Overview

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.

A Christmas to remember

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing experience. My kids and I had a blast. We will definitely do this again. ...................

Side by Side through Desert Fun.

Published on Jun, 2024

This side by side tour through the Sonoran Desert was so much fun! It’s a great way to experience the desert and all the saguaros, roadrunners and whatever else you might run across! Guides were very informative, friendly and knowledgeable. We would do it again. The only thing that was a ridiculous cost was getting a driver from our hotel in Phoenix. It was highly recommended not to use UBER or LYFT because the location was coordinates on a map and so it’s hard for the driving companies to find it to get you there. We ended up using a person they recommended and it cost $175 PLUS tip. We were picked up in a LYFT car. The driver was a super nice guy, nothing against him but save yourself some moolah and use a regular LYFT or UBER driver.

Dirty and exciting ride!

The guides were great. Very informative and stressed safety. If I visit Arizona again, this will be #1 on my to do list again. Had a blast.

Lifetime memory

Published on Apr, 2024

Enjoyed this experience with my daughter and granddaughters as part of my birthday celebration trip. Our guide was great - friendly, patient, helpful, informative and so knowledgeable. Desert Dog so accommodating to schedule us around the inclement weather. Sunset pictures to remember for a lifetime.

Awesome Experience

This was a great experience! Ryan was knowledgeable, fun, and safe. The ATVs were really cool and we learned a lot about the desert as well!
