The best

Ride was about 2 hours in total with 2 stops. 1 to take pics and the other was a nature lesson. I got scared a few times cause we were so far up. However this was probably the best utv tour I have ever taken. Our tour guide was great. I believe his name was Brandon.

Great experience! The 2hr guided ride is the perfect length for someone who wants to go out just for the experience or test the trails and terrain to decide to go out on their own.

Fun Day Date

Chris was an awesome guide. The directions provided to the location, the safety equipment, and tour were great! Chris provided information about the area, helped us take pictures at the stops and provided water to make sure everyone was safe. We would use this company again if we travel to the Phoenix area.

Amazing backcountry experience

Absolutely amazing experience! We rode with Matt as our guide and he was awesome. It was just my son and I for the 7:00 tour and he was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring about making sure we had the best experience. It truly was God’s country and would do the 7 AM tour again. Thank you again for a memorable experience.

Thrill seekers only!!!!

If you are a thrill seeker and not afraid of dying by falling off a cliff, then this is the trip for you!!! Guides were great. Friendly staff and very organized!! Those who seek thrills will love this! I did not realize how dangerous it was from some of the reviews, so I want anyone to know that this is not for anyone who doesn't like heights or off roading. I thought I was booking a desert side by side ride, but boy was I wrong!
