Our guide Matt was the best! He took my husband & I off-roading to parts of Lake Mead Nat’l Park that the average tourist doesn’t get to see. He taught us how to use all the bells and whistles on the Ford Bronco in order to safely get up, down, and over any obstacles that we encountered. Matt’s knowledge of the Broncos’ capabilities is amazing, and he freely shared it with us. Matt knows the park very well and answered all of our questions about rock formations, the animals that live there, and the health of the lake. My husband and Matt, both military vets, talked nonstop about their experiences. We left the encounter feeling like we had made a friend. We 100% recommend this adventure!

Itinerary
Lake Las Vegas is a 320-acre reservoir in Henderson, Nevada with a 3,592-acre developed area around it. This tour will drive through the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and past Lake Las Vegas.
From here, drivers will continue to Boathouse Cove Road. This scenic trail is known for its distinctive landscape offering rugged shorelines, towering mountain ranges, eventually giving way to a panoramic view of the lake's sparkling waters. The scenic beauty makes it a popular destination for sightseeing, photography, and outdoor exploration! Keep your eyes peeled for Garfield Rock and enjoy a delicious lunch upon arriving to the cove. Remember, you are the driver of your own luxurious, climate-controlled Bronco fully equipped with Android & Apple Car Play and charging capabilities. Your trail leader will teach you safe driving techniques and has recovery gear and winches on hand should you get stuck. All Broncos are also equipped with CB-style radios to communicate throughout the tour experience.
Your adventure begins in the morning at our meeting point at Lake Las Vegas where all drivers will to wagon train to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. About 30 minutes into this drive, we will stop at Redstone Dune Loop Trail. This fiery, rugged, and weathered formation was once integral to a sprawling desert expanse. These dunes, which shaped the landscape, date back one hundred forty million years. Through the ages, geological processes transformed the soft dunes into durable sandstone structures. This will be our first stop along the way to Boathouse Cove Road. A great spot to step out and take some amazing photographs, stretch your legs, and use the facilities as needed.
Boathouse Cove Road is a 9.1-mile backcountry road that runs from Northshore Road south to the Virgin Basin of Lake Mead. Beautiful mountains and washes provide excellent scenery and photo opportunities. Be sure to watch for desert wildlife, including hawks, eagles, bighorn sheep, and more.

Matt is the greatest guide! He skillfully navigated my wife and I through a series of land navigation challenges and manned the camera to capture our experiences. He is also a veteran of a veteran owned company. We enjoyed the drive, lunch, and socializing! You can be a novice or expert at off-roading. Matt will show you how to do each obstacle, then jump out and walk you through the process, and help empower you to confidently tackle all challenges. I highly recommend the experience to all ages and skill levels. You can do it, and you should do it because we only live once, right?
This is a fantastic adventure. A must do. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Matt, our leader, is straight up fantastic. He is very knowledgeable of the area and even spied wild horses that we did not see. The bronco we drove was very comfortable and we might even buy one after this experience. At one point, we got to use the 4 wheel drive. We stopped for a beautiful lunch at lake Meade. There were several picture and video opportunities. All in all, great experience. We are so glad we chose this excursion to see the beautiful national park.
What a fun day! First off, Matt was extremely accommodating to move our tour out an hour since we were traveling a couple of hours for the tour. He had the Bronco running and cooled down for us on arrival. This was a very new and extremely clean Bronco...so much better than the rental Bronco we had!! Beautiful ride out to Lake Mead Recreation Area. We even had the chance to see some of the wild horses! Had a nice picnic lunch (provided by Buck'n Bronco) with a view of the lake and then headed back in...but had a little drama to deal with, (part bad luck-part lack of driver experience)...front tire dipped into a very soft spot on the trail and became a bit lodged and at somewhat of an angle...Matt was very calm, cool and collected and after making sure we were safely out of the Bronco, he showed us some recovery skills and was able to get us back out and running! Not what normally occurs on a tour, but good to know you are in very capable and professional hands if something does go a bit sideways...literally!!! This activity is something so completely opposite of what you normally think of in Vegas...it's a very short drive from the strip, but a world away in what you find...beautiful and pristine nature, a bit of adrenaline and can't wipe the smile off your face FUN!!!
