This was an amazing experience!!! Great way to get away from the city and spend some time in nature. Jake was a great tour guide and made sure we enjoyed every minute!! The scenery was beautiful! And the springs were so soothing! We stopped at Mountain Springs Saloon on the way back for a drink. Would definitely recommend!!

The experience from start to finish was great! Our guide Mike was cool, knowledgeable and got us there and back safely. We saw so many stars and shooting ones! We were lucky enough to be out there while the Geminid Meteor Shower. It was cold out cause we went in December but still fun!!

Magical once in a lifetime experience

Chantelle_H, Mar 2026

This is the most amazing experience that everyone should experience. The hot springs are amazing and hot! Mike set us up with chairs, water and towels and ensured we had everything we needed before leaving us to enjoy the springs for as long as we wanted. The area is pitch black so the stars were magical and a once in a lifetime experience for us to all do together. We didn’t know what to expect from this but I highly recommend booking. You will not regret it.

Peaceful and Adventurous

Kathy_B, Feb 2026

Mike was our guide on a trip to the hot springs. We loved the personal attention and the offer to be picked up at our hotel vs. a meet up. That was so nice and appreciated. We learned a lot about this unique area outside of Las Vegas. The trip was comfortable, the hot springs were very warm and Mike took care of everything. Beautiful outdoor adventure. We would definitely recommend this again.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you Kathy for the lovely words Mike and I our both glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves and can't wait to host you guys on another outing. Safe travels and hope to see you again soon!

Great experience!!

Unforgetable

Amanda_A, Dec 2025

Jake (the host) was very energetic, knowledgeable, and personable. He tailors the experience to your personality and expectations. He brings all of the supplies needed to make the experience top notch. The hot springs were beyond our expectations. It was one of our favorite experiences during our Vegas trip and we will remember it fondly for the rest of our lives!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your review. I appreciated sharing our time together and hope to see you again :)

It was a great experience. The view of the sky is amazing and the water wax relaxing. I had a very good time.

Thank you Thomas!

Beautiful and quiet...

Rochelle_L, Aug 2025

Beautiful and quiet location, the sky was perfectly clear, billions of visible stars. The hot springs were very unique as we had never been to one before. The tour guide was absolutely amazing. Flexible in planning the best time to leave to avoid the extreme heat. Very friendly and informative during the long drive and very accommodating knowing we had a senior in the group with some physical limitations. Not many people would have been so willing to help support and even lift another person out of the water. Brought cold water, towels, chairs, pretty lights and music! All in all a very memorable experience! Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful night!

Gillian_B, Jul 2025

It was such a great time under the stars with great people. I would highly recommend the experience for anyone looking for something fun to do in nature. Thanks Jake and Stephany for the fantastic tour!!

Intimate Star Gazing

Stephen_P, May 2025

Jacob was an amazing guide. The moon was a bit too bright to get a full experience of seeing the Milky Way, but we did get to enjoy the hot springs and landscape is a very private experience.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you sir! Safe travels!

Highlight of our anniversary trip!

Amanda_L, Apr 2025

This was the highlight of our anniversary trip! Jake and Stephanie are the perfect duo bring a great balance to each other and the excursion. We felt so safe driving with Stephanie, and the conversation was easy; like catching up with an old friend. The sunset desert views were stunning as we left the city lights behind us. In the dark we made our way to the hot spring but Jake thought of everything! Setting up camp with a lovely spread and seats that were appreciated when we needed a break from the waters heat. The hot spring was the perfect temperature! It was a chilly night, but it made the warm water so much nicer. We got to see the stars and even saw the star link. Jake kept the vibes light and everyone laughing with his quick witted humor and hilarious life stories. We cannot recommend this tour enough, and are already talking about doing this again, when we come back to Vegas.

This was the highlight of our trip. Such a unique experience!

