Owner is very nice and cooperative. Regrettably the younger members of our group could not continue. Owner, without prompting, refunded our total cost. That, is what a great business owner does. Thanks again.

It was unfortunate that we weren't able to share the trails and views with you - let us know when you're back in town and we'll prepare a special trip just for you!

I have always loved adventure and nature exploration. I’ve done a few 4x4 exploration with friends (none behind the wheels). This was the best thing we did as a family in San Diego. The whole family including kids (3,5,10) loved it. The view you catch from the trials are amazing. Jeremy is very experienced in gauging the comfort level of the driver and paces accordingly. I loved the rig (2001 grand Cherokee with a modest left and great tires). We will definitely be visiting back.

We had an incredible experience. I was looking for some activities on a trip to San Diego. Most things were shut down due to COVID but the 4x4 experience was still open. What I thought might just be a day killer, turned into one of the coolest things I’ve done. Our guide, Jeremy, showed us all the best spots in the desert and we were able to cut loose in his Jeep. He also guided us through a cave and a mountain hike. It was my brother-in-law, me, and our 3 kids (6,9,11) and a great time was had by all.

So glad you guys had a great time! Super fun on the go-fast section of desert and getting to follow your dust cloud. Hope to see you again when you visit, maybe take the mountain trail next time.
