5.00We booked this for our family. We have 2 teen boys, one teen girl and a 7 year old. They ALL loved it. All our teens have their license and were able to drive the UTVs which was incredible. We booked 3 separate reservations so that we had groups of 2 in each UTV, it gave everyone more drive time than putting 4 together. Mayton was our guide. He was so funny and even caught a snake at the end for everyone to hold. He stopped at an area with an amazing view and took pics of our whole family and gave a lot of fun facts that even the big kids enjoyed. But the majority of the time was just driving the rugged mountain area. Always felt safe yet it was thrilling. It was such a great time, the kids want to do a UTV experience on every trip now. Would do this again if we came back out to Phoenix.

Unforgettable Desert Adventure with Sam and Hunter!

5.00This guided ATV tour was an absolute blast! The desert scenery was stunning, and the route had the perfect mix of thrill and challenge. Sam and Hunter were both super helpful and made sure we were fully prepared before heading out. One thing to note—be very prepared for the heat. It gets HOT out there, especially with the sun beating down and the heat from the engine. I highly recommend wearing boots and long pants—the engine puts off a lot of heat by your ankles, and you’ll definitely feel it. And stay super hydrated before—bring one of those hydration backpacks if you need to! The heat and the workout you get from driving those ATVs up and down the hills and rough terrain can dehydrate you quickly. A huge shoutout to Sam, who made the experience even better with his fun, laid-back personality. He really went above and beyond—after the halfway point, I started overheating a bit from the sun on the ATV, and Sam was kind enough to let me switch over and drive his UTV to cool off for the rest of the ride and he took my ATV to guide the rest of the tour. That act of kindness made a big difference and allowed me to enjoy the second half of the tour safely and comfortably. This is a must-do adventure if you're visiting! Just come prepared for the desert heat, and you’ll have an unforgettable time. Thanks again to Sam and Hunter for an amazing ride!
