5What a cute and fun...
What a cute and fun adventure! We were in town for Stagecoach and booked several extra days to enjoy the heat and we’re so glad we booked this.
5Highlight of our trip to Indio
This was a fun experience. The guide was knowledgeable and personable. There was a real family atmosphere. The food was very good. I enjoyed learning about the desert plants and the area. The music was fun. Even though we did not join the dancing it was fun. The 2 teenagers with us enjoyed the games and the whole experience.
5A tast of the old west.
Had a great time fun and informative. Nice friendly staff, owners are on sight greating the guest. Food was good and plenty BBQ to go around, you will get full. Plenty of non alcoholic drinks. So if you need a beer bring your own. Had a great time and you will too.
5Come for the tour and stay for the hospitality
It was great. The guides, entertainment, servers, operator and everyone embody hospitality. It was our first time. The tour was interesting. Our guide, Paul, was knowledgeable and cares about the desert. The food was good. We especially liked the chicken. The music, singing and dancing was fun even though we don't really dance. We both cannot say enough about the warm hospitality.
5An Unforgettable Desert Oasis – Well Worth the Drive!
This experience was absolutely worth the drive from Orange County! We booked the later tour to accommodate our travel time to Indio, and it was the perfect way to spend an evening. From the moment we arrived, we were transported back in time. The grounds are beautifully set up like an authentic wagon-era camp. While waiting for our tour, we enjoyed live music with some truly amazing vocalists and tried our hand at the outdoor games—though I learned the hard way that I definitely can’t rope a steer, even a stationary one! A few highlights from our trip: BYOB: We loved that we could bring our own adult beverages to enjoy throughout the evening. The Tour: Fun, engaging, and packed with interesting history about the grounds and the local area. The Vibe: Returning from the tour just as the sun was setting was magical. The temperature was perfect, and the BBQ dinner was delicious and fit the theme perfectly. Entertainment: The music under the tent and the family-style seating made for a great social atmosphere. We enjoyed this experience so much that we were already wishing they offered an overnight camp option! If you’re looking for a unique, high-quality adventure, I highly recommend this tour. We will definitely be back!
5Thumbs up
