Hot Air Balloon Ride
Guests can greet the sun as they float effortlessly through beautiful desert skies above Palm Springs Desert Resorts area. This is one of the most peaceful and surreal experiences of a lifetime.

Hummer Adventure Tour
This journey will take you far from the noise and confusion of the city to explore the REAL DESERT in the comfort of a Hummer vehicle! No visit to Palm Springs is complete without a journey into Joshua Tree National Park, which is located near the Palm Springs area. Guests will be taken on an old goldmine trail, courtesy of the National Park Service, to a volcanic summit with views for hundreds of miles. This tour includes a spectacular journey into both the lower desert (also known as the Colorado) as well as the high desert (also known as the Mojave Desert) where we enter Joshua Tree National Park. The eco guide and driver are experts and will educate and entertain you as you visit areas of the park you cannot reach on your own. The Hummers will climb up 2000 feet, bringing all participants to the cool weather of the Mojave Desert, where temperatures are some 20 degrees cooler than Palm Springs.

This optional activity includes:
Transportation to and from The Westin Mission Hills and lunch.


Please Note: Closed toe shoes, hair tie or hat recommended as HUMMERS are open air. Each attendee will be required to sign a liability release form upon boarding the Hummer.®
