About this tour
Trade the city streets for Joshua Tree’s wide-open desert on a ride in an open-air H1 Hummer. This Palm Springs Joshua Tree Hummer adventure pairs striking landscapes with insights from a National Park-approved guide.
Depart daily at 8:30 am from the Palm Springs Art Museum’s main entrance. The Palm Springs option includes an air-conditioned shuttle ride before the open-air portion, and the full experience lasts about five hours. Once in the park, explore its desert scenery and learn about the area’s ecology and history. Bottled water and snacks are included, and each H1 Hummer carries up to nine people.
Higher elevations can be 20–30°F cooler, so bring layers and wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes. The open-air tour does not operate from December through February. Choose this Palm Springs Joshua Tree Hummer adventure for a close-up look at the park’s landscapes and natural story.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.80 from 483 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Palm Springs
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
