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!

We had the most amazing time on our desert tour with Noah! From start to finish, he made the experience unforgettable with his incredible knowledge of the desert, wildlife, and surrounding area, while keeping everything fun and engaging. He was so friendly, personable, and made us comfortable right away The views were absolutely stunning, and he took us to some incredible spots and saw some many animas. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I would highly recommend booking a desert tour with Noah to anyone looking for a memorable and wonderful experience.

Derik was an amazing tour guide who provided educational details of the Sonoran desert and all the inhabitants who call this area home. I especially appreciated his sense of humor while delivering his educational tidbits. The Tom cars were fun yet challenging given the terrain, but quite unique.

It 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

Our 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!