Christopher_C, Mar 2025

This was awesome. Jake is such a warm and friendly guide. The trip to the hot springs was about 1.5 hours maybe a bit less. It wasn’t weird or awkward or boring at all waiting to get there—Jake is a great conversationalist and I learned a ton about Vegas in general from him and about his travels. He actually gave me some good ideas for my next trip, he’s well traveled. He was super flexible, I didn’t rent a car in Vegas so he arranged the pick up stop to be in range of a cab from the strip which was really helpful. Since the trip doesn’t get back to Vegas until 10, I was worried about finding an Uber that late from his office but he volunteered to drive us back to our hotel which was so helpful. I traveled just me and my two kids. The trip was great with them, they had an absolute blast. It would also be an insanely romantic trip if you’re just traveling with your partner though too. I can’t describe it in words to convey the experience, and even the picture I took don’t do it justice. (Though Jake gave a ton of helpful tips how to adjust my iPhone camera settings to get the best star pictures, which helped a lot). The scenery on the drive in was beautiful, various kinds of desert that he explained the ecology and history of. It’s just a really short walk from the road to the natural hot springs. They are slightly above the temp of a hot tub, great as the air temp dropped in the early night. That part itself was really awesome. Clouds partly obscured the sky but we still saw tons of stars plus Mars and Jupiter. I downloaded an iPhone app that you point at the sky and the Augmented Reality shows the name of the stars and planets you’re actually seeing. I highly recommend that part, really enhances the beauty of just seeing the gorgeous panoply of so many stars, and the kids got a kick out of seeing which star clusters made which constellations, helped Engage them. But the overall view, even despite some cloudiness, was stunning. Really an awe sort of moment. Since we knew the sky would be somewhat cloudy, Jake called an audible and suggested to us via text (he was super easy to communicate with prior to leaving) early in the day that we leave slightly earlier in order to catch more of the sunset, to see more stuff overall. Wow! Again neither words nor pictures do it full justice. The clouds turned shades of purple I’m not used to seeing, shimmering over maybe 20 minutes of the sunset, sort of changing hues throughout. That too was awe inspiring in itself. Overall just a wonderful experience. I hope Jake branches out to other types of tour, he’s a natural at being a guide. My kids got a tablet/screen free experience that actually engaged them. The next morning they were still talking about it and how much they loved it. Overall 5/5, knocked out of the ballpark. Thanks Jake!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

I am so sorry for my late response to this wonderful review. It was such a treat to take you and your family out to see the stars. I am hopeful to grow in more ways to give others a chance to be in nature. I would love to see you all again!

Nature’s free hot tub in Vegas among the stars!

Angela_B, Jan 2025

I rarely venture off the Strip despite visiting Vegas quite a few times. I am a star gazer and this trip seemed to be exactly what I was looking for without giving up my whole day. Jake was an excellent tour guide and offered some personal travel experience on our journey to a place you can’t find on maps. It was as if I was on a road trip with an old friend. I felt comfortable and safe despite traveling alone. Jake showed me a hole in the wall brewery that was a nice spot to grab a beer and finish the trek to the hot springs. Again, things a normal traveler wouldn’t think of stopping at, let alone doing. Although Mother Nature didn’t fully cooperate… I was still in awe of the beautiful night sky with the stars playing peekaboo. The hot springs were a perfect natural hot tub with the feeling of stepping on clouds. It was definitely a night to remember and don’t hesitate to book a tour like this!

Karla_B, Jan 2025

We felt safe with our guide and did not have to worry about much since we were provided with towels snacks and a place to sit.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the review. We appreciate your support!

You have to try this once in a lifetime hot spring among the stars!

Scott_L, Jan 2025

It was absolutely breathtaking! It was way more than an excursion, it was basically like making friends with a local showing you the best kept secrets of the area. Jake and Stephanie thought of everything to show us an amazing time. The hot springs are absolutely magical and the sky is more beautiful than I have ever seen it. They brought a tripod, rose, chairs, towels and headlamps. Being able to go in a natural pool of 100 degrees water with the stars above while it's in the 40s outside was a once in a lifetime experience. Jake and Stephanie kept us entertained with interesting conversation and information that made it so much more fun. You need to go!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you so much for the beautiful review Scott!

Great hot springs tour

Mark_V, Dec 2024

Great tour, secluded with great view of the stars and the moon rising!! Guide was cheerful and enthusiastic!!

