The ATV experience was so fun! The trails were awesome and our guide was the best. We actually signed up for the unguided tour but at check in, they highly recommended the guided which goes a little longer and more opportunities to stop and take photos. Plus, he brought a cooler of water! Will absolutely do this again when I am in Arizona next!

Fun and Adventurous

Regina_M, Mar 2026
It was a fun adventurous ride. Long trail and exciting. I would suggest the UTVs and a guided tour. Very hot! Come prepared and stay hydrated. I did experience some heat exhaustion afterwards. Also, if you’re riding Uber or Lyft, book or do the coordinating before you start. There’s a sign that tells you but we saw it at the last minute and had to wait a while after we were done.

Must do in AZ!

The kids went out and said they'd go again. That's what I wanted to hear! They had a great time. We'll plan another trip next time we're visiting.

Great customer service. Great options as to what other things to do upon arrival. Allowed us to change from ATV to a UTV because of a incapable driver.

Exciting adventure

Heather_H, Aug 2025
We had such a fantastic time exploring the Arizona desert on ATVs, and Jesse was an incredible tour guide! He made sure everyone felt comfortable and included, checking in with each of us throughout the ride. We had a great mix of a little mud, a lot of laughs, and even came away with some great photos he took for us. Can’t wait to book another adventure!

Guided UTV tour

Heavenly_B, Jul 2025

Destiny_F, Jun 2025
My first time riding on a ATV. I think I did great. Almost made it all the way back to the starting point but physically couldn’t. Overall I had a blast. 10/10 I would definitely do it again. Shoutout to Brandon for keeping us safe at all times.

Amazing

Makayla_P, May 2025
Great experience! Guide was very helpful during the ride. Provided free water throughout the trip. Very fun!

What a experience

Owen_M, Jan 2025
Super fun I would highly recommend going a bit before sunset to get some good sightseeing and the staff was awesome and super friendly

Very fun.

Abbye_V, Dec 2024
We had so much fun! The trails were awesome. I can see how they might be intimidating for someone that has never driven an ATV, but the machines were powerful and we had no problems. We went unguided but the staff were very kind and helpful. My only suggestion would be to have a map of the trails.

Get yourself some Desert Moto Time!

Jeff_F, Dec 2024
We spotted a burro eating prickly pears! The one way trail labeled under the orange loop is the most fun! We did it several times! Definitely glad we picked the unguided ATVs as we were able to do a lot more riding and we weren't that interested in the flora and fauna info having just been to the arboretum the previous day.

Trailing it up in the desert

Joe_P, Dec 2024
What a great time. The views were spectacular! Watching my teenager tearing up the trails was priceless. We did the unguided tour and highly recommend!

Arizona outdoor fun ATV tour

Judy_N, Nov 2024
This was by far the most incredible ATB ride we’ve done. We have gone to different countries and ridden the ATVs, but this was the most challenging and most fun. Loved it! Our guides, Mike and James, were the absolute best!

Totally worth it

Victor_A, Nov 2024
Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire ride. They made sure everyone was prepared and ready before heading out to the trails.

Fun
