Amazing UTV excursion with breathtaking views and a fun, bumpy ride that’s absolutely worth it! Our guide Austin made the experience even better friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still keeping it exciting. Highly recommend!

My mum and I did the centipede UTV guided tour last week and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. All the guys that work there were super friendly and chatty. Lorenzo, who took our tour group was really nice and super informative. He pointed out a lot of interesting landscapes, rocks, cactus and even a mountain lion track which was super cool!! He was really approachable and kept checking on the group making sure everyone was ok. Would 100% recommend!!

Shayla_J, May 2026
This tour is a great! My family and I chose the UTV option. It's very dusty so prepare to get dirty! Lots of steep areas on the trail so make sure you or your driver are comfortable going up & down steep hills. Shoutout to Brennen! He is an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area and terrain!
Dacoria_E, May 2026
If you’re scared of heights or going back down steep hills, don’t go. This is beginner daredevil approved. I suggest a utv if you’ve never been on an ATV. We had so much fun!
Rhonda_G, May 2026
You are going to get dirty. Would do it again. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Bj was a great guide.

John_M, Apr 2026
We had a great time on the side by side guided tour. The views were incredible! You will get dusty so wear appropriate clothing (they give you facemask and goggles). Be mindful of securing an uber/lyft prior. Not a lot of drivers in that area. Austin was our guide and was amazing.
Varun_K, Apr 2026
Bryan was an amazing guide! The ride includes taking the ATV or UTV on steep terrain at times and the tour was overall totally worth it.
