How to Prepare

While the Jeeps that visitors drive are definitely made to handle tough terrain, there are a few important things to know before you go and make the most of this exciting experience. While walk-ins are welcome, these popular tours have a tendency to fill up fast and It’s recommended that guests make a reservation in advance. Tours depart at various times throughout the day with options to choose from trips leaving at 9:00 am, 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm depending on preference and the type of experience you and your group would like to have. Guests should wear comfortable shoes and clothes that can accommodate fluctuating weather and it’s highly advised that sunscreen and hats are brought along for the trip as well. Snacks and beverages are provided for moments made to enjoy scenic stops but those who are aiming for a full-fledged picnic are encouraged to bring their own food along as well.

Customized Trips

Just because a trip isn’t listed on the website doesn’t mean it can’t be done. The team at Big Bear Jeep Experience is dedicated to customer satisfaction and often times, that means taking the road even less traveled. Guests are encouraged to suggest tour itineraries if there are places they’ve been pining to go. Recommended destinations that fall beyond the scheduled stops could include Pioneer Town, The Rose Mine or Cougar Buttes. Simply let your reservation agent know what you and your group would be interested in seeing and a customized experience can start being planned. Friendly, flexible and knowledgeable guides are there to ensure that every customized trip comes complete with the same standards of safety as traditional off-road routes.
