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.

Our guide Don was fun, knowledgeable, and knew the area. Took us on some great short hikes. We did the afternoon tour, and he made sure we saw the sunset. He selected a good restaurant for our dinner. But I think the hummer is loud, and not all the comfortable. Also we all thought it was pretty pricey. And we really didn't get off road which would have been fun. so if you want off road check out another tour.

Sorry but unable to write a review on the experience as it never happened. I had booked online the first time, confirmed and then was informed that they had doubled booked same again second time and then the night before I get phone call cancelling entirely due to supposed driver sickness. Hard to recommend an experience you never actually got to go on, ended driving ourselves for the day, extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience !

We regret you made such a poor review of a tour you never actually did. Our guide Don fell ill with the flu and was not able to perform this tour. I'm sure you would not expect a sick guide to be required to join you. We would hate to share his flu.

We are so glad that we chose this excursion while in Palm Springs. Joshua Tree National Park is an amazing place to visit. Our guide, Bruce, was outstanding! His knowledge about the geology, biology, and history of the area was impressive. His style was both relaxed and engaging. He never rushed us and made sure I got all the pictures I wanted (which was a lot). I would highly recommend the H2 tour if you want a little more comfort.
