We had a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the area. It was nice to be off the main road and truly appreciate the view, without a crowd of people.

Amazing experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

It was an amazing way to see the Joshua Tree National Park! The experience exceeded all my expectations. We were picked up at a convenient spot with lots of parking. Isabella greeted us with a big smile and a happy disposition. She was enthusiastic and attentive to our interests the whole experience. We will definitely book this experience again and recommend it to our friends and family.

Loved Off Road tour with Big Wheel Tours

Published on Jan, 2025

My husband and my guide was Ben who was fantastic. He provided us with an exciting backroad ride into Joshua Tree and taught us about the area, fauna, landforms. I highly recommend that you choose Big Wheel tours for your JT adventure and ask for Ben! It was very clear where to meet up in Palm Desert, the staff is very responsive to questions. Take a warm jacket as it can be chilly either early morning or later after the sun sets.
