From a few minutes in, we were glad we booked our UTV trip with AZ Outdoor Fun. The staff were all friendly, and had great customer service. Lorenzo was our guide, he was patient, and extremely accommodating- Thank you! Right away we received water bottles from the fridge, and we had access to more throughout the tour. The views were breathtaking! There were many times we drove right next to a cliff, which was terrifying for those afraid of heights. We really enjoyed our time on the Centipede Trail and at the same time we were very scared from the trail, which had cliffs, narrow turns and steep mountains. We stopped for photos, and information, and we also got to see wildlife. Our tour was scheduled from 3-5 pm, and we came back to base around 5:30, if scheduling a car to pick up, leave time for the tour to go overtime. Thank you AZ Outdoor Fun for an amazing experience and excellent customer service!

Great time overall! Yes, it was dusty and the terrain was definitely bumpy—but that’s part of the fun. The views were beautiful and absolutely worth it. We felt safe the entire ride, and our guides, JB & Tyler, were knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this UTV trail ride to anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure.
