Covered Wagon Tours

Since its establishment in 1987, Covered Wagon Tours has been dedicated to delivering outstanding hospitality and captivating tours in the Palm Springs California Desert. Over the years, we have transformed from a group-centered touring site to offering daily tours for independent tourists, valley residents, and private groups. Our primary goal is to provide guests with an authentic tour experience, complemented by a chuckwagon dinner and celebrated in a stylishly rustic setting. With a wide range of entertainment and customizable options, we strive to create an immersive desert experience for all our guests. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to welcome you on board for a truly one-of-a-kind California Adventure.

Adventure

Hop aboard for a one-of-a-kind western adventure and Sonoran Desert Eco Tour. Ride into scenic canyons that are part of a 32,000-acre oasis wilderness preserve. This is all from the comfort of our open-air, Covered Wagons! Your naturalist guide and wagon driver will entertain and expound on the plant life, wildlife, Native American and Pioneer History and the geology of this “San Andreas Fault” created wilderness. A guided nature walk is also included and optional!

Entertainment

Return to camp with the smell of dinner cooking and to live-western music. Enjoy the sounds of classic American Cowboy Country, desert- folklore originals and sweet campfire songs. Continue the fun, with a line dance and or our old-fashioned partner dance, known as, “The Barn Dance”! This is a favorite amongst our guests! If you suffer with two left feet, and dance is not for You, then try your luck at a game of horseshoes, cornhole or cowboy style roping.

Dinner

Experience the glow of the desert sun sinking behind the San Jacinto Mountains while enjoying a catered chuckwagon- style BBQ dinner. Indulge in Smoked Brisket or Tri-Tip, BBQ Chicken, served with all the classic trimmings. Guests are welcome to sit inside our desert-style barn or outside, along the desert’s edge of our scenic, Sonoran patio. After dinner, enjoy seasonal pie with whipped cream. Round off the evening, roasting marshmallows beside a glowing campfire, under a stary sky.
