This was such an amazing experience...we (my husband & I) had a GRAND time...was nervous initially but thankful for the gift shop nearby the pickup location they advised us handy articles such as a head scarf to wear under the helmets provided. Then the opportunity to pose with the tour guide's ATV. We got some super good pictures.

Our guide Harry was an excellent teacher and guide. Was honestly nervous about it. But it was easy with Harry's instructions and was an enjoyable ride.

Byers beware

Sherri_J, Mar 2026
We booked an excursion on Viator that clearly stated 10 AM 3/22/2026. After arriving before 10 AM at a seedy location, outside a souvenir shop at the end of the Las Vegas strip and next to a rundown motel, we were told that our tour was 9:30 AM, instead of 10 AM.We were told that a text message was sent in a phone call was made, which both claims approving to be false. Our phone log showed no missed calls, which we have a photo record of. Our text messages show no messages sent which we have a photo record of. Absolutely no attempts was made to notify us of any change to the time. We were told that we missed our excursion. We were told that the problem was with Viator because this third party reservation does not have the exact time for excursions. However we found out that Viator was not the culprit but the operators were at fault because they did not make the change to our reservations through Viator. It has been proven that when Viator is notified that they do communicate the changes, which was done with us on other excursions that we booked through them. This particular vendor/operator " Nellis Dunes ATV TOUR is irresponsible and did not make any attempts to call or notify us of changes made to our reservation. Nellis Dunes ATV TOUR is highly disreputable and their practice unscrupulous and unacceptable. Of course they stated that there are no refunds. We are disputing this fraudulent practice and denial of service to our credit card institution and to the Better Business Bureau. Buyers beware!

ATV riding at nellis dunes

Kenneth_G, Dec 2025
Too much talking too much stopping and not enough riding the instructor did way too much talking to the point it almost put me too sleep

Thrill Ride through the Dunes

Joshua_M, Dec 2025
The ATV through the Dunes in the valley is a thrill ride. Going through the sands and the river beds where you see the mountains in background, the sands, and the plant life and the uniqueness of Nevada's landscape can be felt as you drive on ATVs which makes you feel as if you are a racer. I loved it and will oneday do it again. Would come back to vegas to do this again

Kenny was absolutely phenomenal! We had a great experience & he was so patient with everyone!!! This is my first time riding ATVs & and now I’m a pro thanks to Kenny!

We had sooooo much fun...

Christine_C, Nov 2025
We had sooooo much fun and enjoyed every minute of it! We got an upgrade from our original package selected and although we got real muddy..it was well worth it! The tour guide was exceptional and it was real easy to learn how to navigate the ATV! One of the best things we did on our vacay to Vegas! Thank you!

Harry was an amazing tour...

Mikayla_N, Nov 2025
Harry was an amazing tour guide . Woman I spoke to when I messed up with the booking reservation was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will be back !

It was a lot of fun....

Donald_R, Oct 2025
It was a lot of fun. Harry is a great instructor. He taught us a lot and was patience with the people who needed more help

Amazing experience

Thembisa_F, Oct 2025
Kurk and the team was very knowledgeable and Friendly.... They made the ride very comfortable for first time riders. Because of them ill be doing ATVing again. I 1000% recommend

Meh

Melanie_D, Oct 2025
Our guide was absolutely phenomenal and the ride was smooth and we felt safe. I am rating this a 3 star because we had to wait for an hour in the dessert because there wasn’t enough ATVs for our group. We had to stand there and wait for the entire group before us to finish their hour ride before we could even proceed. It was very annoying.

We had a wonderful time....

Melvin_E, Oct 2025
We had a wonderful time. It was a must do if you are visiting Las Vegas. Harry, our guide, was the absolute best. He made the experience a hundred times better.

Great experience. Harry...

Jason_H, Oct 2025
Great experience. Harry was very humorous, descriptive as well as informative and helpful throughout tour. Exceptional tour guide. I’m definitely doing this again soon!

The best

Shawna_W, Sep 2025
The best tour I've ever taken. Not only the experience but the tour guide Casey had the greatest energy! She made the experience a 1000/10! We love you girl see you again! -King & Mom

Really good experience....

Patrice_L, Sep 2025
Really good experience. Stay hydrated and wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn't mind getting dirty and tossing them out.

Worth the money

Wayne_R, Sep 2025
A well ran activity. Elijah was a great host. The course catered for young and old, experienced and first time riders. Had a portaloo to use (basic) and there was cold water to drink in breaks. You will get dusty but you’ll have fun.

Non refundable

Cachet_C, Sep 2025
Only gave a one because Unfortunately I was unable to attend due to flight cancellation, just sharing that this is non refundable activity so if an unfortunate flight cancellation occurs you will miss out .

Misleading- you can see the dunes but do not ride them

Anessia_S, Sep 2025
Misleading in saying it is a dunes ATV tour. We went out and road on very flat land in figure 8s for majority of the time.. Great for beginners Only went back maybe 1/4- 1/2 mile from the main road. Our tour guide Elyjah was awesome though. Would recommend him!

Rip off

Roderick_L, Sep 2025
Overpaid, they say one price and charge us extra 100 dollars, couldn’t talk to anyone to get a refund

Mojave Desert Fun

Angela_M, Sep 2025
Fun day experiencing the Mojave desert on an ATV with great guides! Alex did a great job giving us instructions and the Thunderbird air show flying out of Nellis AFB was an added bonus!

I booked an ATV excursion...

Michael_T, Sep 2025
I booked an ATV excursion with my family. The reservation was cancelled by the ATV tour company as there were too few people signed up for the time we selected. That was understandable, but what irked me and was disappointing was that when I asked about the refund they never responded. I saw the charges pending on my card and gave it a few days to see if they were reversed. However that never happened and I was eventually fully charged on my card. I just can’t abide businesses that happily take a consumer’s hard-earned money, but are unwilling to refund that money when they decide it isn’t to their benefit to deliver the goods or services. I don’t like giving this type if review, but I feel the need to warn others about this business.

Fun Ride!

D_J, Sep 2025
Being able to ride an ATV through the desert was an exhilarating experience! There were 9 of us in our group & we booked this tour as a part of the celebration. We were picked up at a shop near the strip ($20 parking) & taken to the location. We were given a demo on operating the 4-wheelers & then rode off into the sun! The ride was very dusty, so be prepared. Wear something that can be cleaned easily & a scarf or mask for your face. The ride lasted about an hour & the tour guides were great w/the exception of Logan. He was very rude, doesn't know how to communicate w/guests & lacks people skills. We were rushed at the end to get back to the drop off location to pick up the nezt tour. Guests shouldn't be rushed simply because there's a failure to plan accordingly on the tour operators part. I would book this tour again, but w/a different tour guide.

Harry is the best...

LeTasha_P, Sep 2025
Harry is the best instructor. His directions were clear and on point. He was extremely patient with us newbies

The ride was very...

Kimberly_Y, Sep 2025
The ride was very entertaining and fun. They supply all the gear you will need. One thing it doesn’t show you until after you click on is the $changes it depends on the time and the number of people it is NOT $95 me and my party went at 12 pm and it was $160 each. Kenny is a good instructor and I will go again

Give it a go.

Debra_F, Sep 2025
We both loved this experience. Although I'm 68 and my friend who was 56 (both females) Kenny made us feel very comfortable. He gave us the confidence to just give it a go. So pleased. Gets dusty and is hot.
