While visiting the Phoenix area, what’s better than driving a 2-seated 2026 Polaris Trail Sport UTV over cool terrain with your best bud by your side? How about having a guide to lead the way so you don’t get lost! Our customer reviews on this desert adventure tour are through the roof! This isn’t some slow-speed, single file UTV tour. This is a smile-a-second adventure tour through super-cool desert track; rock gardens, sandy washes, twisty canyons, and technical two track. Bottled water and snacks will be provided at the mid way stop and drivers and passengers can swap at this point. On this adventure tour will also learn about the Flora and Fauna in Sonoran Desert and that the only place you can find the Saguaro Cactus is in The Sonoran Desert. We bring the buggies, the helmets, gators, water and snacks. You bring you and see why Desert Dog Offroad Adventures is the closest desert tour operator in the Phoenix and surrounding area!

5.00Did the sunset tour with Nick and Parker and it was amazing. They were on it with being informative and thinking of situations that may occur. Explained the best ways to drive and what to expect on the trails! During the ride Nick made sure the group was keeping up at all times and was cautious. It was the perfect mix of thrill seeking but view catching! Would love to do this tour AGAIN!
Nice family adventure.

4.00It was good - Mike was great. It was very dusty but the trail was fun. Could have more areas of going a bit faster - the size of your was good - only five quads plus leader - Only one water break - and we could have switched up who was in the quad behind the leader to share the dust.
We had a great time!! ...
