Fantastic! Do it! - If you love off-roading and great views, you’ll love this! If you’ve never gone and you’d like to try, this is a great opportunity to! They tell you everything you need to know to be comfortable driving before you leave the parking area. They are down-to-earth, skilled drivers and guides. The views are fabulous. The drive was a lot of fun, and our guide (Parker) was just the best. He took a ton of pictures for us and was just great to be around. We would definitely do another tour with this company. Highly recommend!

I had a blast! - I had so much fun on this off-road adventure. Before the tour starts, they set you up with helmets and gator masks so you won’t be breathing in all of the dust. Your vehicle has a glove box to store your phones, wallets or anything else you choose to bring with you. Please keep in mind that it does get dusty. I went with my husband and we both shared a UTV. I let him do the driving so I could enjoy the scenery. The trail is full of sand, bumps, dust, and beautiful views of the Sonoran desert and it was exactly what I was looking for. There was one stop on the tour and our guide, Mike, was offering our group water and snacks. Mike was very kind and cool to talk to. He was very knowledgeable about the desert and all the vegetation. He gave me great advice on how to care for my cholla cactus that I picked up 13 years ago. I definitely recommend this adventure

The best part of our trip! - Went for a bachelorette and had the best time! Clear instructions for how to get there and check in. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and made us feel very safe. Our guide, Don was the absolute best! He was more than happy to take the coolest pictures for us and even shared some knowledge of the desert and surrounding area. Would definitely book with them again!!

Mad max fury road fun! - Super fun! Amazing views. Caught the sunset and the spectacular colors. Guides taught us about wildlife and cute cacti. We would do this again. Advice: wear clothes you don’t care about getting dusty and go pee before starting! Even though hubby drove, I felt like in mad max movie
