Notes

-Where does the tour depart?
This tour departs from a central location in Palm Desert. The address will be provided on your E-Ticket when your tour is confirmed.

-Can children go?
Of course! We take children 4 years old and over on this tour. California Law requires that children under 6 years of age or 60 pounds must ride in an approved child safety seat. To ensure the safety of your child, you must provide your own car seat and you must assume responsibility for buckling your child into the seat to make sure the child is properly secured.

-How rough is the ride?
This tour can be bumpy at times and is not recommended for young children (under age 4) or guests with neck or back injuries. Women who are pregnant are advised to consult with their doctor before taking a Jeep tour.

-How many guests fit in one jeep?
Each jeep carries 7 passengers plus your Naturalist Guide/Driver.

-Do we need to bring water?
Our jeeps are stocked with plenty of cool bottled water and granola bars.

-Are there restrooms?
Clean restrooms are available on our tour.

-What kind of shoes and clothes shouls I wear?
You should wear closed toe shoes with rubber soles (no open toes). Desert temperatures change quickly, so dress in layers and bring sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen.

-Can I bring a video or other camera?
Absolutely, the photo opportunities are wonderful.

-Do you get out of the jeep? is there hiking involved? How difficult?
Yes, on most of our tours, you get out of your jeep several times to see the desert up close and personal.

-What kind of wildlife will we see?
Desert wildlife includes coyotes, kit fox, tarantulas, scorpions, an occasional mountain lion, rattle snakes and other cool snakes (don't be scared...they are more scared of you and will hide in most instances: unless you are lucky!) Most desert wildlife is seen early morning or late in the afternoon just before sunset.
