We had the best time with Mike at Desert Dog Off-Road Adventures for our bachelorette UTV tour! He was incredibly thoughtful and focused on safety while still making the experience so fun and exciting. He was especially encouraging and patient with a few of our more skittish girls, which made everyone feel comfortable and confident on the trails. The ride was a blast and the views were absolutely gorgeous, such a fun and memorable highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!
Amazing adventure…...

I highly recommend Desert Dog! Our guide was Mike and he was really great. He was kind and funny but also very clear about what he needed from us to create a fun and safe outing. I’m a pretty aggressive driver and the speed was just right. Fast enough that you had to stay focused and got to enjoy the machine but not so fast as to be scared. Everything about the outing exceeded our expectations!!
Fantastic experience!!

My Boyfriend and I had an absolute blast on the ATV desert sunset tour! The ride itself was a lot of fun and the desert views at sunset were stunning. Our tour guide, Mike, was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. He really made the experience even better. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something fun and memorable to do in the the Pheonix /Scottsdale area!
Beautiful fast fun with the family! Wife and daughter never driven off road and they loved the thrill and freedom of it!

Our dune buggy experience in Arizona was absolutely unforgettable! Steve and Parker were fantastic guides—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made us feel safe while still keeping the ride exciting and full of adventure. The desert views were stunning, and the whole experience was well organized from start to finish. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone looking for fun, excitement, and great people to share it with!!
