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.

Jeff was our guide! He was so knowledgeable about the whole area, we learned so much. We went to the San Andreas fault first and then to Frontier Coffee to board the hummer. We had great tunes to drive thru the desert, amazing photo opportunities and the scenery was just incredible. DON'T book this tour thru VIATOR, they were awful! Book directly through Adventure Hummer Tours! You will be so glad to experience this opportunity with Jeff!

We had a great guide, enjoyed the sight, heard some interesting stories and history, and the music added a lot to our adventure! Very glad there were blankets in the vehicle or I would have been miserably cold - should have brought a hat and gloves - but definitely would recommend this tour and already have told my daughter she needs to try it out sometime!

I'm not sure how to rate this tour simply because of how expensive this is. I am being completely honest because I value the TripAdvisor reviews heavily when making my travel decisions and chose this tour because of the glowing reviews on this site. We are a family of 5 (with 3 teens ages 17, 14, 12) and I wanted to surprise them with this awesome trip. First of all, it ended up being a cold day (58 degrees in Palm Desert), so it was hard to enjoy the open hummer ride (which was not their fault). However, the tour started in a regular van for a 20 minute drive to the Thousand Palms Oasis/San Andreas Fault, and then a 45 minute drive to the Frontier Cafe in Yucca Valley. The driver was full of knowledge and great to listen to. We were picked up by the open air hummer at the Frontier Cafe and driven into the Joshua Tree National Park. It was freezing in that hummer (35 degrees in the park), even though there were blankets and jackets stuffed under the seats for the guests! We were in the park for maybe an hour, with a quick stop off and we were so miserable and dreading the drive back to the cafe. I wanted to cry. We went back to the Frontier Cafe where we got hot chocolate to warm up. We switched to the van for the ride back to Palm Desert. I can't give this tour a great review only because of the price. It was a STEEP $700 for my family of 5. Ouch. I knew ahead of time what the cost was, but honestly was under the impression that we were in the hummer for the 4 hours, and that we were going to an area that the "public wasn't allowed". It turns out that we could have driven ourselves to the Thousand Palms Oasis, Yucca Valley AND driven in the Joshua Tree National Park in our minivan and enjoyed it all for free and been warm and on our own timetable. Yes the hummer was neat but it was too cold to enjoy that part (which again, was not their fault). I would have loved the experience for alot less money, but the $700 just made me angry in the end. We went to DisneyLand the next day for 12 hours and only spent $500. The people are great, the price is too high.