This was sooo much fun! My wife and I booked in mid-April and we were going to switch out driving midway through, however, she was having so much fun, I just couldn't take it away from her. And besides, I was having a blast just riding along with her... Matt was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He took pictures for us, walked us through the little bit of crawling we had to do, fed us, he was very personable and just an all around great guy and guide. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do something off the beaten path in Vegas. We have been to Vegas countless times over the last 20 years and this will be, without a doubt, one of the best memories we have had.
So fun. So awesome to experience the desert and colors of the mountain ridges and colors. Had no idea the desert landscape could be so beautiful. And the guide was laid back, informative, and very accommodating
We had an amazing time. The weather was perfect and the views breathtaking. Our guide Matt even spotted Bighorn Sheep which is very rare to see. Definitely something to experience!! Don’t hesitate, book it.
Matt did a great job of directing and instructing us on the off-road segment. We felt comfortable and enjoyed the experience so much we want to do it again! The Bronco was an amazing vehicle, easy to manage and fantastic off-road. We were given lunch and lots of snacks and water which was appreciated in the hot desert!
It was a good offroad trip and exciting ,up steep hills and twisting turns and climbed a huge boulder ,out to lake mead boat launch area the Broncos handled it all with ease ,well worth the time to do
What can I say, what a fantastic, unique experience this was. One part Bronco, off roading, mix in a helicopter and a machine gun. I initially thought this was nuts but I can't describe how fun it was. These guys know how to provide an awesome time for their customers! If you are in Vegas with some time to spare, I highly recommend checking this place out!
We had such a great time. Matt was so friendly and knowledgeable about the scenery. I was a little bit nervous and Matt was patient and supportive when I was driving the bronco. We REALLY enjoyed getting off the strip for the day, enjoying some quiet and nature. Overall, a 10/10
I am so glad we did this! We spent the week in Vegas, but took one day to get out of the city. The views and photos were incredible. I would not hesitate to do this again and bring the kids. Our guide was great! Very informative, and since we had some extra time, he took us farther out. My husband was experienced in off-roading, but even if you have no experience this tour would still be great. You are in constant communication with your guide and he walks you through driving over the terrain. The Bronco's were awesome. They were very well maintained. We had a blast and it definitely was the highlight of my week.
Such a fun way to experience the Vegas outdoors! You get to drive your own Bronco the whole way (don’t worry, they’ll coach you through the tricky spots) and the desert views throughout the backcountry of Lake Mead NRA are awesome. Seeing wild horses out there was the icing on the cake! We had so much fun and I absolutely recommend this tour.
This was a great experience, Kirk and his team are all very friendly, knowledgeable and FUN. The tour was super fun and scenic. All their broncos are state of the art and kinda bad ass. We had an excellent time, I’d recommend this to anyone visiting Vegas.
The best experience with best off-road private tour in town! The adventure with the Broncos were amazing! 100 % recommend
I had a blast and met some great people on the tour. I won’t lie, I was a little nervous at first not knowing how difficult the trail was going to be, but the bronco was so easy and fun to drive. The tour guide was so friendly and helped direct me through the rougher terrain when needed, and my bronco had a front view camera which I really appreciated. It’s definitely off-roading in luxury. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a fun day. I’ll be back for another tour soon!
This was an amazing afternoon and the best time with my teen son. We enjoyed being able to drive a Bronco on our own with a guide leading the way. Lava Butte is absolutely beautiful. I’d recommend this to anyone and everyone. Definitely a Las Vegas bucket list adventure.
A unique experience, the journey was great, I was fascinated!!! I like off-road adventures and that one was spectacular!
