Creating Your Own Special Palm Springs Vacation

I started Captain Kirk’s Palm Springs Adventure in March, 2011 with a very simple mission:

Provide Palm Springs active adult visitors with hassle-free and memorable vacations that exceed expectations.

In a world that has become increasingly “high-tech,” my goal is to provide services that are “high-touch” and personalized. For example:

Where to Stay

If you’ve been thinking about a Palm Springs vacation you may have visited some of the many Palm Springs tourism websites. With over 120 places to stay in the City of Palm Springs alone it can be a challenge making the “best” choice. Many sites sell advertising and therefore only include accommodations that have purchased space. Other sites only have listings, meaning you must constantly click to other websites, not knowing if those resorts have availability in your time-frame.

I provide recommendations, based on getting to know who you are, what your interests are and who you are traveling with. After a conversation by phone or Skype to learn what kind of Palm Springs vacation you want, I offer “top pick” recommendations. I only recommend those resorts that match your preferences and have availability during your planned vacation time-frame. You’ll still want to check out these recommendations for yourself, but I save you time and hassle.

What to Do

There’s so much to do in the Palm Springs area. I provide you, as an active adult, with options that match your interests, as well as some suggestions regarding how you might want to combine activities. For example, if you’re interested in both hiking and shopping, I know a place just perfect for an easy 1½ hour hike including terrific views of the surrounding valley that’s only 10 minutes from El Paseo (the Rodeo Drive of Palm Springs) where you can have lunch and spend time shopping.

I also offer personalized Old Las Palmas Celebrity Home Walking Tours and Desert Oasis Hiking Tours on the San Andrea Fault. These tours are small (limited to no more than 6 people) and scheduled at your convenience, not the convenience of the tour company.

Time to Relax

Many Palm Springs visitors just want to spend time at their resort, out in the sun by the pool, maybe catching up on some long overdue reading, chilling out from a hectic work schedule – basically “doing nothing.” Many resorts have room refrigerators; some have suites with full kitchens. Based on your shopping list I’ll make sure your fridge is stocked before your arrival and re-stocked during your visit. No need to make that trip to the grocery store – spend your time doing what you really want to do. I can arrange to have meals provided for you at your resort, and if you want, I’ll even serve them and clean up afterwards.
