Absolutely amazing experience. Even if you’re experienced with UTV, this trip was a lot of fun. Beautiful drive through the desert. Lots of breaks to learn about the environment and wildlife. Signage made it really easy to find the location. The check in process was easy. All in all, a great trip. Highly recommend it!

We are here for the final NASCAR championship race working and took some time to have a fun couple of hours. I thought pricing was reasonable, timing was perfect, atmosphere was so much fun and our guides were so knowledgable and fun. There were about 15 of us all together which was great. I would highly recommend.

They need two tracks one which is for experience drivers and another for intermediator driver. I felt that track hills were difficult for non-experience driver. We all want to have fun with no accident or mishaps so business should make the track choice for different expertise level. Staff was excellent
It was a great time, our guide Jesse was fantastic. He was patient and very knowledgeable.

From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The guide was not only professional and safety-conscious, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history, wildlife, and terrain — turning the ride into both a thrill and a learning experience. What really stood out was the passion and energy of the team. You could tell they genuinely love what they do and want every guest to have the best time possible. We stopped at a few viewpoints to let us take photos. Money well spent
An exhilarating experience!

Our guide, JB, was very knowledge and provided us with information about the area we were traveling through. Safety was a top priority! The scenery along the route was spectacular. Being in the desert, it can get dusty at times, so you are provided with goggles and a hoodie. All in all, it was an excellent experience!
