What To Expect

Coachella Valley Preserve

Here your adventure makes it's first stop at the 3rd largest Oasis in the world. Here you will walk over a bridge that straddles the actual faultline. 30 minutes are spent here where there is about a half mile trail you can optionally take with your guide. Restrooms are also located here before we venture far into the wilderness.

San Andreas Fault

We travel by Hummer into the mouth of a canyon that was formed by the San Andreas Fault. Here the adventure in your Hummer begins and we follow a road many Jeeps will need to return. 1.5 billion year old rocks are in this canyon that date back to the bottom of the Grand Canyon! The scenery is mind-bending as you see the tortured rock formations beneath the cobalt blue skies of the high desert.

Cancellation Policy

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

My kids and I went on this tour a couple of weeks ago. Our guide was Don. He was extremely knowledgable, interesting, and passionate about what he was showing us. We learned so much about the history of the landscape and we had a blast! I highly recommend this tour while in Palm Springs. My kids said it was the BEST thing we did when we were on vacation- and we did a lot of cool things. We had such a great time!

I think they go too far into the fault , no phone lines available if ever there is a problem with the vehicle or a tremble ! There are other faults easier to visit.

All of our vehicles come equipped with GPS locaters and emergency responses. Should there ever be a major problem, help is on the way with the push of a button by your driver. We even have prepaid for helicopter support if that is ever necessary. But, in the 10 years and 100,000 plus guests that have taken our tours, we have not had 1 single injury. Don't worry - safety is on our side!
