About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- M8942CHdougm0 contributionsAwesome ride and experience.We had a wonderful time on the UTV ride. The scenery of the ride was great and our guides Mayton and Rob were very attentive and did a great job showing the way around. Felt very safe with the equipment and ppe they offered. Strong recommend for anyone in the area.Written 5 October 2024
- 416lillianr0 contributionsRob is the best!Rob was awesome, informative and fun! Thank you so much! Definitely will request him when we come again! Nice scenery and fun trails.Written 2 October 2024
- tranter900 contributionsDo it!It was fun! Staff were helpful. We happened to go on a day that was 120 degrees! The staff helped us switch to side by side instead of atv's without an issue. 100% would recommend this again. Dylan our guide was so great!!Written 30 September 2024
- N2157WYmayaa0 contributionsA MUST!Joe was such an amazing tour guide! I went on this tour back in February of 2024 and it’s was way more than everything I ever imagined. The views was stunning, and being able to stop at certain checkpoints to get pictures was even better. This is an activity I would do over and over again if I’m ever In Arizona. 10/10 I would totally recommend!Written 26 September 2024
- E5515ZMdanielf0 contributionsFun adventureWas such an incredible adventure!!! Never thought we would go through easy to extreme riding. Can’t wait to do it all over again on my next trip to Arizona. Thanks Joe you were an amazing guided.Written 25 September 2024
- danisM6158IO0 contributionsDONT SECOND GUESS THIS, YOU WONT REGRET IT!!!!!!Absolutely *mind-blowing* experience with Matt at Arizona Outdoor Fun Adventures! Took my son on a UTV tour this morning for his 15th birthday, and let me tell you--Matt didn't just lead the tour; he *made* the tour. Hands down, one of the best experiences of our lives. This was our first time ever doing something like this, and Matt made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met him. I suffer from severe anxiety, so I was a bit nervous going into it, but Matt's calm and friendly vibe totally put me at ease. Then, as if things couldn't get more epic, Matt casually picks up a diamondback rattlesnake with his *bare hands*. My son's life? Completely made. And Matt didn't just show off--he saved the animal and safely relocated it. Absolute hero status. Matt was like a walking, talking desert encyclopedia--dropping knowledge bombs left and right about plants, animals, and even rocks (yeah, rocks! And it was actually fascinating). The guy's enthusiasm is infectious, and he clearly LOVES what he does. Honestly, Matt needs to be a *lead* guide around here. He's part stunt driver, part nature guru, part snake whisperer, and all-around legend. We can't wait to come back and tour with him again! If you're booking a tour and Matt isn't your guide, I feel bad for you.Written 23 September 2024

- Voyager3200820 contributionsHighly recommend this tour!We had an absolute blast on our guided UTV tour with Arizona Outdoor Fun Adventures and Tours! Bryan, our tour guide, was fantastic and clearly has a passion for what he does. He made the experience even more enjoyable by stopping a few times to share interesting facts about the Bradshaw Mountains, local wildlife, and the unique cacti in the area. The UTVs were so much fun to drive, and the course was exciting and adventurous. When we stopped, we were able to take some scenic pictures of the beautiful desert, which made it even more special. This is such a beautiful and thrilling way to see the desert. Highly recommend this tour!Written 22 September 2024

Waited well over an hour from our start time to even get onto the trail and did less than half due to the time. They preach that they won’t let ppl on the atvs but they let a person who stalled over ten times. Had to cancel our personal dinner reservations and when I approached the manager he explicitly states there’s nothing he could do. Definitely not worth the money, would not recommend, you could definitely spend that money doing something more worth it.

There are many options for UTV rentals, but with Arizona Outdoor you get your money's worth! Honestly, they are VERY affordable compared to other outfitters. UTV's were in great condition, easy to drive, with great shocks. We covered all types of terrain (water crossings, canyon passage, up rocks/sand, you name it we did it). I took my mom b/c she can't hike the trails and this way she could get out in the desert and see God's amazing creation. It was the highlight of trip. We did one stop at a highpoint for a quick history lesson, water break (provided), and ecology lesson. Jake was a great guide. I would not do the unguided version b/c you will miss out on so much. The two hours flew by. So January isn't the warmest time of year in AZ, People... be smart, don't wear biking shorts and a crop top to go 4-Wheelin' in the Sonoran desert! Jake gave the shirt off his own back so a girl didn't freeze her **** off. It was 50 and I was so glad I had gloves, the dust mask (even though it wasn't dusty) and a windproof jacket on. They provide the mask and goggles. No helmet required for UTV's.

