Tour Reviews
What a great experience! Everything very well organized, vehicles in perfect condition, safety instructions easy and clear, Ben is super-friendly and a great host. We had a fun day, did the Hercules tour, as this was our first experience - and this was great, although we did it on a Saturday we did not meet anyone on the trail, the trails are well chosen! We had a nice small picnic on the way, it was really hot, so do not forget to bring enough water. Next time the full day tour for sure! Highly recommended!
Extremely well-maintained vehicles. Friendly and outgoing service – Ben was awesome! I run Jeeps back east and I can tell you that this is a fantastic way to spend a few hours exploring the desert. You will not be disappointed.
What to Bring
