Take a wild ride through the California desert in a comfortable open-air Hummer. Beware, it is 20 to 30 degrees cooler in the higher elevations and we highly recommend wearing layered clothing.

This tour journeys through fabled Joshua Tree National Park.

Those beginning in Palm Desert will ride in an air conditioned shuttle for comfort. The total tour length is about 5 hours if taking our shuttle.

Experience the natural beauty of the area while learning about its ecosystem and history from a National Park–approved guide.

We have taken over 100,000 happy guests on this tour and you will not be disappointed.

The Hummer was fantastic, the open top allowed you to see the mountains and desert clearly without much obstruction. Austin was a great tour guide, he provided fun facts, a great playlist and had just the right amount to humor to go along with his deep knowledge of the area. He even gave us recommendations for surrounding restaurants too! One warning-the Hummer ride is very windy and can be cold. We layered up- a windbreaker is a must! There were blankets in the Hummer, as well as snacks and water. Also, there is no running water in the park, but we made a rest room stop before entering. There are restrooms but they are more like glorified portapotties. Wear sunscreen and tennis shoes as you do a little hike!
Fun Times!

The Hummer Ride is windy and will be cold if temps are low, but blankets were provided. Bundle up and enjoy the ride! Our guide was personable and informative!! It was a great way to sample the park for first time visitors or just a quick visit:)
Hummer Excursion is a bit misleading-Open Air yes but no OffRoad

Fair Overview, but I chose the Hummer Trip expecting it to go offroad. We only traveled on the paved roads to 3 good sites but it could easily be done in a van or small bus. Hummer was rough and open but my wife an others were cold with a fair amount of wind/dust.