Soo this was my first time in Arizona in mid September, and my partner and I were planning on coming to this location all the way from east coast. My partner and I had booked the trip about 4 days before the event and was pretty bummed out they only had 11am and 6am (We had been looking for at least 3 weeks prior) and was sooo bummed out they only had 6am and 11am, (we wanted to do atv rentals in the desert for sunset around 7pm for the views)but we thought to ourselves let’s just take advantage of the oppurtunity to just have the whole day ahead of us so we can explore.
We finally arrive and meet Christian , an we thought we would be riding with other peopel. turns out, it was just us and chris was ourr private tour guide. We avoided the heat…and all that. I’ll sum it up with, It was soo nice to meet a person who has passion for his job and is very knowledgable about the plants, and the terrain. Took his time, and is patient, a great rider/trainer. Also, Christian, you truly have exceeded our expectations and he even took pictures of us!! He let us be us. He gives you the freedom also while being safe. He suggested a great local restaurant, and you get 10% off. Explained everything thoruoughly and in detail. Please Book the earliest appointment if you are with family or couples for the “We got our money’s worth feeling”

The entire experience was fantastic. This is a first class tour and the staff is well trained and gives out excellent instructions, They are all very friendly and keep you well informed of what you need to do in your UTV. Our guide Rich was fantastic. Made sure we were all staying together and had the necessary instructions needed when going up or down hill in the rugged terrain. I highly recommend this tour company, you cannot go wrong. Pricing is also very good.

I had an incredible experience with Arizona Outdoor Fun. The group of men working there were truly amazing. My family and I had a guided tour at 7:00 am with plans to ride two single ATVs and one UTV. However, upon arriving, we decided to switch to one UTV so we could all be together. The staff was very accommodating and allowed us to make the change right away.
Our tour guides, Mayton and Jesse, were fantastic. They took great care of us, making sure we stayed hydrated and even took photos of my family for us. They were incredibly sweet and thoughtful throughout the entire experience.
Unfortunately, we encountered a problem when we got locked out of our car. With the temperature reaching 95 degrees outside, it was quite a stressful situation. However, every single person at Arizona Outdoor Fun came to our aid, doing their best to help us open the car while we waited for road assistance to arrive. Although they couldn't open the car, they allowed us to wait at the seating area for about 90 minutes. Mayton kept checking up on us and making sure we were okay. To our surprise, Mayton offered to drive us to Rock Springs Cafe so we could cool down and grab some food. Both Jesse and Mayton drove us there, showing their exceptional kindness and hospitality.
After an hour, road assistance finally arrived, and Mayton even came back to the parking lot to ensure that my family and I were alright. I cannot express enough how much these men helped us during this challenging situation.
Aside from the car mishap, the tour and shooting experience at Arizona Outdoor Fun were absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend visiting this place without any hesitation. The level of service and care provided by the staff, especially Mayton and Jesse, was truly exceptional.

We had so much fun! Came here with my family to ride UTVs/ATVs and we all had a blast. The kids were screaming, they had so much fun! We arrived around 8:45 and it was a bit chilly but it did warm up. We will definitely be back.
Josh was awesome, gave very clear instructions and checked in with us and asked the kids if they had fun. The staff is super friendly, and don’t mind taking photos for you. I also want to shout out the lady at the counter, she was so sweet and very helpful.

This outdoor tour was awesome! My husband and I had a great time and we were able to see some wildlife while we were out on the UTV. We will definitely do this again when we go back and visit AZ. Greg did a great job leading the tour and stopping at areas with views and giving a little history that goes with it!

100% recommend! I’ve never driven a UTV and it was so easy and enjoyable. There were no nerve wracking moments- just pure fun. Mayton was a superb guide, even fixed a flat in under 10 minutes. Book it!

Great experience over all. The only thing I would recommend is to sale water, snacks, and souvenirs. I came on vacation and would of loved to purchase a souvenir. I also called 3 times and no one answered me before I arrived. When I got here the people were great! I recommend.

Easy reservation process, online waivers, allow 16 year olds to drive which was cool. No line to check in. Arrived at designated time, signed in and had our gear and UTVs within 10-15 mins. Unguided tour was easy to follow with the signs. Pretty low key and laid back. No hassle. Really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend.
