Covid 19 Update!

COVID 19 Update 30 Nov 2020:

We are happy to announce that we have resumed our normal day to day operations. However, due to current curfew order issued by the Governor of California, our operating hours have been adjusted to comply with the provisions of the new order. Presently, Joshua Tree National Park is currently open for all normal operations. Information on Joshua Tree national Park operations can be found here and Covid 19 information for the State of California can be found here

That being said, we are happy and excited to entertain new requests and reservations for our tours anytime. We are hopeful that operations will be able to continue as normal. However, if things change, we will provide updates here. So please check back regularly.

We know and anticipate that until there will be continual changes to business operations, not only regionally but, globally as well, to help contain and mitigate the spread of this virus. Each phase has come with mitigation measures and requirements to help reduce the transmission of Covid 19 infections. Therefore, to ensure that all our trips, tours and activities are safe and enjoyable for all our guests, we will be implementing the following changes to all our tours until it is deemed no longer necessary in accordance with CDC physical distancing guidelines and Government mandates. Additional information on CDC guidelines can be found here: Corona Virus Guidelines CDC
