite living in the valley. I definitely recommend it. We took the tour in June and it was not too hot at all.

We made our first visit to Joshua Tree National Park this past summer. My daughter and I signed up for the Joshua Tree Adventure Tour offered by Adventure Hummer Tours. We had a great time. Josh, our driver, is a local and he was just wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. It was like hopping into the back seat of a good friend’s really cool Hummer and going off roading thru the park. You get to travel the backroads and see things you would never otherwise see if you were just driving the paved roads. We went on an evening with a full moon and it was just beautiful! Highly recommend Adventure Hummer Tours. It’s the best way to experience the park. Josh-thank you! :)
