Joshua Tree National Park is like a fortress. When you are outside of it and looking at it, all you see are mountains. Created by the collision of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, these mountains have a terrific variety of human history, plant and animal communities, micro-climates, and geologic processes. We'll travel roads both paved and dirt, on and off trails, and over rocks to understand the deeper contexts of this National Park. Our guides have chosen this work to stay close to what they love, a vast landscape that exists whether rain comes or not. We are education-forward and adventure-conscious. We feel that sharing what we have learned about the Mojave and Colorado Deserts is our life's work. Come wander with us.

Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Admission Ticket

Judith_S, Oct 2026

Aerial Tramway

The tramway was a smooth ascent and the scenery was beautiful along the way. Breathtaking! The accommodations at the top were excellent. We ate at the Peaks restaurant and it was so good. The hiking trails were very manageable for this senior and I loved every minute of it.

Joshua Tree National Park Scenic Tour

Tremendous day-not to be missed!

Austin did a great job of providing us with information about the area including a lot of fun side stories. The park is amazing and the scenery is spectacular. We seemed to hit the ‘hot spots’ in the park very efficiently. We went mid-October and there were no crowds which made the day perfect!

We had an amazing tour of Joshua Tree! Our guide, Tom was phenomenal, super knowledgeable and made the whole trip unforgettable! Taking this incredible tour, gave us an insiders view of the park that we never would have seen on our own. Shout out to Tom! Thank you for making our day the best!

Explore Palm Springs Celebrity Homes in Style

Debbie_J, Oct 2026

Knowledgeable host w/great sense of humor.

Touring in the golf car was the perfect way to see the beautiful Las Palmas neighborhood where most things celebrity used to happen. The golf cart holds 5 people + guide, perfect to get your questions answered & hop out for additional looks/pictiures. Colin was extremely knowledgeable & it was obvious he had done his homework before sharing stories & experiences w/us. He’s attended multiple events, open houses, etc to provide detailed knowledge of most homes & areas. Thought the tour may have been a “star-struck” experience but it was truly interesting and informative. Once our whole party arrived, we left, giving us some extra time & Colin actually had extra to share so we went slightly over our end time as well, everyone was thrilled. Plenty of time to hop off and take pics w/out being intrusive to current owners of properties. Truly an enjoyable experience, discussing history, architecture & celebs.

Professional Stargazing Tour in Joshua Tree

Heather_H, Oct 2026

Incredible Experience for All Ages

I cannot recommend this experience enough. We had a group of 9 total with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 8-12. We all absolutely loved it. We had fun and we learned a lot. They pointed out many constellations, showed us several amazing sights through telescopes, including Saturn, the moon, and galaxies. They answered all of our questions, and the kids also had a great time and learned a lot. Cannot recommend enough!

Joshua Tree National Park Private Sightseeing Adventure Tour

Stacie_P, Oct 2026

Book it!!!

Just book this trip!! It started off with being picked up at our resort, and we didn’t have to think about anything else except enjoying the experience and the beautiful park. Spencer was just the best guide. He was so knowledgeable and tailored our trip just for our group. It was clear that he loves the park and sharing it with others. I am looking forward to booking again in the Spring.

Joshua Tree National Park Offroad Tour

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.

Entertaining and Informative

Highly entertaining, informative and even historical information regarding the Palm Springs in general. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to know what celebrities own or owned homes in the PS and why. The culture of PS, and some of the reasons PS is so widely popular. In general its a great tour.

A Great Experience!

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.
