Hot chocolate in the desert - Very cool experience but it does get cold out there so dress warm. In layers would be perfect. They provide hot drinks, chocolate, and even hand warmers. I saw Saturn’s rings. I am not a nature person but I really enjoyed this.

Group stargazing experience - Absolutely worth doing if you want an unforgettable experience looking at the night sky. There are few places in the world where you get to look at the stars with little to no light pollution. The guides were extremely friendly, passionate about astronomy, and knowledgeable.

Hoys Joshua Tree Stargazing 2026 - 2 weeks in CA desert & This was our final adventure with our party of 8 (two 56 year olds & 6 twenty something’s) - and it was unarguably the most memorable moments we had ..”highly recommended!” - be sure to head the warnings of “dress warm” & no cell service other than that ..an absolute gem of a guide on an A+ experience (nothing strenuous at all for those not too agile -all flat ground walks

Incredible Stargazing Experience - This is an amazing stargazing experience! They thought of everything that made the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - the set up included comfortable lounging yogibos to lay on, blankets and hand warmers to keep warm, hot drinks and snacks, binoculars to look more closely at the planets and stars, and the best part - telescopes to see nebulas, Jupiter's surface, Saturn and its rings, and even the Andromeda galaxy! It was guided by an astronomer and documented by a photographer. It was truly a worthwhile experience, not to be missed!

Magical experience under the stars! - One of the most magical and awe-inspiring experiences my team and I have ever had. Matt and Chris were incredibly knowledgeable and creative in how they explained the universe, making everything feel accessible and inspiring. We even saw a very bright shooting star! I’ve already recommended this experience to family and friends and would absolutely do it again.
