Picture this…you drop into the open blue abyss, submerged. Completely enveloped by the ocean, you take a deep breath. Oxygen flows into your lungs as you’ve just done the unthinkable—breathe underwater. Humans may have evolved on land to escape the complex nature of the ocean but with modern technology, we have given ourselves an opportunity to explore Earth’s aquatic realm.

Scuba diving is an adventure that opens your eyes to a region of nature that is in almost every way alien to our own structured society. To observe life underwater isn’t as much of an activity as it is a metaphysical awakening, a journey to increase the scope of your perspective of the duality of life on land and water.

When you book a diving trip with Kijubi you might observe colorful coral palaces with eel poking their heads out, observing you. You might swim among a school of fish, encouraging you to swim in line. Depending on your location, you might find a sea turtle sifting through the water currents next to you. The opportunities of exploration and observation are endless.

Getter started with scuba diving is extremely easy and safe. The only requirement is that you know how to swim and have a love for the ocean. After an initial lesson in a pool to get adjusted to the breathing equipment, your licensed instructor will teach you the safety hand signals. Before you know it, you’ll be out in the ocean for your first time, breathing normally and following your instructor as he or she shows you interesting sights on the tour. Kijubi currently has an assortment of scuba diving trips situated in Florida specifically in Miami and Key Largo. Bring some underwater excitement to your vacation!

Things can get hectic this time of year around the office with the holidays looming, fourth quarter numbers to meet and those annoying co-worker secret Santa gift exchanges to shop for. It’s only natural for the group to want to blow off some steam, and what could make for a better holiday party than to unload on your boss with a bucket of paintballs!!

Kijubi has just added a variety of great California group paintball activities to the site from Los Angeles County to San Diego County to the Inland Empire. Many of our sites, like the Castaic location, have themed fields so you can battle it out on the streets of Baghdad, have a lunar war on the face of the moon or have a post apocalyptic war just like the scenes of Mad Max.

Generally recommended for ages 10 and up our group paintball activities can accommodate up to twenty guests and are ideal for corporate and company picnics, private parties, church events, team building, large events, bachelor parties, school field trips, graduation nights, banquets, receptions, summer camp trips, birthdays, or any other occasion when you might want to have some competitive fun outdoors.

This Could Be Your Boss!!

The game typically works like capture the flag where two teams are put on opposite ends of a large roped off field or forested area. A referee signals the beginning of play as well as the end of the game when one team has successfully rescued their flag from the opponents base station and returned it to theirs without being sniped by a paintball.

The required eye protection, paintball guns, paint and other gear is all available for rent on site and advanced reservations through Kijubi are highly recommended before making the trip.

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!

Kijubi meeting a friendly wolf?

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 running with wolves?

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 canyoneering in LA?

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.”

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!
