      Easygoing, educational, adventurous, fun
      Sam was the best lad for our guided atv/sidewinder experience. Friendly, educational, encouraging and a voluntary photographer for photo opportunities to capture this fun memory with my little sister visiting from out of town. We will come back and request for Sam in the future and not just because I share the same name as him…. But because he was a rockstar!!!🥳✨

      Sonoma desert jeep tour
      The check-in process was organized and easy to follow. Our tour guide, Josh Mayton, was knowledgeable and fun all afternoon. My sister and I rode with him rather than drive ourselves. There were many hills and trails where I was happy to have him in the driver's seat. He was careful to make sure that all of the other jeeps were keeping up with the group. He made a stop where we could all get out of the jeeps and take pictures. While we were stopped he passed out water to everyone. He also told us some of the attributes of the plants in the area. It was educational and fun.

      Anniversary Special
      Absolutely amazing!!! My wife and I had the best of time. It was our 32nd anniversary and our Hot Air Balloon ride got cancelled because of wind. But this adventure was a dynamic hit. Our tour guide Nate was the best and we really enjoyed his enthusiasm and pride in doing what he does. I can’t wait to this adventure again when we visit Phoenix in the future. Once again, thanks Nate and I would recommend.

      Great ATV expirience
      We really enjoy our tour in the ATVs Dylan had a good knowledge about plans and landscaping. I was not sure what tour to get but definitely if you are doing it as a couple I highly recommend it to do ATV instead of UTV

      Interesting and Fun
      Rich was our guide, and you can tell how much he loves the desert. Not only was it exciting and fun, but his explanation of how everything in the desert has a purpose was really interesting. Adam at the shooting range was also great. Tons of fun. I would do this again.

      Our Guide Joe was very knowledgeable on all Safety aspects of handling a weapon. He was very specific and kept us in proper positions while handling the guns and when we were the spectators watching our family & friends enjoying their turns.

    This was an incredible experience! Kurtis was so energetic, kind, and patient with all of us on the guided ATV tour. Even when it began raining halfway through, Kurtis did an amazing job of maintaining a positive attitude and helping everyone to stay excited. Our guide was able to enforce rules for the safety of everyone on the trail while literally cheering for us along the way. I'm not from the area, which is disappointing, because I would love to take my friends and family to this location. Maybe one day!

    I did the UTV guided tour with tour guide Dylan & it was worth every penny spent! (The pricing is very reasonable). Dylan had the same name as my boyfriend so I already liked him based off of that LOL.

    I was worried about the trail being beginner driver friendly but it was very easy to get through. Dylan did a great job telling us what gears to shift into, making sure everyone was keeping up, letting us know what to expect (like if a hill was coming up or bumpy rocks, etc.) and staying safe.

    I loved all the stops we took (about 3-4). We got to see an amazing view, large cactus’s, take pictures in between the canyons, and the best part was seeing wild donkeys!!! Dylan knew all the great places to take pictures and he was great at taking pictures for my boyfriend and I. He also gave us a lot of history about the desert and places we were traveling through and answered all our questions. He was very thoughtful about making sure our experience was the best and everyone was comfortable, always asking how we were doing, if we needed water, and going out of his way to make sure we caught the best views (we appreciated him taking us a little out the way to see the donkeys, my fav part).

    When we come back we want to do the shoot and ride guided tour or the ancient ruins tour. We will only accept Dylan as our tour guide! Request him!!!!!

    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.

    Along with all of the staff …Kurtis was wonderful! I couldn’t continue riding the atv because i was a bit nervous but he made me feel safe in the utv and taught me a lot about the different cactus out there. It was a wonderful experience inexpensive and highly recommend if you’re visiting AZ but be sure to pay attention to your wonderful tour guides as they explain how to operate the ride !!!

    This was an unbelievable experience I'll remember for a lifetime. My best friend and I went together and had never driven ATVs before. The team was quick to get us checked in and on the ATVs and were clear in training to the point that we were riding almost immediately. We felt safe the entire time because guides were in front of and behind us and would stop a few times throughout the ride to let everyone catch up and catch their breath. Trainers/guides were so attentive that they split our group up towards the beginning of the tour to allow for a faster and slower group to form so everyone was comfortable. We were lucky enough to be with Daryn who had so much knowledge about the Sonoran Desert. Not only did we have amazing views while riding, we walked away learning more about the environment then when we came in.

    People of all ages, shapes, sizes, genders, and backgrounds were on the tour with us and we all had a safe, amazing time. This experience is for anyone and I highly recommend you do it if you're in the area!!

    We had an amazing time at Arizona Outdoor Fun! Our guide, Erik, was fantastic and made the entire tour a blast. Since our group was mostly beginners, Erik did an excellent job ensuring everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout the ride. Highly recommend this experience!

    This is an absolute MUST do if you are in th area! We were in town for a soccer tournament with a group of 15 Jrs./Srs. in high school and 20 adults and each of us had an absolute blast! I believe all but 5 people went on their own individual ATVs (the others went in UTVs together) and it was the ride of a lifetime! First, I have to say that Kurtis, Jeff and Austin were the absolute perfect trail guides/hosts! Their knowledge and patience with our large group while we learned on the practice course was phenominal! Then as we went on the trail tour up into the mountain, they were all there to guide us every step of the way. A few of us were scared to drive the ATVs ourselves, but after the training and as we went on the trail, the comfort level grew quickly and the faster we all went and were all saying woo hoo! We stopped at a few points and they gave us the history of the area and little unknown facts about so many things about the area as well as other wildlife/nature in the area. And did it in the most fun and interactive way! I literally cannot say enough good things about this experience! Our group talked about how fun it was after we left non-stop... We were all so very impressed and just had the best time! Don't miss this if you are near! You won't regret it one bit!

    Overall we got the experience we hoped for in ATV(3) and UTVs(2) on a challenging trail. The guides were nice and were knowledgeable. But the group they put us in was WAY too big and had many extended stops. When it’s in the 90’s that put a damper on the ride. And, at one point one of the staff told us specifically we were driving too slowly. But he did this while we were stopped immediately behind the rest of our large group that was dealing with a rider who had almost passed out. It was unclear what this staff member expected from us. In addition, we could not hear anything the lead guide was telling the group about the trail or wildlife. If our group had been half the size, it would have been a great experience.

    The tour was amazing! Mayton was a fantastic tour guide. He was informative on the terrain, animals, and had some great stories that kept everyone engaged. Also, Jeff saved my wife with some quick thinking after she slid her ATV into a cactus and he quickly pulled the pricks out of her leg and used a local plant to help clean up the injury. Aside from the cactus mishap, it was a great day!!

    Awesome experience!!! This was my first time doing off-roading, and it was amazing! Our guide Jeff could not have been better!!! He went above and beyond to explain everything and make sure we knew what to expect, and he even searched for and found my daughter's phone when she dropped it! :-) The two-hour tour was beautiful and definitely a thrilling ride. If you love adventures, I highly recommend Arizona Outdoor Fun. My family and I will be going back to take part in a few of the other activities that they offer!