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thanks Mark! We appreciate your support!

Great off the strip adventure

Dennis_L, Jul 2024

Jake was a great tour guide, conversationalist and has been around the world. This is something I never thought of doing but would highly suggest it.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Thanks Dennis! Happy anniversary and glad to have met you both!

Great views!

Anonymous, May 2024

Our guide Jake had an awesome vibe! Personalized attention the moment we stepped into the jeep. We were surprised at how warm the water was! The views were beautiful and hardly anyone else around! A little buggy by the water. Driving home, the top of the jeep was down so we could see the stars perfectly! Jake picked songs that we loved and we belted out songs the while way back. I recommend this tour if you want a break from the hustle of the city!

Loved this - suitable for most ages (water is hot tub temps).

Sheryl_L, May 2024

We loved this! Family of 3. Jake was very informative and we had a great time joking and chatting on the drive. The hot springs were amazing! (I suggest water shoes). Really was hot tub temps. The scenery on the drive as well as views from the water were beautiful. We had a special treat and watched a pack of coyotes walk the ridge of a nearby mountain at dusk from the hot springs. It was a beautiful night and the star viewing was wonderful. I’m sorry my pictures won’t load for some reason but we definitely recommend this to make some unique memories and unplug from the chaos of the city.

Amazing experience

Michael_F, Mar 2024

A amazing time looking over the stars and watching the sun go down, The Springs were amazing to go in to, with a full moon rising as well it really showed a amazing time, with the time to get out there

Wonderful and welcome break from the city noise.

Jurgita_P, Jan 2024

We booked this for our family of 4 to take a break from the City lights. Our guide was a Vegas native with lots of experience and unique perspective and insight, on what growing up and living in Las Vegas is all about. We saw the most breathtaking sunset on our way out of town, and arrived just in time for the stars lighting up the entire sky for our enjoyment. The Spring was great, water temperature ideal for hot bath countering chilly night otherwise. If you enjoy nature and exploring, this experience is for you. Highly recommend!

Well worth it!

Brennen_W, Jan 2024

Jake is a guaranteed good time! Would definitely recommend everyone to try the hot springs once. You will not be cold and I'm a Floridian.

A very special experience....not to be missed!

Emma_C, Oct 2023

A hidden gem...if you want to swap the bright city vegas lights for a special beautiful starry night .... you really must do this! A friend and I joined Jake and Baze for a fab night at a very special place to Jake. Off the beaten track; a hidden and secluded spot where the stars shone brightly, relaxing in the beautiful hot spring was amazing whilst watching shooting stars under a moonlit sky. Only a short walk from the Jeep was required to enjoy this haven. Jake's knowledge of the location, the stars and his life experiences in general made for a night to remember. Such an inspirational chap as he oozes passion for this place and wants people to have the opportunity to share this stunning spot. Both were attentive hosts and would have tailored to their guests. I know Jake has hosted proposals here which would be SO special, so if you wanted peace and tranquillity Jake would do that, but we wanted laughter, chat and music and had great fun riding in the cool jeep and belting out some cracking songs...Baze has an amazing voice and the pair of them made for an experience to remember. Drink of choice, nibbles, towels and torches and a font of knowledge and fun were provided and dropped safely back to our hotel. So lovely to spend time with someone who truly cares that their guests have a unique and special experience. Thank you! Emma and Zoe.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you Emma for such a beautiful review and a memorable evening! It was a pleasure taking you both out on this experience. Can't wait to come visit you across the pond. Till next we meet!

Great experience with a great guide

Shaun_M, Oct 2023

I don't really know what to say but just wow. It was a very intimate experience. It was windy and the moon was full and bright, so it kind of washed the rest of the sky out. But to be able to see the stars and the 2 or 3 planets that were out, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn were visible. The knowledge he had of the area and his travels in general were awesome. Wish I could give this 10 stars but you guys are being selfish with the stars!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you again Shaun for the lovely review and your awesome stories you shared. It was a pleasure spending an evening under the stars with you and your wife!
