First and foremost I like that even though the time came near they were patient with those who were slightly behind! It’s a 30 minute grace period. Second the staff had GREAT ENERGY!!! Good personality and people skills. The guided ride was definitely a Vibe and was worth the money and high quality… I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Dirty Mike was awesome! Thank you look forward to coming back soon. 10/10
Went on this today with my son and it was awesome! Loved it!! Our guide was great too! Can’t wait to do it again!!
It was a bit scary at first but Matt and Kyle were amazing and made us feel safe. It soon became so much fun. We had a blast!!
Mayton was Ana amazing guide. We had the best time!
It happens rain or shine! Be prepared to get dusty and wet, if it does rain! My husband is in a wheelchair and had no problem getting into the UTV. We were even able to take his chair with us! However, it got pretty dusty! Loll! If anyone in your party has a disability, call ahead to see if you can drop that person off by the check in area. We did not do that so, it was quite a trek down the hill to check in. The guys were accommodating after the tour and allowed us to drop my husband off at the car! They went above and beyond to be helpful! Every employee we encountered was great! We would highly recommend this business and tours!
Ride was about 2 hours in total with 2 stops. 1 to take pics and the other was a nature lesson. I got scared a few times cause we were so far up. However this was probably the best utv tour I have ever taken. Our tour guide was great. I believe his name was Brandon.
Great experience! The 2hr guided ride is the perfect length for someone who wants to go out just for the experience or test the trails and terrain to decide to go out on their own.
Joe was a great guide. The view is spectacular.
Had a great time. The trail is bumpy but incredible drive. Incredible views and so many different kinds of cacti. Landon, our guide was great, informative at our stops and very helpful along the way. Entire staff very friendly and welcoming.
Chris was an awesome guide. The directions provided to the location, the safety equipment, and tour were great! Chris provided information about the area, helped us take pictures at the stops and provided water to make sure everyone was safe. We would use this company again if we travel to the Phoenix area.
Had a great time with Chris as our guide. He gave us some good history lessons on the mountains trees and the Cactus.
Absolutely amazing experience! We rode with Matt as our guide and he was awesome. It was just my son and I for the 7:00 tour and he was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring about making sure we had the best experience. It truly was God’s country and would do the 7 AM tour again. Thank you again for a memorable experience.
Such an amazing experience. Our tour guide was great as well super friendly and they definitely know what they’re doing! We loved every second of it.
If you are a thrill seeker and not afraid of dying by falling off a cliff, then this is the trip for you!!! Guides were great. Friendly staff and very organized!! Those who seek thrills will love this! I did not realize how dangerous it was from some of the reviews, so I want anyone to know that this is not for anyone who doesn't like heights or off roading. I thought I was booking a desert side by side ride, but boy was I wrong!
Books this adventure with my family everything went great utv were awesome. Our tour guy was funny and very informative about the Sonora desert.Would definitely recommend. I will definitely be booking again in the future
Great experience! You’re gonna be dusty by the end! Staff was friendly & knowledgeable! Saw a few animals - guide was pretty knowledgeable about the terrain.
The guides are amazing. Be ready for a bumpy exciting adventure. This was my first time and I was thrilled. The heights and curves had me on the edge of the seat.
Great experience! It was hot but they kept us hydrated the whole time! JB did an awesome job! The tour was fun and the facts he gave were definitely interesting
Amazing UTV excursion with breathtaking views and a fun, bumpy ride that’s absolutely worth it! Our guide Austin made the experience even better friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone was safe while still keeping it exciting. Highly recommend!
My mum and I did the centipede UTV guided tour last week and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. All the guys that work there were super friendly and chatty. Lorenzo, who took our tour group was really nice and super informative. He pointed out a lot of interesting landscapes, rocks, cactus and even a mountain lion track which was super cool!! He was really approachable and kept checking on the group making sure everyone was ok. Would 100% recommend!!
Hunter was our guide and did a fantastic job keeping us safe while having a lot of fun. We are a 60-year-old couple who have never done UTV before and we had the best time. Highly recommend this group and the centipede tour.
Great experience! Landon was our guide and he was amazing and super knowledgeable. I would definitely book with this company when I’m back!
The guys working at this place were lots of fun and very caring. My elderly mom, who needed help, was helped by 3 different guys to make sure the experience was perfect. The trail we went on was so much fun! There were only a couple times that made me cringe, but it wasn’t bad at all. My mom had a BLAST! And when we were done, one of the guys ran us back to our car to make for another easy transition. Thank you for an excellent tour! Definitely recommend!!
great experience one ill never forget definitely enjoyed myself me and my wife came down for the first time and really had fun
This experience was AMAZINGGGGG! JB was a great guide. We found his knowledge and humor the best part. The trail was not difficult at all and the UTV was like riding a car in the desert lol.
This tour is a great! My family and I chose the UTV option. It's very dusty so prepare to get dirty! Lots of steep areas on the trail so make sure you or your driver are comfortable going up & down steep hills. Shoutout to Brennen! He is an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable about the area and terrain!
Amazing and fun! We had so much fun and so glad we decided to do the UTV instead. I’m happy they allowed my 17yr old to drive. Austin and Jeff were awesome guides. Highly recommend this company.
If you’re scared of heights or going back down steep hills, don’t go. This is beginner daredevil approved. I suggest a utv if you’ve never been on an ATV. We had so much fun!
