All Palm Springs Tours & Excursions in 2026

Riding the tram way a fun experience on its own. The beautiful trails at the top of the mountain was lovely. The snack bar was just what the doctor ordered after walking through the trails. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers. It was 96 degrees at the bottom but only 60 degrees at the top!

Jason, our tour guide was top notch. He knew lot about the history of Joshua Tree National Park. He let us tailor our tour according to our needs. I have some mobility issues and problems with intense heat. I hiked alittle and went back into the air conditioned van. Palm Springs had record highs that week. He made the tour comfortable and Fun!

We greatly enjoyed the Open Air Hummer Adventure with our guide Bob. The tour was the best combination of fun and education. Bob is an excellent storyteller and a natural teacher. We learned about the geology and botany of this unique and gorgeous desert landscape during several interesting stops, and riding in the military jeep was a great fun.. Bob did a fabulous job of engaging all of our traveling companions, including two young teens. We highly recommend this hummer open air tour.

The three hours were tremendously fun. Donnie and Kathy did a great job. Nice mix of fun and information/education. Even though the temperature in March was 100degrees they did a great job adapting to the weather. There were many small kindness that the hosts provided. Don’t miss this. It was well worth it.

This tour was an excellent introduction to Joshua Tree National Park. Our tour guide Austin was very knowledgable and friendly. Stopping at very scenic places for photos and quick walks around, for someone like me who had never been to the park, it was a great experience (without the hassle of navigating the roads myself). We had excellent weather and views are amazing! Definitely worth the time and cost!

Our experience at Covered Wagon Tours exceeded all of our expectations. The wagon tour itself is about an hour long, and it is very informative about nature and the local animals. We most enjoyed the atmosphere and entertainment in the main area. There is also axe throwing, horseshoe, cornhole, and Jenga to enjoy before and after the wagon segment itself. All the staff members were extremely friendly and eager help us if we needed anything. I don’t remember everyone’s names, but Paul and Robin stuck out, as well as the owner because they were exceptionally friendly and engaging with us. The experience came with a barbecue dinner, dessert, and marshmallows that you can roast on the open campfire. Also available is unlimited lemonade, iced tea, and little water bottles. We saw many groups bringing their own alcohol with them, which is encouraged. What we enjoyed most was the live music and dancing. They teach a few different line dances and even do a barn dance with everyone. We came with two young children ages three and five, and they had a blast. Although the experience is expensive, it is worth every penny. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Palm Springs area.

I bring all my guests!! Everyone loves it!! The tour is wonderful ❤️!! I’ve even brought a fairly conservative friend. She was a bit hesitant but left hugging our “Queen” and telling everyone what fun it was! At dinner she was showing everyone her pictures.

We have been to Palm Desert many times, but never tried this tour before. Since we had friends visiting we signed up & I’m so glad we did. It was fantastic. Marv is an amazing guide- very knowledgeable and so good about taking photos for us & answering questions. We were really fortunate to have spent the morning with him! I would highly recommend this experience.
