A Wild Time – Kijubi Running with Wolves?

Oct 12

Posted by Mr K in Gift Ideas, Kijubi, Off-Road - Hummer, Sightseeing, Uncategorized | Comments off

Check this out for a memorable way to celebrate:

A couple of Kijubi customers celebrated their anniversary and a birthday in style when they took part in our Running with Wolves Hummer Tour in Palm Springs.  On the tour, guests are taken to the only place on Earth where you can actually interact with wolves.

Keith Elderkin said of the experience, “…we were amazed by the whole experience, it really made a special end to our holiday to get so close to the wolves, my wife was completely overwhelmed.
THANK YOU!”

It’s not surprising really, as this tour has been featured on the Travel Channel, the Today Show, in Conde Nast Traveler, the Los Angeles Times and a wealth of other publications around the globe.  Other accolades include being awarded Attraction of the Year by the Palm Springs Desert Resorts Convention and Visitors Authority.

Perhaps why this particular tour has proven so popular is the attention to detail and the extra mile owner, Mark Farley, always takes for guests.  For the Elderkins’ special occasion, Mark provided two beautiful gift bags with mugs, aqua clips, cookies, a wolf statue, candy and more.  To top it off, he added two helium balloons, tied to each bag – one saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and the other, “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!”  Awww, what a guy!

To ensure our customers get only the very the best, Kijubi sends guests to the original Palm Springs Hummer tours; the only tours using authentic Hummers.

The Hummers provide luxurious air-conditioned comfort – what a way to see parts of the California wilderness that most people will never get to experience!  In fact, I think it’s about time the Kijubi Girls try it out…

Kijubi Canyoneering?

Posted by Mr K in Canyoneering, Hiking, Kijubi, Uncategorized | Comments off

Canyoneering - definitely one of Kijubi’s most popular activities and one for which we continually get rave reviews.

All summer we’ve been getting amazing feedback about this fast growing sport that has only become widely popular in the USA in the last few years.  One such glowing report came from a Kijubi partner, SCOA (Southern California Outdoors Adventurers) when they took 13 adventure-seeking Los Angelinos out to try their hand at scaling rock faces and rappelling down waterfalls.

Kijubi customers’ comments on canyoneering included:

“When I posted the pictures of canyoneering to facebook I was baraged with comments like.. “you lead the coolest life of anyone I know.” This event ROCKED for those of us with beginner climbing skills for whom it was a real adventure to rappel, etc! ”.

“So much fun and excitement.  MUST do activity; experience of a life time!”

“Awesome time.  The guides, people, weather, experience – all worked together in perfect harmony and then I went and had yogurt.  What a perfect day.  Canyoneering is FUN!”



“The guides where great, very knowledgeable and always emphasized safety.”

“It will be hard to top this adventure. Thanks.”

“Great event, gorgeous weather, great people… rappelling underneath the waterfall was definitely a highlight.”

With reviews like that, what are you waiting for?  Now it’s your turn… Kijubi canyoneering?


About SCOA: After first trying out canyoneering in July, Kijubi’s partner, SCOA, has hit the mountains several times this summer, bringing back group after group as demand for canyoneering continued. SCOA unites like-minded activity seekers to try out new and unusual outdoors activities.  So, for those of you who like the idea of trying canyoneering but are a bit short of fun folks to go with, SCOA is a great resource for you to be able to meet new friends and try exciting activities.  Check out what they have on here and, of course, if you don’t see your favorite Kijubi activity on their calendar, let them (or us!) know so we can get it set up!

Skydive jumps all over California – Kijubi Skydiving?

Oct 7

Posted by Mr K in Skydiving | Comments off

Skydiving is probably one of the most thrilling activities you can do, and California offers some of the best jumps available. I have not personally been skydiving yet, but it will happen sooner or later. I think indoor skydiving was definitely a good start to get that first feeling and sensation of what it would be like.

So, now for the good stuff. Where exactly do we offer Skydiving in California today and what are the options? We offer both solo and tandem skydive jumps from Perris, Cloverdale, Marina, and San Diego.

Tandem Skydive Jump in Cloverdale, CA – We’ll start from the top of the state in the North Coast region. This 12,500 foot jump for only $199 offers some breathtaking views over the wine country. It comes with a full instruction, a DVD of the jump, and a great time, all included in the price.

Tandem Skydive Jump in Marina, CA – Coming down the coast, we come across Marina in the San Francisco Bay area. This facility offers 10,000, 15,000, or 18,000 foot tandem skydive jumps, starting at $169 (for the 10k). You can get videos and photos of your skydiving experience for an extra fee, which I would highly recommend.

Skydiving in Perris, CA – As we continue down we reach the Inland Empire. Starting at $209, our Perris location offers both tandem and solo jumps. There is also an indoor skydiving facility and you can purchase combo-tickets and experience indoor skydiving before the real thing.

Skydiving in San Diego, CA – Our final destination for skydiving is San Diego. We offer both tandem ($199) and solo ($339) dives in Southern California, which both are from 13,000 feet. You can add your video on DVD for an additional fee.
