San Andreas and Joshua tree national park - This is one of the best tours I have ever done. My husband and I learnt a great deal about the San Andreas geological history, food of the desert, birdlife, trees, conservation background as well as the amazing windfarm. I will recommend it to anyone!

We loved the San Andreas Fault and Saulton Sea tour! Bruce was so knowledgeable about the desert plants, history and geology and made our day fun and a real learning experience. We had a chance to see wildlife, learn about historical survival tactics and even taste dates from a local plantation. This is a great tour for those wanting a... More

There were only the three of us in the Hummer, so plenty of room, and in a short time we were being driven along the Coachella Valley with Craig giving us a... More

Craig, our guide, picked us up in his H2 outside our door in PGA West and a short drive later we were learning about the geology, archeology and history of the Coachella Valley. We learned how the Cahuilla Indians survived in the desert, which... More

We returned last week from a trip to Palm Springs. One of the highlights of our trip was a four hour tour of Joshua Tree National Park. Cache, our tour guide, showed up on time to pick us up, and the next several hours were a real joy. The weather was great, we had opportunities to get out of the... More
