My 10 year old son and I did a fun 5 mile moderately challenging hike with Hollis. She was quite pleasant and had a good demeanor and working with my son. This was quite an educational hike and I feel like we learned a lot about Joshua tree national Park as well as seeing some unique sites.
Best desert hike

I cannot recommend this hike enough!! Travis and Hollis were incredible guides and people! I learned so much about the desert's flora and fauna, the geology and geography but, beyond this, the hike was such a positive experience. I was able to push myself (safely!!) and by the end of the journey I understood why so many folks fall in love with Joshua Tree. This experience was the hi-light of my solo adventure and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Life changing experience

We had a wonderful late afternoon/sunset hike with Heather. She was fun, knowledgeable of the plants and animals and terrain, and paced the hike perfectly. It was a lovely experience that I highly recommend.
On the way back we ran into a young woman who had hiked alone, dressed in black, and had consumed the one small bottle of water she had brought. (She declined our offer of more water.) Anyway, this made me especially appreciative of all the guidance for dress and equipment we were given in advance of our hike.
Fun visit to Joshua Tree

Travis was absolutely incredible! He led our family of 4 through the rocks in a way that was safety focused as well as challenging and encouraging to our level. We learned a lot about nature and ourselves. We are stronger humans because of our experience and what Travis saw in us in such a short time together. We highly recommend Travis as a guide! He is fun, adaptable, knowledgeable and a SUPER SOLID DUDE!
Travis was very...

the best guide ever!! He was so passionate about the park and it came through in the way he spoke about it during the hike. He knew so much about the park, geology,area history and hoe the rock formations formed! It was more than just a walk through the park. He was also about safety, staying hydrated and making sure i was always comfortable with what we were doing.
if you get a chance do this!
Wonderful Experience

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
