The ATV tour with Desert Dogs was great. Well organized, great communication and instruction. Ryan was our guide and he was outstanding. We appreciated his knowledge of the Samoan desert, its history and plant life. Plus , the ATV ride was a blast. Highly recommend.

Visited AZ for annual girls trip and booked two 2 person UTV with Desert Dog Offroad Adventures. We booked the 9am timeslot and met our tour guide Ryan at the trailhead. Ryan was extremely personable, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. The UTV were in great condition and so much fun to drive. Thank you Ryan and Desert Dog for an awesome experience. Highly recommend!!!
I had an amazing time on the sunset side-by-side desert tour! Chris was a fantastic guide and made me feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the experience. As a solo female traveler, that meant a lot and allowed me to relax and enjoy the adventure. The desert at sunset was beautiful, and I came away with some amazing photos and videos. Highly recommend, especially if you’re considering going solo!
We had the best time. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Lots of fun, great views of the mountains and we even got to see a young bald eagle! Our guide Ryan and was fantastic and pointed out lots of different things and told us a lot about the area.
A great desert ride! Did this 5 years ago and loved it!! The machines are awesome and handled the rocks and terrain like a charm. Plenty of speed and a two hour trip. Ryan, our guide was wonderful, helpful and very friendly. Would highly recommend this to anyone! Thanks for the adventure!
This was a great experience!… Ryan was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone stayed safe, while having a great time!
Our guide Ryan was awesome. Friendly, fun and shared his knowledge of the area and wildlife. Just a nice and knowledgeable guy. They welcomed our last minute scheduling and set up a private excursion for us. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a little fun and adventure.
Ryan made my experience a 100/10! He gave us a lot of fun facts about the area and made the whole ride so much more enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had an amazing time. The views were incredible, and the ATV ride was such a fun experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an exciting adventure in Arizona!
Amazing experience through the scenic dessert. We had the best time and our guide Ryan was the man along with his team. Super helpful making sure we were ok and having a blast. Would totally do it again!
This tour definitely took me out of my comfort zone and gave me an experience that I will never forget. I had never an ATV before and the desert terrain provided some really scary turns and bumps, but as soon as I got used to it, it was a it was a time.Ryan and Parker were amazing guides. I followed Ryan for the tour and he was constantly checking in to make sure I was OK and the other people were as well. Definitely a must do.
This is an awesome experience!! I recommend anyone coming to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area to contact them and make a reservation. Michelle was awesome to work with and made scheduling so easy. Ask for Ryan as your guide. He is the BEST!!! So knowledgeable and fun!!
Had a great time Mike was a great tour guide!!

Ryan and Mike were awesome! Thank you for a great experience. My entire party and I had a great time.
This excursion was by far one of my favorite ever traveling. The scene, the accommodations and the overall experience were unforgettable. Mike and Ryan were amazing tour guides that were entertaining, informative and efficient. 100% would recommend this to anyone debating to book this experience.
Very dusty and hard to see at times but that added to the fun experience. Have the second person take pictures along the way.
Had an incredible time on our buggy tour! My daughter loved the many, many bumps along the way. Ryan was a wonderful guide who gave us clear instructions and took a great photo of us in the desert. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable family adventure in AZ, this is it. Thanks, Ryan and Desert Dog!

Mike was great!!! We had a blast!
We had the best time with Mike at Desert Dog Off-Road Adventures for our bachelorette UTV tour! He was incredibly thoughtful and focused on safety while still making the experience so fun and exciting. He was especially encouraging and patient with a few of our more skittish girls, which made everyone feel comfortable and confident on the trails. The ride was a blast and the views were absolutely gorgeous, such a fun and memorable highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!
Amazing adventure… scenery was incredible. Our guide, Mike, was awesome, knowledgeable and fun. Thanks for a perfect ride!
I highly recommend Desert Dog! Our guide was Mike and he was really great. He was kind and funny but also very clear about what he needed from us to create a fun and safe outing. I’m a pretty aggressive driver and the speed was just right. Fast enough that you had to stay focused and got to enjoy the machine but not so fast as to be scared. Everything about the outing exceeded our expectations!!
We had a wonderful time! It was a great way to see some amazing sights. Our tour guide, Mike, was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional! We highly recommend this company!!
What an amazing experience! If you get the chance to do any off-road adventure this is the one you need to choose. Mike was an amazing guide. He made sure everyone was having fun and safe. The sunset ride was absolutely beautiful.
The best experience ever!! Mike was a great tour guide! Beautiful views!! 10/10! The desert was a super cool thing to see.
My Boyfriend and I had an absolute blast on the ATV desert sunset tour! The ride itself was a lot of fun and the desert views at sunset were stunning. Our tour guide, Mike, was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. He really made the experience even better. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something fun and memorable to do in the the Pheonix /Scottsdale area!
Mike was a great guide. He drove safely and quickly and we all followed having a ball. Learned a lot about the desert at the break. Awesome time
Our dune buggy experience in Arizona was absolutely unforgettable! Steve and Parker were fantastic guides—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made us feel safe while still keeping the ride exciting and full of adventure. The desert views were stunning, and the whole experience was well organized from start to finish. I can’t recommend this enough for anyone looking for fun, excitement, and great people to share it with!!
It was very fun, so nice to pilot brand new machinery that takes the bumps pretty good! They split us up into smaller groups which was nice, the views were amazing and so was our guide. Definitely recommend.
Ryan was our guide and it was fantastic. Great tour, his insights into the dessert and all of the things we pasted was a huge added benefit. I would highly recommend it.
Really fun and totally worth it!! Ryan was an excellent tour guide and he was very knowledgeable! The views were awesome and overall a really fun time for everyone!
I had an incredible experience with Desert Dog Off-Road Adventure, thanks to Mike. From start to finish, the adventure was exciting, well-organized, and absolutely unforgettable. Mike’s knowledge, professionalism, and passion for off-roading made the experience both fun and safe, while still delivering plenty of adrenaline and stunning desert views. It was an awesome, high-energy adventure that exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend Desert Dog Off-Road Adventure to anyone looking for a truly memorable off-road experience.
We had so much fun for my husband’s birthday! The trail was a blast, easy but very adventurous. Ryan and our other guide (I’m sorry I can’t remember your name!) were very knowledgeable and were very funny. I highly recommend this trip.
Great experience! We had a blast! Ryan did a great job! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..:………///../…………..
Absolutely fabulous experience! The guides were great. We went out in the rain and it was still so fun!
Simply. Amazing. It was so much fun and I highly recommend it! The views were beautiful and an experience you will never forget.
This experience was a first for both me and my wife. The guide gave clear and simple instructions for safely operating our UTV. The rentals were newer, had smooth suspension and had aggressive traction for the sandy trails.
Very fun if you like adventure but look to be a good dirty bird afterwards. LOL Michelle and Don were very helpful and accommodating!
Such a fun time!! Went for a bachelorette and had the best time! Our guide Mike was awesome. We all had a blast. Highly recommend!
This was a great excursion. Went with some friends and my husband. Beautiful scenery. We had Mike and Ryan as our guides. They were amazing. They made the tour 10/10.
