Renee_S, Oct 2026

You will not be disappointed!!!

This was an amazing experience. For those of you who may be afraid of heights, you have nothing to fear. You will be in awe of the beautiful scenery while feeling totally secure. I was amazed how RELAXING it was floating in the air. It was almost meditative. We had BILL as our captain and guide. He has is the BEST! He also is humorous with really good (dad) jokes!!! lol

Explore Palm Springs Celebrity Homes in Style

Pam_T, Oct 2026

Great celeb architecture tour

Hands down, one of the BEST things we’ve done on our trip to Palm Springs! Peter (Gloria’s husband) was phenomenal and his knowledge of the homes and the stars was amazing! The golf cart was fun to get around on and they provided water, fans & a cute parting gift. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Joshua Tree Open Air Hummer Adventure

Stephanie_L, Oct 2026

We took the hummer tour...

We took the hummer tour from the Yucca valley welcome centre. Denise was such a personality, a great story teller and tour guide! The ride was very windy and bumpy (fun!). We made 3 stops in the park, focusing on the north/west side. Two stops were a short walk and view and one was a 0.4 mile easy trail, for all of which Denise covered history, geography, and plants and animals. The tour is a brief overview, rather than a complete deep dive. It does not cover the entire park (it’s so huge), so we had to drive back in and see a few more of the key sites that were not covered by the tour.

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Kelly_F, Oct 2026

Sea Cave Kayak adventure was great!

Our guides, Chance and Mason were excellent. They made sure everyone knew how to safely enter and exit the waves and the caves, while also having a lot of fun. They were also very knowledgeable about the area and the ecology. Would definitely recommend the activity.

Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Scenic Cruise

Jennifer_E, Oct 2026

Scenery Gorgeous

The scenery was gorgeous and made this worth the money! Loved the history and information shared throughout also. We had two adults and two 13-year olds and took advantage of the food choices (we had chicken nachos and a burger). Food was good and the bartender was very personable and kept the line moving. Really enjoyed ourselves and the time on boat was just right (a little over 2 hours).

Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Tour

John_W, Oct 2026

Denise was a wonderful...

Denise was a wonderful guide ! She was friendly and knowledgeable. We got to hike and walk a couple of trail. She showed us many of the highlights. The rock formations that looked like a Cap, Stonehenge and a Chaise lounger as well as many others. We saw what is believed to be the tallest Joshua Tree at the National Park . She explained the flora and how resilient the trees are . She had cold water and snacks available for us . It was a worthwhile tour and I would recommend it !

Monterey Whale Watching Tour

Shayne_C, Oct 2026

Great tour!

An absolute 10/10 ocean adventure! We took the 6:30 PM evening tour and were blown away. The golden-hour light over the bay was stunning, and the marine life did not disappoint—we saw humpback whales breaching and tail-slapping along with massive groups of sea lions. The naturalists on board were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and kept everyone informed throughout the trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the California coast!

Wine Country Join-in Flight

David_G, Oct 2026

Perfect start to finish....

Perfect start to finish. Friendly and efficient registration and pre-flight. Our pilot Matteo was so informative and funny. The flight itself lifted off just as the sun rose and kept getting better: amazing views and narration. Smooth landing; professional ground crew. Absolutely worth the investment.
