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?

Oct 7

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!

Go San Diego Card – Getting Ready for a Fun Filled Day!

Apr 29

Posted by Mr K in Blabber, Scenic Tours, Themeparks, Wine Tasting | Comments off

Last Friday we received a visit from our friends and makers of the fantastic Go San Diego Card (click the link to order your very own card). Actually, they make Go Cards for many different destinations, such as Los Angeles, Boston, Orlando, Miami, Chicago and many others. It’s such an amazing idea, really. You purchase a card that comes with a free guide. The guide has tons of ideas for things to do locally and will get you in at no additional cost to about 50 different attractions.

The representative that paid us a visit was nice enough to leave us a couple of Go San Diego Cards to try out. At some point in the next couple of weeks two of us will be going to San Diego to enjoy the benefits of the card. Looking at the guide, there are so many different things to do, it will be tough.

Here are my initial thoughts:

Breakfast at the Cheese Shop Restaurant and Delicatessen. I LOVE CHEESE AND BREAKFAST. We get 20% off our breakfast and a Free Frisby! We need one of those down in Laguna Beach – Orange County!

Tour PETCO Park. I am a big baseball fan, and going to take a tour of the San Diego Padres home park sounds like a perfect thing to do. How could I miss this?!

Wine Tasting! Why would we not go drink some free wine?

You will have to wait to find out what we actually end up doing :)
