Amazing family-friendly adventure. Doug was an exceptional, incredibly knowledgeable guide. Our littlest one (8) was pumped to have completed her first legit hike and learn all about the native landscape. Thanks Mad Desert Trekking!
Lars, family goals achieved! 🤜💥🤛 There's nothing we love more than seeing the next generation of explorers get "pumped" about the outdoors. We're glad you and your family had a blast with your guide Doug. Thanks for choosing us for your family adventure! 🌄 — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🏜🦎☀️🌵
Hiked as a family on spring break. The views were amazing and Curtis was a great guide!!! We would highly recommend hiking with him.
Melissa, we're so glad your guide Curtis helped make your Family Fun Guided Hiking Adventure great and your spring break one to remember! Happy trails! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
We had the most amazing time on our family guided hike! Michael was our guide and was absolutely incredible! Our kids (ages 4 and 9) loved the experience just as much as we did. They learned the difference between all the different types of cacti and continued to point them out for the rest of our time in Arizona. Michael was knowledgeable and happily answered all the many questions from our kiddos along the way. This experience was definitely a highlight of our trip, and we fully intend to schedule another guided hike the next time we’re in Arizona! 10/10 recommend!
Melissa, wow! Your review truly made our day! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great excursion in the Sonoran Desert on the Family Fun Guided Hiking Adventure with your guide Michael. We're glad the experience so enjoyable and educational for both you and your children. Thank you so much for the perfect 10/10 recommendation! We would absolutely love to welcome you and your family back for another guided hiking adventure the next time you're in Arizona! — Matt Kalina | Owner | Mad Desert Trekking | Scottsdale, AZ | Intense Human-Powered Sonoran Desert Adventures 🌄🦎☀️🌵
We went on a 2 hour family hike this morning (2 adults, 1 teen, and 1 preteen). Henry was our guide. He a great job of communicating beforehand and he had backpacks and water for us at the meeting point. He was very nice, knowledgeable of the area, and was great at pointing out things and answering questions along the way . He also took some photos along the way and shared them with me afterwards. The hike was a nice pace and duration for us and we learned a lot. I recommend this hike for families!

We had a fantastic experience. Jay was the best guide. We have two young kids and he kept them very entertained and safe. We all loved our hike!

We truly enjoyed the entire experience! Jay was well informed and we enjoyed his stories. We had 4 adults and my daughter, 9yo, she did great! We chose a sunset hike knowing we would hike down shortly after sunset. Jay was well prepared had water and snacks for everyone as well as walking sticks and headlamps for everyone. This was a great hike for beginners. The last 15 mins or so, possibly less, is when we used the headlamps. My daughter thought it was cool and fun. I highly recommend Jay! He made the hike fun, informative and he took lots of pictures for us.
Patricia, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your positive experience with your guide Jay!
