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!

This adventure was a once in a lifetime experience Noah was a fantastic guide and interpreter we learned a lot about desert life plants and animals saw literally hundreds of saguero cactuses I saw a hair donkeys and some cattle. The Tom cars easily handled the rough terrain even though we are in the middle of the Sonoran desert we felt safe with our guide Noah we even learned how to get water out of a certain type of cactus in an emergency this was a great desert tour 3 hours in the Sonoran desert I would highly recommend it

Derik was a really good guide, very knowledgable about the desert flora and fauna and added humour to his talks at each stop. The vehicles are really fun to drive over the most beautiful terrain and seem un fazed by the rocks and dips. You do need to hang on tight as a driver and as a passenger but the cars just keep going! The views and scenery in the desert were amazing. You won’t regret doing this.

What a fun tour. We enjoyed the stops and information from our tour guide. We got right into the ride without spending an inordinate amount or time "prepping". The guide was knowledgeable and friendly.
