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!!

Awesome time on the centipede tour!

Hunter was our guide and did a fantastic job keeping us safe while having a lot of fun. We are a 60-year-old couple who have never done UTV before and we had the best time. Highly recommend this group and the centipede tour.

Thanks for the perfect time!! Had the time of our lives!

The guys working at this place were lots of fun and very caring. My elderly mom, who needed help, was helped by 3 different guys to make sure the experience was perfect. The trail we went on was so much fun! There were only a couple times that made me cringe, but it wasn’t bad at all. My mom had a BLAST! And when we were done, one of the guys ran us back to our car to make for another easy transition. Thank you for an excellent tour! Definitely recommend!!

First time UTV riders, BEST TIME EVER!!

This experience was AMAZINGGGGG! JB was a great guide. We found his knowledge and humor the best part. The trail was not difficult at all and the UTV was like riding a car in the desert lol.
