UTV with Rich - Easily 5 stars for Rich—and if I could give more, I would! We had the absolute privilege of doing a private sunrise tour with Rich, and it was hands-down one of the most memorable parts of our trip. Despite a light rain (which honestly made the whole experience better—no dust, no blazing sun), Rich brought the energy and knowledge like it was a blue-sky day. From the start, he went above and beyond—taking us to bonus off-the-map locations, pointing out wildlife like jackrabbits and cattle, and teaching us all about the native desert plants. But this wasn’t just textbook info—Rich gave us live demonstrations, showing which plants are toxic, which are medicinal, and how locals have used them for generations. It was like a science, history, and survival class all in one. What made it even more meaningful? Rich is military, and we’re deeply grateful for his service. It showed in his professionalism, humility, and leadership throughout the tour. This wasn’t just a sightseeing trip—it was a full sensory, soul-filling experience with someone who clearly knows and loves the land. If you’re considering this tour, request Rich. Thank us later.

Excellent place! - There a many, many off road rental companies in the region and after much research, I decided on Arizona Outdoor Fun and I was not disappointed. The primary advantages I found, aside from the competitive (not necessarily cheapest) pricing were twofold: firstly, their minimum age for drivers is 16. This allowed two additional drivers in my group to enjoy (and boy, did they!). Secondly, their terrain seemed more challenging and exciting than other outfits, who even though may offer longer rental time, don't offer diverse terrain (from my investigating). We chose the guided tour over the self-guided as the guided tour explore much more terrain than they allow the self-guided rentals to explore. The area for the self-guided tours is not exciting enough. Don't bother. The guided tour, led by the most excellent, patient and responsible guide, Erik, was great. My entire party of all ages (24 through 9) had a blast. There was approximately 1.5 hours of driving time and it was sufficient. All my kids got a thrill bumping and driving and taking great pictures. They provide googles and a dust mask which is a lifesaver (you will get VERY dusty). If my kids would want to do it again, I'd use these guys. You won't go wrong.

Matt made me feel not so scared of riding the atv on the mountains & etc. he was telling us about the species that are around that area , & he just made me & my group feel really safe during this time lol. So he deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion . He deserves the worlds trust

Our Arizona experience - Mr. Mayton was an incredible tour guide! He excelled in every aspect of the tour, from teaching us how to ride the ATVs to guiding us safely through the desert. His knowledge of desert facts was fascinating, and he made the entire experience both fun and safe. I highly recommend him!
