The Only Tour in the Valley with a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence and 5-Star Yelp rating!
This is the best find in the Palm Springs area! David is superb. He is friendly and knowledgeable. So happy to see and hear and understand the wind energy world better. Go on this tour today!

This is a really well-run spot, let by guide David who is informative and charming. We own a home in the area, but never heard of this self-guided tour. We will recommend it to all of our friends who visit. You should see it!
– Ryan R. | Yelp
I know it seems offbeat, but this was really fun and interesting. We learned a lot and laughed a lot bc being in the windiest spot in the US is kinda wacky! The tour was well set-up for Covid. David did an amazing job hosting the tour.
– Caitlin H. | TripAdvisor
This is a pretty cool thing to do from the comfort of your vehicle. We always wondered about windmills/turbines and David was a wealth of information prior to and during our tour. I have a new found respect for wind power now, as well as our valley.

I am a resident of Palm Springs and had family in town. I had been on several tours but the Wind Mill Tour was by far the most fun and educational. We learned so much about wind and solar power that we were blown away (no pun intended)!
