TEN out of TEN! - My friends and I all agree. That this was a perfect choice for a Friends Day.Friends day in the mountains. We were all in agreement that we wanted something that would be healthy and energizing but we weren't sure where to go. This experience was perfect bc Amber knew exactly what we needed. She curtailed our while experience by our needs and preferences. The wholesome snacks were over the top delicious and satisfying. She took time to tell us details about our trek along the way and took as many pictures of us as we wanted! She was so patient and awesome! This was A DEFINITE 10 OUT OF 10!!! We'll be back for more soon~ especially this summer when the weather is perfect up there! Thank you🙌

Unforgettable Jeep Tour with Amber! - We had the absolute best experience on the Jeep tour in Big Bear, and that’s entirely thanks to our phenomenal guide, Amber. From the moment we met her, her warm personality, deep local knowledge, and passion for the area made the trip feel like an adventure with an old friend. Amber expertly navigated the rugged trails, ensuring we were safe while still giving us the thrilling off-road experience we were hoping for. Her storytelling brought the history, geology, and Native American significance of the Eye of God to life in a way that was both engaging and meaningful. You can tell she truly loves what she does—and it shows in every detail. The scenic stops were jaw-droppingly beautiful, and lunch was delicious, served with thoughtful touches that made the whole experience feel personal and luxurious. Amber even went out of her way to help us capture stunning photos and made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable. If you're visiting Big Bear and want to explore its hidden gems, book this tour with Amber. Her enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine care turn a fun trip into a lifelong memory. Can't recommend her enough!

Amazing activity to experience! - We enjoyed our jeep tour and picnic so much! Amber took us on a perfect hike and was so knowledgeable of the Big Bear area. She made a delicious Greek pasta salad and brought us crisp apples from her own tree! It was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this adventure with Amber!

A very Bare Lake tour. - Never saw Big Bear Lake. After driving for 21/2 hours to the pull off where we met, asked for bathroom. Told none near…….later found out a visitor center was 5 min away. Provided lunch was minimal; we ate where people shot beer bottles for fun. The roads taken to the two sites we were shown were nearly passable and we bounced around violently in the SUV jeep.
