Had a blast! Our guide Ryan did a wonderful job. Super friendly and informative and made sure everyone on our tour had a good time. Loved the variety of scenery on the tour. Our tour was in the beginning of April, perfect weather.

Nice ride on the UTV, guides Don and Mike were great, it’s a dusty ride but well worth it, we had a perfect weather day

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 films, 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 was offering our group water and snacks. Our guide 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.

Mike was amazing! We had a complete blast! I highly recommend for a group or couple. We were able to switch drivers half way through. The views were stunning as well!

The ride was quite boring - just "following the tires" of the vehicle ahead of us. The guide in charge was not very nice. (The second guide was new and much nicer.) The view of the lake at the top of the trail was nice. We spent an action packed week in Scottsdale, and this was our most expensive, and least favorite activity. Would not do it again.

I had an awesome time on my UTV tour with Desert Dog Off-Road Adventures! The staff were incredibly nice and welcoming, making the whole experience enjoyable. The ride was really fun, with thrilling trails and beautiful desert scenery all around. It was a perfect mix of excitement and adventure, and I loved every minute of it. The UTVs were easy to drive, and I felt safe the entire time. If you're looking for a fun outdoor activity, I highly recommend checking out Desert Dog Off-Road Adventures. You won't be disappointed!
