For more than 27 years, we’ve been Scottsdale’s longest-running off-road tour company, and our guided ATV/UTV U-Drive buggy tours in the Tonto National Forest are the perfect way to end your day in Arizona.
Your adventure begins as the sun begins to fall behind the mountains, filling the desert sky with golden and fiery hues. Behind the wheel of your own ATV/UTV sand buggy, you’ll follow our expert guides across the winding desert trails. Along the way, our local guides share stories about the plants, wildlife, and secrets of the evening desert, making this more than just a ride—it’s an authentic Arizona experience.
At the midway point, we’ll stop for water and snacks (provided), giving everyone a chance to swap drivers and soak up the stunning desert views.

5.00Thank you to Desert Dog Tours for a unique and enjoyable, off-road experience through the desert. We did not know what to expect, but this exceeded our expectations. Mike, our guide was professional, funny, kind, and knew so much information about the animals and Fana in the desert. If you are in doubt, I absolutely recommend booking with them!

10/10 ATV Tour in Scottsdale Desert

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This tour was an absolute highlight of my Bachelorette Trip to Scottsdale in April. Mike and his team were 10/10 on experience, photography, and everything in between. The views were unreal and it was exactly what I was looking for. We got lost getting there and they waited for us despite being late. I also wasn’t feeling the best and Mike still made sure I had the best experience possible, giving me the full Bride treatment. Will highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area!!

ATV Blast in the Desert

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We went on an off road sunset dessert side by side adventure. Wow, what a blast! Three side by sides, driven by three couples, followed our guide, Don, on a 2 hour drive into the desert. We hit most every type of terrain you can think of - it was so fun. We stopped twice, and the last stop was at sunset. Just gorgeous! I had never driven a side by side off road like that. If you like thrills, this is your adventure. Don was an incredible guide - patient with novices like us, kind, and trustworthy. TIPS: you get dirty on this adventure in the ATVs, Use the bathroom before you get to the adventure.