You are going to get dirty. Would do it again. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Bj was a great guide.
Great choice for an adrenaline rush with anyone. Joe was great, my girlfriend and I had lots of fun!
We did a sunset tour and it was amazing. My wife and I had a wonderful evening. Our guide Guillaume was fantastic and everything felt very safe. The machines are new and they look incredible with the lights. I highly recommend it
I recommend mayton is the best trust me you won’t be disappointed he’s full of life and positivity and he’s going to guild you with safety
Amazing ride on the guided UTV!! Worth the time and money. Mayton was an amazing guide. Easy to get to.
Easy, great guide, fun experience!
Our guide, Joe, was very experienced, knowledgeable and fun. The course was challenging and exhilarating without being too hard. This was our first time on the UTV and we had a blast.
Amazing Experience! So fun and adventurous. JB was a great guide! 10/10 recommend.
This was an absolute blast! The company was a top notch group of guides. We used the UTV and it was great. Comfortable and powerful enough to get through the toughest areas.
Guided Centipede UTV tour through the Sonoran Desert. It was absolutely awesome. Great guide, terrain, and environment.
UtV guided tour is well organized, professional guides help you in case you struggle with the UTV. The tour itself ia woulderfu, nice landscape - highly recommended
This was so super fun, Matt was our Guide and he was so knowledgeable and helpful! Would absolutely 10/10 recommend and want to go again!
Overall, the tour was well organized, and our guide Lorenzo was friendly and professional. Bottled water was readily available, which we appreciated, especially in the desert heat. We also enjoyed seeing the desert scenery and wildlife, including cows, donkeys, and even a snake. However, the experience did not fully match the description. There was no education about the region’s plant life, wildlife, or history during the ride. Additionally, helmets were not provided—only goggles and a face covering. The biggest challenge was the ride itself. Because this is a “centipede” tour, you are required to stay close behind the UTV in front of you. With four UTVs ahead of us, the amount of dust and fuel fumes was overwhelming. At times, I felt close to getting sick from the smell and the constant dirt in the air. Even with goggles and the face mask, dust was still getting into my eyes and nose, and I believe a helmet would have made a difference in my comfort. The trails were also extremely rough, with large and sharp rocks, deep dips, and uneven terrain. There was even signage indicating the trail is intended for experienced UTV riders. Given that, I was surprised there weren’t more safeguards in place to help reduce risk—especially since riders are financially responsible for any damage to the vehicle. The combination of sharp, rugged terrain, limited visibility from dust, and the requirement to ride closely behind others made the experience feel more risky than it needed to be. I was honestly surprised no one ended up with a flat tire. We’ve rented UTVs in Utah and California before and preferred those experiences. While there were some enjoyable moments on this tour, we would not choose to do it again. If we were to book with this company in the future, we would opt for a non-guided tour to avoid the dust and fumes from riding directly behind other vehicles.
2 hours was perfect. Do as they advise - bring water, wear proper attire (i wore long sleeves and long pants), proper shoes. I recorded my drive - nothing great to mount the camera on but I held it with an extender and that worked perfect. Since I was solo, the site changed me from UTV to ATV, but when I checked-in the instructors were very nice to move me back to UTV (very different vehicles to drive). The guide was great - went fast enough to let us go at our pace but also not too far that we got lost. We do go in a line but you can leave space to give a better experience driving up and around. At one of the stops, the guide provided us lots of information on living off the desert and he was willing to take pictures of us and our vehicle. It was a great experience. I love driving off-road now.
We had so much fun doing the guided UTV tour! Perfect activity for our trip to Arizona. Was even more fun than we anticipated. Austin was an awesome tour guide. The best experience!
We had a great time on the side by side guided tour. The views were incredible! You will get dusty so wear appropriate clothing (they give you facemask and goggles). Be mindful of securing an uber/lyft prior. Not a lot of drivers in that area. Austin was our guide and was amazing.
This was an incredible experience, from the moment we checked in until the end. Bryan, our guide, was fantastic and genuinely passionate about the environment and conservation of the Arizona desert. I would definitely do this again without hesitation. The price was also incredibly reasonable for the two-hour tour.
Bryan was an amazing guide! The ride includes taking the ATV or UTV on steep terrain at times and the tour was overall totally worth it.
Joe was our tour guide and he was great! Made sure the group stayed together and respected the trails. Would be nice if they offered beginner, intermediate and advance courses for drivers though. We came close to hitting guy in front of us because he’d just STOP for no reason and the girls behind us almost hit us twice. My husband is an advanced driver on these, but we still totally enjoyed it and do recommend it. It was really fun, especially going through the stream! Thanks guys!
We had an absolutely incredible time on the Desert UTV Tour in Black Canyon, AZ! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. Being fully immersed in the beauty of the desert landscape was something special—the scenery was breathtaking, with amazing views in every direction. Riding through the trails was an absolute blast, with the perfect mix of excitement, adventure, and stunning nature. A huge shoutout to our guides, JT and Austin, who made the whole experience even better. They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having an amazing time. If you’re looking for a fun and memorable way to experience Arizona’s desert beauty, this tour is a must-do. We’d recommend it to anyone and would absolutely do it again!
This was an amazing and beautiful experience!! Bryan with a “Y” and not a “I” made the ride truly unforgettable! 12/10 definitely book with Arizona outdoor fun!
