10/10 Definetly recommend - Our tour guide, Austin, was excellent. He was patient, kind, and well-spoken. The tour is well worth it; the ATVs/UTVs are in great shape, and the team is friendly and welcoming. 100/10 is recommended.

Perfect way to spend the morning - We had the best time on the tour. We changed from ATVs to UTVs because of the heat. It was the best decision. The views were amazing. Our guides were wonderful. They stopped several times to hand out water if needed.

Great tour guide - Austin was our tour guide and didn’t fail to explain the terrain and different types of cactuses. He made plenty of water breaks so we didn’t overheat. Very informative and made the trip 10x better. The ATV ride was really cool and had great views of the mountains and desert.

Just Book It - I did this excursion solo and I had an incredible time! Matt was our tour guide and he was absolutely awesome, he stopped at various spots to check in on us to make sure we’re good or if we needed water. If you fall too far behind he also stops to give you time to catch up or like what I observed today- he made his way back up the hill to assist another driver. I will 10/10 do this when I’m back in Arizona! Also check out the gun range, they have an amazing instructor. I’ve never held a gun before and with him I got the basic intro training to shoot a Glock, Rifle and Barrett. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking into ATVs & Shooting.

Sonoran Atv/Utv - I originally booked the sidewinder experience, which was Atv training. Jake was extremely helpful and thorough. I then decided that i wanted to go on the centipede tour but was not comfortable taking the Atv, so I was able to ride passenger with Jake in the Utv and it was such an amazing experience. Jake was knowledgeable, fun, friendly and always ensured that we were hydrated and comfortable in the heat. Sam was an amazing photographer and such a vibrant personality. Overall my experience was 10/10 and I recommend you take the trip, the views are immaculate

Centipede trail thoughts and tips - Austin was our guide and he was GREAT! Very attentive and helpful when needed! We did the UTVs since it was toooo hot to just be in ATVs and we followed the centipede trail which is more difficult than it looks! Very rocky and through high cliffs but as long as you aren’t going to crazy it’s fine! The guides offer us water and breaks through out so don’t worry too much about bringing water!
TIP: You will get super dusty so either cover up or wear swim-like material so that you can clean yourself with the hose! Have a towel ready for your car seat that way your car doesn’t get dirty! If you have any nose plugs or really good face mask use them!
10/10 experience

ATV/UTV Tour - The tour was amazing! Mayton was a fantastic tour guide. He was informative on the terrain, animals, and had some great stories that kept everyone engaged. Also, Jeff saved my wife with some quick thinking after she slid her ATV into a cactus and he quickly pulled the pricks out of her leg and used a local plant to help clean up the injury. Aside from the cactus mishap, it was a great day!!
