What To Expect

Joshua Tree National Park

We provide you an informative and entertaining tour of Joshua Tree with one of our professional geology guides. We will take some roads where a 4x4 is required where few people will ever see. We also take you to the most photographed places in the park and take a walk in an area where you can find Indian cave drawings and even an old dam left by cowboys long past.

Cap Rock Trail

Explore with your guide enormous rock formations exposed at the Earths surface that were produced by the very forces of the San Andreas Fault miles beneath. Here rocks seem to precariously balance upon one another in a fight between gravity and subterranean forces. A 30 minute optional guided walk is made here.

Intersection Rock

This iconic rock formation is one of the most popular places in the park for rock climbers. Gawk at the climbers as they challenge the perils of the 3rd dimension.

Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Guide was good and provided interesting facts about the park, the trees, the amazing rock formations, and the view. But was disappointed that this tour was advertised as a hummer tour, but we only had a van, that was loud and bumpy. Don’t advertise it as a hummer tour if a hummer is not the vehicle to be used.

Had a beautiful day to take in the Joshua Tree National Park. Our tour guide (Bob) did a great job of informing us of the history and specialties of the park. We enjoyed incredible views and got to wander many trails. A great time was had by all!

We scheduled and paid for the Joshua Tree Enclosed Hummer tour, even paying extra to be picked up at our hotel. We called the day before to confirm and were told everything was all set. The day of our tour, 30 minutes before we were schedule to be picked up, we received a call that our tour was cancelled and could be rescheduled for the following day (we unfortunately were returning home then). While we were disappointed that we weren’t able to do the tour, we understand last minute things pop up and happen sometimes. We were told our card would be refunded the entire amount for the tours within 2 business days (almost $600 total). 13 days later and we have still not received a refund. Calls and emails to this business have gone unanswered as well.

We are sorry you never did your tour and are confused why you are making a review regarding a tour you did not do. A message was sent to you the prior day which you did not receive. The refund was requested of TripAdvisor that very day. Patience is often necessary to have refunds clear. But, be assured, your refund is coming.
