Although I loved Joshua Tree National Park and appreciated all the info our guide provided, I felt as if the tour was rushed. There was no time to roam around on your own and there was only one short hike. The tour is 4.5 hours but you're in the park for an hour or so. Definitely overpriced considering how much time is actually spent in the park.

Hello Alex, sorry to hear that! Yes, it does take about 45 minutes to an hour each way to get to and from the park. The tourists are all here in the Coachella Valley and the entrance to the park is up Highway 62 a ways. So, we do wind up spending about 2.5 to 3 hours in the park on this particular tour and we try to keep it entertaining by giving lots of information on the drive through the Coachella Valley on the way to and from the park.

Bruce was excellent. We had a group of 4. Bruce was very considerate, personable, and was able to answer everyone’s questions. We discussed so many things including wildlife, history, and notable people of the area. Everyone felt part of the group and the conversation was natural and informative. Thanks for everything!
