Palm Springs Tours
Palm Springs tours to magnificent unspoiled, remote locations. Experience a sense of adventure and discovery with an unexpected twist - luxury! We'll take you to breathtaking locations in air-conditioned comfort in the world's best-in-class all-terrain HUMMER H2 with knowledgeable, expert guides. Choose a spectacular backcountry adventure to a remote area of Joshua Tree National Park or go to the infamous San Andreas Fault where you can witness entire mountains pushed up (and out) by the earth's tremendous forces. Other adventures include a complete tour of the Salton Sea where you will see unusual geological oddities such as mud volcanoes and giant bubbling mud pots and a very special tour to the only wolf sanctuary in the world where you can actually interact with them - this is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Our tours have been featured on the Travel Channel, the Today Show, in Conde Nast Traveler, the Los Angeles Times, and numerous other publications worldwide. Elite Land Tours was recently awarded Attraction of the Year by the Palm Springs Desert Resorts Convention and Visitors Authority. We are the original Palm Springs Hummer tour and the only tour using authentic Hummers.
