What To Expect
Experience the most award-winning off-road adventure in Arizona! Since 2006, Desert Wolf has strived to provide quality experiences! With over 35 awards, we care about your experience. We were ranked the #6 Best Thing To Do in the US by TripAdvisor in 2022. Operate a military-grade UTV called the Tomcar, the Humvee of UTVs. Our adventure gets you up close and personal with the Sonoran Desert on diverse terrain in our 4-seat UTVs. With elevation changes, smooth and rough terrain, our trails will give you the full experience as you take in the breathtaking mountain vista views. There are plenty of driving opportunities along the way! You will spend some time outside of the Tomcars with your guide, where you will enjoy the landscape and learn about the flora and fauna, history of the area, and some interactive demonstrations! Our adventure is 3 - 3.5 hours, versus the industry standard 2 hour tour. Rather than cruising by the environment, with us you will get an opportunity to EXPERIENCE the desert! We believe our guests prefer a longer tour, as you will get an chance to stop and take in the sights of the Sonoran Desert! Don’t feel rushed and miss what we love about our home!

5.00It started with a great experience booking the trip with hunter. I was taking my 4 year old and he spent the time to mention that we could put his car seat in the buggy so he could see better (higher up) and numerous other ideas. We showed up early and before they were even open derik (our guide) helped me instal the car seat in the buggy. Derik was great to talk with. Very knowledgeable in anything we asked. We traveled from alberta canada and i couldn't have asked for a better experience
Fantastic Adventure Tour - and learned a lot about the desert, too!

5.00Our family of six, from teenagers to grandparents, all had a great time driving and riding through the Sonoran desert! The trail was bumpy, lumpy, and dusty - so dress appropriately - but tons of fun! Guides Derik and Noah did a great job explaining all about the desert plants, animals, and landscape, all with a sense of humor that brought the information to life!

5.00If you’ve ever wondered what happens when Call of Duty gets taken WAY too seriously… this is it! Rick was an absolute LEGEND of a tour guide. From the moment we hopped on the ATVs to the full-on machine gun experience, it felt like we were dropped straight into a real-life video game—except way more fun and way louder. Rick made everything exciting, and safe. He knew his stuff, kept the energy high, and made sure we all felt like total pros out there (even if we definitely were not.) Between the rocky ride and the adrenaline rush of shooting, this was hands-down one of the coolest things we’ve ever done. If you’re even thinking about booking—DO IT. 10/10 would absolutely go back and pretend we’re in Call of Duty again.
Great Experience!

5.00Our family went on the tour with guide Derik! Our guide was personable and knowledgeable about the desert plants, the tomcars, and much more. We had a great time out in the desert and enjoyed our time. Lots of fun! Great views of the mountains and area. We had a beautiful 3.5 hour morning drive with great weather. The afternoon could be a hot one! Strongly recommend fo all! Our tour was smaller - 13 people, but that was great!
