Took the half day tour led by Captain Ron. He was a walking and driving encyclopedia of knowledge about plant species, Native American culture, the geology that formed the region, the forces that underlie the power of earthquakes, the movement of the tectonic plates, etc. We also drove near, albeit not close enough, to the Salton Sea and ended the tour in Mecca at the Oasis Date Farm and enjoyed date shakes. Captain Ron, was engaging, interesting, thoughtful and helpful in every way. Ask for him when you take this tour!

Thank you! I can't say any more nice things about Ron than my customers have already said.

Cody was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He was knowledgeable and friendly, and he made the trip so much fun! The views were breathtaking, I’m so glad we did this tour!

Isabel, our tour guide and jeep driver covered a lot of ground in one morning, taking us to a half dozen places where we could look around. We learned how fault slips help enable oases, saw the severely distorted rock around the fault, explored several box canyons including Painted Canyon, four-wheeled through the desert wilderness, and sampled date ice cream. Isabel knew her stuff and did a great job simultaneously driving and educating us! I strongly recommend this Big Wheel Tours jeep trip!
