What To Expect
Arizona ATV Adventures
The West Sedona Canyon Tour area is about 8 miles west of Sedona. Make your own way to the departure point and from there, you will be taken to the trailhead in a 15-passenger van. The 3-hour tour begins when you arrive at the trailhead. This is the outback of the West Sedona Valley, where over 40 movies have been filmed over the years. There is over a hundred miles of trails to choose from, which provides your guide with the opportunity to customize each tour based on the age, interests and skill levels of the group. You’ll be awestruck by a view of the Verde Valley from the top of Skeleton Bone Mountain, over 800 feet above the valley floor. And don’t be surprised if some antelope run alongside you as you drive along the valley floor! For your safety and comfort, wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and bring your sunglasses. Also, bring your camera; the views are spectacular!

5.00Spent about 2.5 hours driving around seeing different sites and getting a little education along the way. Jordan was fantastic tour guide and our family of four had a great time. Very dusty so we would recommend long sleeved shirts! Definitely recommend!
Had a great time!

5.00I was so nervous to do this but Jordan, our tour guide, was so supportive. He often asked if I was doing ok and if I needed anything. Had a great time! Would definitely do it again.
Beginner friendly ATV ride through the prairie!

3.00This guided ATV tour takes you through prairies and back country west of Sedona. It does not go through Sedona itself, populated areas, or mountainous areas. It starts with a 20 - 30 minute tutorial and intro period where staff teach you how to operate their ATVs, of which they use versions that are relatively low powered, smaller, easier to operate. I was not pleased that staff require to pay an additional $19 when you arrive at the facility. This hidden cost, not built into the reservation, is presented at the last minute after you've already paid the original fee and traveled all the way to their office. Surely a violation of Arizona truth in pricing laws. Staff claimed "Trip Advisor cannot collect the tourism fees and taxes for us" but they could easily increase the advertised price by $19 to be more transparent and not surprise guests with an extra fee after they already paid the advertised fee. After completing training and putting on safety equipment, staff ask you to follow their truck in your own car to a prairie on the outskirts of western Sedona where you drive in caravan style along dirt roads through the countryside. The roads are relatively flat, safe for pickup trucks and SUVs. This is not an off-road experience. You are not allowed to drive on your own or leave the caravan of ATVs. This is a low-risk, low-excitement, beginner-friendly tour. I would recommend it for people who have never driven an ATV, do not like rugged roads, and do not want challenging or exciting course. It's more like the choo-choo train at an amusement park than a roller coaster. I really liked our tour guide, Tyler, who had a great way of talking to guests, educating and helping them, cracking jokes, and telling us about the area. He was friendly, courteous, helpful, and attentive the whole time. Tyler was probably the best part of the tour, candidly told me the ride would stay rather mild, but referred me to some other options if I wanted a more mountainous and adventurous ATV ride.
As first time riders we were nervous, as seniors we were unsure of thisadventure but my husband did great ! The trails !
