We had a blast in the UTVs with Matt as our guide. After our safety briefing we were off into the desert. The UTV felt really safe & the pace of the group was good. After recent rain there were some nice areas to drive through!!! We had a few stops where drivers could switch and Matt provided interesting info about the local desert area. Highly Recommend this trip - Ask for Matt as your guide

Matt was so enthusiastic, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. He really loves what he does! He was very attentive during the tour and gave ample chances for the drivers to switch. This was my first tour but it will not be my last. I loved it!

What a phenomenal experience and day that we had. Austin and Chris were amazing. Not only their knowledge, just the entire process was smooth and their personalities you felt like you knew them forever. This was my kids first time doing an ATV/UTV desert off roading experience. I highly recommended and would not hesitate to do it again next time we are out in Phoenix area. What an absolutely incredible day and these two guys made that possible.

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!
