Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Joshua Tree National Park, Joshua Tree, CA

Our shuttle van will take you to the city of Joshua Tree where we trade for our H-1 Military Hummer to complete your adventure. We climb to the top of a breathtaking overlook called Keys Point that will give you a stunning view of the valley below and a view that stretches all the way to Mexico.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Keys View, Joshua Tree National Park, CA

Gawk at a view that stretches for hundreds of miles. From this high point in Joshua Tree you can see as far as the Salton Sea and all the way down to Mexico on a clear day.

You might even be able to make out your hotel on this escarpment that borders the famous San Andreas Fault. Look below this ledge we will stop at and you will see the fault line itself which stretches for over 800 miles.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Barker Dam Trail, North of Barker Dam parking area, Joshua Tree National Park, CA

We offer an optional mile walk on this view that meanders through jaw-dropping beauty that includes the monzo granite formations of Joshua Tree as well as forests of these ancient plants that survived the Ice Age.

Your Hummer guide will escort you through this area and he is a certified Wilderness guide trained in the geology of this area as well as aware of its more recent Native American history.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Cap Rock Trail, Joshua Tree National Park, CA 92277

This offers you an additional half-mile optional walk that loops you around precarious rock formations that balance upon one another. This is one of the most photographed areas in the park and well worth a stop and visit. Do not forget your cameras!

Duration: 30 minutes

This was the best way to be introduced to Joshua Tree National Park! Our guide, Tom, was fantastic and made it a fun and informative tour. He took us on some of the park's highlights and some more hidden areas, and the combination of driving in an open air Hummer and taking short hikes - was perfect. It was the highlight of our trip.

The narration was just great! We saw wonderful sights & the guide created a fun atmosphere. I would be happy to take the tour again without of town company.

Had my tour booked and took a 40 minute uber to the meeting point at the welcome centre. Was about 50 minutes early so looked in the welcome centre. I sat outside as the tour group came back from the earlier tour. I was chatting to one of the ladies who came back asking how it was saying I was about to go on my tour. One of the tour guys asked me if I was waiting for something and I said the 1.30 session. He said he didn't know if there was another session so at this point I thought maybe there was a different car and tour guide swapping over. The other tour guy had gone to refuel but I thought maybe it was for my trip. 30 mins goes by and I start to worry as no car has come back. I tried calling but the line was busy. The lovely women at the Welcome Centre tried for ages to help me. When they finally got hold of someone it turned out they cancelled my trip and had not notified me. Apparently they tried calling but my phone had no messages and was working. Worse yet, they did not email or cancel through La Vacanza Travel, where I had booked. I had to wait hours to be able to get hold of an uber after even trying to call car transfer companies. I was stuck there for 3 hrs. Another 40 minute uber back luckily only because the uber driver dropped someone off from the airport or I might have been stranded for longer. A whole day of my holiday wasted and with expenses for nothing. I was right there and they didn't say to my face it was cancelled? The ladies at the Welcome Centre were very shocked. It took me requesting a refund for them to even assist. If I hadn't they probably would have kept the money.

Tom was so great with so much knowledge and an obvious genuine love of the area. Really great playlist too! I am a solo traveller from London and I felt very welcome. I would highly recommend this trip.
