I have done several outings with California Overland (a 5-hour desert tour, an astronomy overnight camping trip, and a Julian wine tour), and they have all been fabulous! Anza-Borrego is a magical place in my opinion. Lacking a 4-wheel-drive vehicle and being curious to discover more about the area, my family members and I signed up for a 5-hour desert... more

We were on vacation in San Diego, and we wanted to see the California desert. Fortunately, we found California Overland in Borrego Springs. Joe gave me great directions to and from Borrego Springs. The drive out there was so spectacular, I was thinking, Why am I going on a tour? But let me tell you, the tour was even better.... more

Having been on a jeep trip in Arizona, we wanted our teens to experience something similar in California, and a quick internet search brought up Joe's trips from Borrego Springs. Although it was the height of summer, Joe was very communicative via email, and we agreed a 4 hour trip leaving 3-4pm, after the real heat of midday. We were... more

I booked a half-day private tour with Joe, some months in advance. He worked with my request to see the areas of Anzo-Borrego that I couldn't get to with my 2 WD rental car. Off we went to explore Split Mountain and the Wind Caves, but after driving up a river bed, the Jeep had mechanical issues. I was really... more

Took a great overnight trip to the desert and met up with joe from California Overland. Military transport truck and off to some great spots. Be prepared for some dust, but well worth it. Learned a lot about the history of the desert, Alcoholic pass, WWII, plants, fossils, you name it . Joe knows tons about nature and don"t be... more

My wife and I booked a private half-day tour with California Overland while we were vacationing in Borrego Springs. Joe, the owner, took excellent care of us. His recommendations met our preferences, and he is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the desert flora and fauna. Since his jeep had some potential problems, the three of us... more

I have been travelling out to Anza Borrego once a year for the past several. Due to my inexperience and unfamiliarity, had to basically stick to the roads with limited excursions onto the desert floor. Joe at California Overland was the answer to my prayers as he was able to customize a private jeep tour for me, which was tailored... more

My husband and I are active people that love nature. We recently travelled to San Diego for business and took a couple of days to explore the local area. The Anza Borrego Desert is amazing with varied landscapes and experiences. We stayed at the Palm Canyon Resort which was simple, clean, and comfortable. I strongly encourage you to contact Joe... more
