What an incredibly enriching and restorative time hiking and mediating. Conan was so knowledgeable and energetic on the hike. You could tell this is his passion and he would do it for free (though he definitely shouldn’t). It was like going on a hike with your best friend. The cacao experience, sound bath, and guided meditation was amazing. I just cried unprompted so many times during it. I shared with him how I was going through a very difficult time and he made me feel so supported and loved even as a complete stranger. I literally can’t wait to go back for more.

It was a wonderful experience for my husband and myself. We had never been to Palm Springs and we live in Santa Cruz California! Michael was our guide. He is a retired science high school teacher. He is an excellent guide… great geology jokes… clear descriptions of the kinds of rocks… igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Just to be exploring the desert canyon and to touch and smell the different vegetation was amazing. This adventure was a highlight of our trip to Palm Springs.

This was an amazing experience! Conan was the perfect guide, and we learned so much about the history and geology of the park. The sound bath meditation was truly transformative. Overall, it was a fantastic time that should not be missed!

Our guide was flexible and took us a couple of spot where we wanted to go that wasn’t in route. A comfortable ride with a cool driver and on the go perks Thank you Stephen!

Tour of Joshua Tree National Park was great! Information on audio tour was interesting and accurate. Really helped us enjoy this park so much!
