We experienced a wonderful tour of Joshua NP highlights with our tour guide, Ben. He pointed out everything we came across, and more; was very well versed in the history and vegatation in and around the park, and made sure we stopped at peak points of interest during our trip. Would highly recommend this desert gem.

Fantastic day out in Joshua Tree with our guide Ron! It was my second time visiting this beautiful park but thanks to Ron’s knowledge and passion we discovered way more than we were even hoping for! The pickup was smooth and way to the park very comfortable. Once in the park, we stopped numerous times and never felt rushed while exploring around - lots of time to take amazing pictures and learn about the park’s fauna and flora. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we could see he genuinely enjoyed giving us the tour! Would definitely recommend to everyone - appropriate for all ages and extremely fun! Even if you’re planning to drive around with a rental car (which we didn’t have hence decided to book this) I think it’s worth considering taking this tour. Excellent value for money. Thank you Ron for a lovely day!
