While visiting the Phoenix area, what’s better than driving a 2-seated 800cc UTV Sand Buggy over cool terrain with your best bud by your side? How about having a guide to lead the way so you don’t get lost! Our customer reviews on this desert adventure tour are through the roof! This isn’t some slow-speed, single file UTV tour. This is a smile-a-second adventure tour through super-cool desert track; rock gardens, sandy washes, twisty canyons, and technical two track. Bottled water and snacks will be provided at the mid way stop and drivers and passengers can swap at this point. On this adventure tour will also learn about the Flora and Fauna in Sonoran Desert and that the only place you can find the Saguaro Cactus is in The Sonoran Desert. We bring the buggies, the helmets, gators, water and snacks. You bring you and see why Desert Dog Offroad Adventures is the funnest desert tour operator in the Phoenix and surrounding area!

Don our tour guide was awesome. His knowledge of the desert landscape was second to none. He put the safety of the tour front and center. I would highly recommend booking any outdoor adventure with Don

The UTV ride in the Sonoran Desert was very fun! It was very windy during our UTV ride, but we had a blast cruising through the desert!

Fun to do one time. Good content opportunity. Very shaky and dusty ride. Everyone in the group rides in a straight line and you have to follow very closely to the person in front of you. Overpriced for what it is, but also fun to experience once.
