    If you are looking for an unique moment in your daily life this is it. Conan is an exceptional guide. Both spiritually and literally… a guide. Extensive knowledge of the region, the endemic nature and Native American history. The ceremony that follows and introduction to mindfulness and meditation was a true immersive experience. Unique, beautiful and graceful. Thank you again for this moment

    The host was very knowledgeable, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The excursion did run about 45 minutes over the lot of time so you may wanna plan for a little extra time in the park.

    If you’re thinking about it…DO IT!

    Conan is so passionate and knowledgeable! An absolutely amazing journey! You walk away feeling fully emersed with the land. The ceremony was so peaceful! The sounds were very calming. Definitely need to do this!

    We had an unforgettable experience in the desert with sound healing and a cacao ceremony. The sound healing was the most powerful and beautiful meditation I’ve ever had — truly transformative. The cacao ceremony was also amazing, bringing warmth and connection. Everything took place at sunset, surrounded by incredible instruments we had never even seen before, which made the whole experience feel magical and unique. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it!

    An Authentic Inspirational Experience

    Conan is an expert guide with 40 yrs of experience and a depth of knowledge that coming through his wholeheartedness when sharing. The walk is really an anthologlic lesson of the local indigenous people's culture. I was so impressed how inclusive Conan's fact about the daily lives of the ancient world it brought it to life for me. After the nature walk, Conan shared a cacao ceremony with me which was great prepfor the gorgeous soundbath. There's really no words for the experience of being in the desert with someone who you can trust to guide you through setting and processing intentions under a blanket of stars. Truly magical ✨️ go, just go do it! I'll be back 🏜

    Unique experience. Beautiful and peaceful

    Conan was an awesome guide. He brought so much knowledge and passion to the walk and heart to the ceremony. I would do this experience all over again, it was that good!

    A spiritual experience

    An amazing experience, our guide was very knowledgeable and talented. Such a kind gentle person that made the experience so enjoyable.

    This event was well worth the cost and I highly recommend.

    During the nature walk I learned how to identify many desert plants and how they have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. The sound bath ceremony was wonderful. My guide, Conan, played many unusual musical instruments and the sounds were absolutely beautiful, very relaxing and possibly therapeutic.

    Maybe next time . . .

    I was SO looking forward to this tour. I even drove 8 hours just to take advantage of an experience that seemed to combine a mild "hike" (not too long) with a spiritual component. Unfortunately, due to a "glitch" the tour was booked when it should not have been offered at all (closed during the summer?). Even if the glitch was on the Viator side, the tour was confirmed but the tour operator was unresponsive. There were 2 of us that waited in 110 degree heat for 40+ minutes. Finally, the customer service rep from Viator was able to reach the tour guide and we received a refund. The tour guide offered to comp us a tour, but I live too far away to travel to JT but once/year.

    Full Experience

    We embarked on a leisurely hike through Joshua Tree National Park, guided by Conan, whose expertise in local flora, fauna, and geological formations enriched our experience. He generously shared his knowledge, encouraging questions and offering to capture moments through photography. Our group was further enriched by the presence of a biologist, adding depth to our understanding of the region's rock formations. Following the hike, we indulged in a serene Cacao ceremony and Soundbath at a nearby Native American compound, a deeply meditative experience. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we each selected our own spirit animal cards, adding a personal touch to our journey of exploration and mindfulness.
