Unforgettable Family Adventure with Happy Trails Rental!…read more We recently took our family to Palm Springs for a fun weekend filled with stargazing, hiking, and off-roading--and hands down, the highlight of the entire trip was our experience with Happy Trails Rental. We rented two side-by-sides (one 4-seater and one 2-seater) and chose the Scavenger Hunt, which was perfect since we had my younger nephew with us. From start to finish, Ben and Tony were absolutely fantastic--extremely helpful, communicative, and transparent every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to focus on having fun as a family. They even provided a cooler for us to pack lunch, and the navigation was pre-mapped with clear waypoints, making it easy to explore without worrying about getting lost. We stopped multiple times along the way to take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and just soak in the experience. The entire time, my family was smiling from ear to ear. Ben and Tony are true professionals, and it really shows in how well they run their business and take care of their customers. If you're looking to spend a few unforgettable hours outdoors with your family, I can't recommend Happy Trails Rental enough. We will absolutely be back!

Even paper ski masks to help keep out the dust! That was a very nice and unexpected touch. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews about getting the waivers done. But it's not hard. I've worked in IT help desks for years so I know some people are just not good with a computer. That's fine. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll get thru. Or just get help from a teenager. :-) To get to this location they give you very good directions. If you follow them you'll have no issues. It's actually very easy! But GPS is not great for the less traveled roads in the mountains going to a place that doesn't really have a street address. We will be going back soon! Hopefully for 2 hours next time!

Amazing adventures! Awesome ride to Lake Hemet thank you Slinging 360 for an awesome rideread more

Let's just say "Bravo". I have been looking into purchasing a slingshot, but I did not want to…read moreactually purchase one without having a chance to really test drive it. I have seen in Las Vegas that they rented slingshots out, but never had a chance to do it. My wife surprised me on Father's Day with that chance. Luckily, Slinging 360 was here in the desert. The owners were extremely welcoming and professional. This made the experience a whole lot better. I can now say that I will be purchasing my own slingshot within the next few days. I may not be returning as a customer, but I definitely will be referring Slinging 360 to everyone. Trust me, you will not regret it.

I really can't say much else. The vibe was there, the views were there, the knowledge and stories on point. Allan really made our experience the best. I tremendously appreciate how kind and cool he was with our 11year old. He loves to ask a million questions and Allan was just so kind and happy to answer all of them! This was our first time and I will say.. we are coming back with some friends lol. I highly recommend it's. Soooo much fun! We experienced a part of big bear most people don't see or know about it was just sooo beautiful! I highly highly recommend! Don't sleep on this one!

We had planned to have our experience on Wednesday but got a call on Monday that our experience…read morewould need to be rescheduled due to unexpected mandatory training. They were extremely accommodating since we had planned to come out from Washington to CA literally just for this experience. They were able to work with us and rescheduled us a private tour on Tuesday after our flight got in. Conner was an absolute delight. His comedic timing, and historic knowledge of the big bear area was so awesome. We took the gold mountain trail, and Conner met us at our own experience level. His ability to navigate and direct us through obstacles was seamless and helpful rather than demeaning. In addition to that he was extremely accommodating for us having smaller kiddos, one of which nearly having a bathroom emergency. It's clear his priority is a smooth, fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. Thanks again Conner!

The owner, Randall, claims to have a masters degree in natural resources management and who…read moreobviously loves the environment very much. For him to believe "chem trails" are controlling the weather and "both sides were too evil" to vote for Harris, I was astounded. (The first page of a Google search on "Chem trails" only returns how it's a conspiracy theory) If you're not against them, you're for them. I'd be interested to see how Randall feels when they start drilling for oil or the developer who already owns property we drove across finally gets approval to build his golf resort. If I hadn't already booked and paid for this experience, I would have passed. Also, there are only a few months where the weather is mild enough for the tortoises (if there are any left) to be found, so don't expect to see much wildlife. While the rocks and mountains were lovely and we enjoyed the silence, it is mainly a tour of the surroundings. Set your expectations appropriately. Nice enough guy if you only want to have someone drive you around. In case you found him through "Visitpalmsprings" he does not have EV ATV's and our average speed was 26 MPH not 10-20 MPH as noted. I was impressed with how smooth the gas ATV was over many bumps, but this isn't as "chill" (his web site) as it seemed it was described. Update: I think politics does get included in this experience. Your web site clearly states your concern (very real) for the environment and animals in it and you back it up with multiple advanced degrees in natural resources and ecology leading me to believe we are aligned in how we (the population) are to protect this beautiful place and these amazing animals. When I arrive and learn you believe some secret group is controlling the weather with chem trails... Have you taken this conspiracy theory back to your professors and run it by them? You didn't have an answer when I asked, "Who makes the money by stopping the rain? If they can stop the rain, they should be able to turn it back on, why don't they do that?" If you're going to posit this conspiracy theory, you should really have the full nonsense available. This is a microcosm of what not voting for Harris turns into. I'm not sitting around being polite to those that are going to cause very real harm to women, hard working, tax paying working immigrants AND the environment when our sacred lands are drilled to look like swiss cheese. You should change your web site to say, "I'll take you for a ride in the desert while it's still here"

Plus I think it's a relatively safe experience with the guide riding in his own ATV and he even said he tested himself right before with negative COVID results. Randall was awesome from start to finish. He's super knowledgeable about the area with some cool history facts along the way. Overall, he was a really chill guy and constantly checked in to make sure we were having fun. And he's great at taking pics and videos. I was impressed at how he was able to hold a phone with one hand to film us driving behind him during some of the bumpier sections! We even got to check out some tanks on the way back from Operation Desert Storm. Our 3-seater ATV was a bumpy ride in a good way. Some of the roads even felt like you were going on a rollercoaster at high enough speeds! I had a ton of fun on this experience and will definitely be recommending to my friends.

This was my first time on a quad/ATV and my boyfriend has been riding dirt bikes since he was like 6yrs old. I love being outdoors & going on new adventures, and he loves riding ... so the mixture of those things i came upon this place. For birthdays I love and prefer creating memories instead of giving materialistic gifts. Example: For his 28th birthday I booked us a little personal speed boat in San Diego. Upon arrival check-in was easy, quick, and they gave us hand sanitizer so we felt assured. They had helmets and other PPE lined up and available for us to use, however we had brought our own (riding gloves, riding jerseys, riding DOT certified helmets, and googles) which they allow. Our guide Jorge was funny and very easy going. The ride overall was really fun!! During our ride our guide also took pictures of us and he took some awesome ones with amazing backdrops! The only complaint I have was that I only booked us the 1 hour ride. Next time we are doing the 2 hour ride for sure! And maybe the Big Bear location as well.

This was hands down one of the best tours I have ever experienced. It is a bit daunting to think…read moreabout finding the tour group off a Joshua Tree parking lot at night, but the logistics and communication by Molly and Tony were exceptional, with Cuz onsite. They are also quick responders to any questions. Every aspect of the experience has been perfected. I don't know much about astronomy and figured this tour would help point out some constellations for us. It was SO much more, full of Tony's impassioned stories from different cultures about the stars . His enthusiasm is contagious and knowledge is impressive. The tour is totally unscripted yet packed with great stories and just the right amount of interaction. It is a great and inspiring story how the business was developed. They offer drinks and snacks as well as blankets and gravity chairs, with flameless candles lighting where to step. The two other highlights for us were the UFO military grade goggles that make the stars and planets pop as they did for our ancestors, prior to light pollution. The equipment is clearly state of the art. The slow exposure portrait Tony takes at the end is absolutely beautiful and frameable. I left wanting to do further research on the stars, and would repeat these tours again for sure.
