Itinerary
Tonto National Forest
Admission included120 min
You will meet us in the parking area at the trail head, once there you will check in, get kitted with your helmet and goggles, and go over a quick safety briefing so that you feel good about how to operate your vehicle.
Once everyone is ready to go you will follow your guide into the off road trails in the Tonto National Forest area where you will ride for 2 hours covering about 20 miles of trail.
Your guide will reorder the group after the first 10 minutes to be sure everyone can ride at their own pace, the vehicles can reach speeds of 40 mph, but not everyone likes to go that fast!
You will traverse sandy washes and blow up the dust while viewing the beautiful Sonoran Desert scenery.
Your guide will periodically stop you to give pointers on the upcoming terrain, make sure you are drinking water, and take photos of everyone in action.
After the tour you will return to the starting point where your car will be waiting for you.

Highly Recommend!
Stellar does an incredible job. They did a great job communicating directions & expectations and making it a stress free fun experience. We had a four person UTV on a 2 hour tour. We were lucky and there was only another UTV with us. My husband and I are in our 50s and we went with our 21 & 24 year old sons in a four person Kawasaki UTV. The UTV was in great shape, was responsive and fun with very comfortable well padded seats. All necessary equipment is provided including gators, googles, & helmets. Devo was a great guide a lot of fun and knowledgable. He stopped to give us instructions of how to take different trails, took pictures (free to download later) and provided us with water throughout the tour and stops to change drivers. We had opportunities to "open it up" and drive to capabilities. We went through a slot canyon, saw a lake, twisted through sandy turns and hard and loose rocks, and went up and down and straight of way at speeds from 0-40+ mph. Use common sense, and it's so much fun. The scenery is amazing. It's pricey. You'll get dusty and dirty, but it's worth it all and an experience we'll never forget. We all loved it! Thanks Devo! You're awesome!

NCAA tournament fun
We were in town for the NCAA final 4 and needed something to do between rounds. We decided to get ahold of Stellar Adventures and they did not disappoint. Our guide Devo was amazing and the whole team was awesome to be around. Our group consisted of experienced and not experienced riders. Everyone in our group had a blast on the tour. All the machines we road were brand new. We could not have asked for a better experience! Thank You Stellar team!

Arizona Summer Adventure
Colton was our tour guide and he was amazing. Professional and safe. He did a great job. This was our third experience with Stellar Adventures and each trip just keeps getting better. We have done ATV tours in the past but this trip we opted for the UTV. We were not disappointed. Everything from start to finish was great and the kiddos have not stopped talking about it. We were hesitant to go in the AZ summer but the team kept us cool and hydrated. Great experience for all levels of off roading experience. My advice is start of slow to get comfortable with the equipment; which the team is happy to accommodate. By the end of the tour you’ll be having the time of your life.

An amazing ride.
We chose Stellar Atv/UTV adventure for our ride last evening. We haven’t stopped talking about it yet. The scenery was breathtaking and the ride was amazing. Tom was a wonderful guide—knowledgeable of the desert and shared interesting information. We had so much fun — it was exciting for the drivers and the passengers. There were frequent stops to allow us to change positions. I highly recommend this company if you choose to try this adventure— it is great for a variety of ages (we ranged from 26 to 67).
Thanks for a great evening, Tom. If you find time to visit WV be sure to contact us— we will help you enjoy an exciting adventure, a little different scenery but just as beautiful. Susan, Terry, Jeff, Myrna, and Cody.
