Dimple, Oct 2026

Highly recommend

On another blistering hot Palm Springs morning, Colin was prepared to keep us as cool as possible. He had water bottles, fans - electric and handheld, and misters. And yet, his knowledge and history exceeded his thoughtfulness! The tour was fantastic. He covered so much ground, gave detailed information that I’d doubt you’d get from anyone else. I highly recommend this tour and thank Colin for being so wonderful.

Spiritual Experience Under the Full Moon

Kay and her husband were quite the team, creating such a peaceful and meaningful experience while managing such a large group of us.

Amazing and super informative tour!!

Absolutely LOVED this experience!! Matt and Amanda were fabulous hosts. We had a perfect night. Even though it was over 100 degrees during the day, I am very glad that I still wore jeans and brought a sweater. The photos turned out amazing! It was a little pricey, but truly worth every penny and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Admission Ticket

Harvey_Z, Aug 2026

What a difference

Check with the predicted temperature on top whether a jacket would be necessary. I was on the tram 30 years ago. It was 120 in PS but it was 60 degrees on top. This time it was in the 70’s and the jackets we brought weren’t necessary. I was disappointed in the lack of cold. The Tram was amazing compared to our first experience….

Gorgeous landscapes & Informative guide.

RON, our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the Palm Springs area, the valley, geology and fauna. The drive to Joshua Tree was engaging conversation and informative. Inside the park, Ron took us to areas we would not have known to go if we visited on our own. He explained the medicinal value of plants that grow in the. We heard 'folklore' and the history of Jushua Tree. Highly recommend for a first visit.

Great half-day overview of the park!

Planned a quick stay in Palm Springs with my spouse and teen and wanted an easy way to see Joshua Tree National Park. Our guide, Jason picked us up at our condo at 9 and took us to the park. There was a good mix of seeing sites while riding and getting out and walking around. Great photo ops along the way. We returned around 2. Highly recommend this option if you want to see the park but not spend time and effort researching and driving.
