Wonderfully Accommodating! - We’d visited Arizona Outdoor Adventure a few years ago with friends, and we were excited to come back with our kids (20 and 16). My oldest and my husband tore up on the ATVs! They were confident and comfortable, but when they did meet little snags (they killed their engines along the trail a couple times and weren’t sure what to do), Chris came to the rescue! My son, 6 foot 4, was too tall for the average ATV, and he was as uncertain in the bigger one. Chris got us geared up in a quad, and we were off! He was kind, knowledgeable, and funny! He made it a great outing! Thanks, Chris & Outdoor Adventures!

My first Solo dolo tour - I did my first Solo Dolo tour where it was just me and the guide and Holland did an amazing job from start, during, and finish. The trail and experience was well worth the booking.

Sami and Landon are awesome - This tour was extremely fun. I was in the wrong gear for a good amount of the tour, making it very challenging. However, Sami, my guide, made sure to continually check on me which made me feel much more secure. Landon was also helping, and was extremely quick to help anyone stalling. I would highly recommend this ATV tour, and try and go with Sami and Landon because they are super friendly and helpful.

Get dusty in the desert! - First time doing this guided UTV ride at Black Canyon City. Holland was our kind and capable guide. We were 2 couples in 2 seat UTVs. Appreciated the face/neck mask provided as the trail was very dusty. Also appreciated the stops along the way, pictures taken by Holland and bottle of water provided on the trek. The scenery was beautiful, saguaros and other cacti aplenty, river crossings and canyon portion were highlights. We felt the price was reasonable. The 2 hour ride was perfect for us. The group we rode with was fine. Holland had to deal with some other (unauthorized?) users on the trail and a short period where when one of our riders was unaccounted for briefly. She handled all things confidently and with grace.

Experience the Sonora desert—up close and personal. - We had a fabulous time! Holland was the group guide accompanied by Brandon. She did a great job teaching quad driving technique and at the scenic stop she did great explaining various features of the desert. The trail is pretty demanding but the speed is very manageable. They supply drinking water.

ATV desert guided tour - Lots of ATV fun. Went with family. Weather was beautiful and sunset undescribable. They provide ample ATV training before you embark on the trail ride. Loads of fun. Highly recommend.

Sadly disappointed - I am disappointed. Last year on my birthday I went for the guided tour with my daughter it was extremely fun the guides made you feel safe and interacted with you. This year I went back because of past experience. The guides did not interact they said a few words here and there. They were late to our tour. We stayed to long on the break at the top of the hill. The guide took the river bed where you went over river rocks for a distance instead of the trail. There were people that have never driven before they should have only been on trails. I am glad I went last year and had that experience. Over all the company is good. It was just disappointing to the point I will find a different tour place next year.
