Amazing opportunity to explore in 1 day Joshua Tree NP from San Diego. Darren was a great guide and know all main points in the Park. Also nice to do a hike as part of the day program.

We had a great tour at Joshua Tree National Park. Darren let us pick the parts of the park to visit and stopped for photos where ever we chose plus he had good suggestions of places to visit. He was a great great tour guide, I highly recommend this tour.

Very worth a long drive! Beautiful views and great trails if you love the outdoor. Darren is flexible if you have any trails in particular if you have some in mind also!
