Joshua Tree Open Air Hummer Adventure

Wanted to book an excursion in J Tree that worked for my family - my (older) parents and my (gen z) sister all loved it! Tom was an awesome guide and had great music selection. Awesome way to see the park

Such a great way to see Josie Tree National Park. Tim was a great guide - perfect mix of educational and just taking in the views.

Our guide, Bob, was excellent. That, and the magnificent splendor of the park, are the only positives. Don't be fooled by a picture of a hummer sitting in front of a Joshua tree. This 3 hour tour never leaves a paved road on which you could drive your own car. Further, an entire hour of the tour is spent on reaching the park entrance from the meeting point and returning. About an hour is spent walking around magnificent rocks where people are climbing and learning some interesting facts about Joshua trees, other flora and the park's geology. The other hour is spent climbing to an amazing vista, with some time for viewing. Add in extra National Park Service charges of $15 per person and a gratuity, this tour costs over $200 per person for 2 hours inside the park. And your snack is a protein bar and water. Even factoring in inflated California prices, this tour is grossly overpriced. Roll your windows down and enjoy your own drive through the park.

We had the best time with Bob. Great tour guide. Lots of great information and music! I highly recommend this tour.

Bob was very engaging and knowledgeable. Our family, including our 6 yr old, enjoyed the tour, the facts and tunes! Highly recommend.

We had the absolute best experience with Tom as our Joshua Tree tour guide! Our group was made up of nine 50+ year-old best girlfriends from high school, visiting Joshua Tree for the very first time, and Tom was nothing short of incredible. He struck the perfect balance between funny and deeply knowledgeable, and he could shift from silly to serious with total ease—exactly what our group needed. Two of our friends had some health and mobility challenges, and Tom handled that with such patience and kindness. He made sure the more active women had chances to scramble and hike a bit, while never making the women with mobility issues feel left out. We were all included, all supported, and all having fun! And the music! His special playlists were a thoughtful touch—we sang our hearts out when the moment was right. Even with the rain coming down all day (we needed the transit van, but it didn’t damper the tour!), the whole experience felt magical. Purple Rain will have new meaning for us all. All nine of us would request Tom again in a heartbeat for our next visit—whether we’re bringing our children, spouses, parents, or coming back for another girls’ trip. What a special, unforgettable day!

What a great time! Easy and efficient sign ups, we parked at the visitor center. The day was cold and cloudy for a sunset cruise, but AJ our guide made it fun. We toured all the spots he knew about and he even had blankets, coats and gloves for the ride! Definitely check out!

Our guide, Bob, was enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about the high desert and its fauna and flora and rock formations. Being a former rock climber himself, he could give us a lot of information about the rock climbers we were seeing. Loved it. Certainly wouldn’t want to do this tour any other way other than in an open air vehicle although it is chilly so dress warmly. Even the ride back was great fun as we sang along to a great musical selection.

Good Experience - Guide tells you lots about the park that if you go on your own you would never know.

It was a great experience with our driver Denise. She took us to four locations and kept the group together. She pointed out a lot of places to go if we come back
