Great day with Tom!

We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring the Joshua Tree with Tom! He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about the geology, flora and animals of the park and was happy to share his knowledge and answer all our questions. We explored some trails and took some great photos and learned some tales about the history of the area.

We had a great time...

We had a great time stargazing! My son (12 years old) was super engaged and learned so much from the guides. The location is super secluded so it allows for dark sky for excellent viewing. Lots of celestial and planetary information. And the send you pictures of what you saw in the telescopes and picture of your group. A nice added bonus.

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 !

Joshua Tree National Park Private Sightseeing Adventure Tour

The BEST way to see Joshua Tree

I highly recommend the private Joshua Tree tour. I had the pleasure of enjoying my day with Spencer. Although the tour was supposed to begin at 9:00 AM, I asked if we could start earlier as I was attending a conference. He was happy to accommodate my request. We had a pleasant drive from Palm Springs to Joshua Tree in a very clean van equipped with water and granola bars. During the safe drive, Spencer discussed the history, terrain and plants along the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and open to all of my of my questions. I can tell that he reads a lot and finds interest in many things, which makes for an EXCELLENT guide. Upon arrival at the park, I paid my national park entrance fee and off we went. Our first stop allowed for some rock scrambling, which I really enjoyed. I am an avid hiker, but had never done this before, so I truly appreciated his patience and the chance to try something new. Throughout the day, we made several stops at interesting vantage points and completed some small loop hikes of about 1 mile. This was my first time in a US desert, and Spencer made it a memorable experience. This tour company can customize the experience for your specific group needs and abilities. This is the BEST way to see the park, as you have someone else doing all the driving while you look around and enjoy this unique scenery.

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….

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.
