Trip: Joshua Tree Choose Your Own Adventure - Half Day (AM)

Guide: Ryan M.

We went on a pick our own adventure and we did repelling and canyon exploring. Our guide Ryan was amazing. He was on time and very knowledgeable of the Joshua Tree National Park. The canyon exploring was everyone's favorite but the repelling didn't disappoint. We had a 16 year old who was having second thoughts on desending over the edge but Ryan was able to coach and talk to him in a very easy manner that aloud him to become at ease and make it down. Over all an amazing day

Trip: Joshua Tree Rock Climbing - Full Day

Guide: James M.

Great day! I climbed a bit when I was in my 20-30’s and I’m now in my 60’s and climbing with 27 year old. We had different ability levels and Murf did a great job finding climbs that worked for both of us, and when I got gassed, he found a challenging climb for my oldest, that pushed their limits and felt like a real accomplishment! I was challenged too on the more moderate climbs. Bottom line, Murf structured a day where we got in a lot of climbs that worked for us really well. Aside from being a fun and knowledgeable guide, he was a good teacher on the rockcraft and the geology, flora and fauna. Hard to go wrong when it’s clear weather, and very quiet, in this incredible setting, but Murf did a great job and he and Seth were very responsive as we set this up. Highly recommend.

Trip: Joshua Tree Rock Climbing - Half Day (AM)

Guide: Mason H.

Mojave Guides rock climbing is outstanding. Their website is easy to navigate and updates in realtime, which is helpful. Our guide, Mason, was fun, kind and extremely supportive. He took us to a cool climbing spot and gave us options of climbing levels. My 15 yo nephew was really nervous about his first repel. Mason talked him through it & encouraged him constantly. I highly recommend Mojave Guides!

The guides for our Mojave desert tour were all great! There were lots of guides and they moved around our group of about 40 people. They each had something different to show us or tell us about, and they loved to see our excitement. They were each interesting people in their own way, forging unique paths in this world, totally appreciative of the beauty of the desert, the joy of their work and getting to know each of us. It felt like a great day with new friends. God bless each one of you. And thank you again.

The guides were both highly knowledgeable and warm and personable. Speaking of warm, I owe a special debt of gratitude to Mason for loaning me his extra jacket. I would have been really uncomfortable without his kind gesture.

We had such a fun half-day! Heather was great and very knowledgeable and brought us on some cool climbs that were within our ability but still challenging.

Trip: Joshua Tree Rappelling - Half Day (AM)

Guide: Mason H.

Our family had an amazing time on half day Joshua Tree Rappelling trip. Most of the credit for this experience goes to our tour guide Mason. He was very professional, encouraging and patient. This was our first experience with Rappelling and it couldn’t have been better. We started out on a relatively small rock and once we got comfortable with it, we went on a challenging rock. Mason gave us the confidence and ensured that we all had an amazing time. My kids can’t stop talking about how great our experience was. Thanks Mojave guides and Mason for such a great experience!

Trip: Joshua Tree Rock Climbing - Half Day (AM)

Guide: Defne D.

Defne was such a great, fun guide! She was knowledgeable, safe, and flexible based on my needs as a client (I was coming off of a shoulder injury, so I wasn't fully sure of how hard I'd be climbing). She listened to my goals for the session, and gave me just the right amount of challenge for my current fitness level. We were able to pack a decent amount of climbing into the half day, and she was thoughtful enough to show me some classics and 5-star climbs, as it was my first time in Joshua Tree. Thanks again for a great time! I'd definitely book with Mojave Guides again.
