    November Adventure
    We had an adventure!!!! Irock was our tour guide. He was very attentive to my claustrophobic needs and kept us safe! Our 10 year old son really enjoyed. Everyone is very nice. It is very bumpy so if you are okay with that then great otherwise do the ATV’s instead. We went in November so the weather was perfect! I don’t think we would have been able to do in the middle of summer!

    Fun once you get there...
    Let me start by saying the actual dune-buggying adventure was fun and exhilarating. Our guide, Deimo, was very nice and knowledgeable. HOWEVER, after signing the waivers and getting our gear ready the shuttle driver from SunBuggy (Michael Johnson) did not use a GPS and wound up getting us all lost in the desert for over an hour before he admitted "I don't know where he dropped the pin." After we successfully finding our way to where the dune buggies were, he continued making very odd commentary such as telling us the local flowers were related to "velvet plants:" "...you know, like red velvet?" was an actual quote from this man. After our dune buggy adventure was over he insisted on making 2 seperate bathroom stops with the bus for himself as no one in our group needed to stop. Arriving back at our hotel he crashed the bus into a pillar and tore off the side-mirror. It was QUITE the adventure. If you can stomach the commute provided by SunBuggy we had a lot of fun out there driving the dune buggies... Next time will 100% book with another outlet though, hopefully won't lose over an hour of vacation time to their driver getting lost.

    First Time on ATV!
    This was my first time on an ATV. I was nervous going into it, because I was afraid of tipping over or getting stuck. We were picked up at our hotel, and then had to pick up one more person after that. There were about 8 people in van before us. After the last pickup at Fremont, we drove about 20/30 mins to the facility where they show you the safety video. And also get fitted for a helmet and goggles. The helmets are sanitized, but they still look dirty. I felt a little icky. Thankfully, I brought a face covering that cover my neck, mouth and nose. Highly recommend bringing one, the sand does fly into your face. After the video, we drove about another 20 mins to the ATV's. You do practice before you go out. Driving around in a circle where they have certain areas that have rocks, smooth areas, here is where you get the basic feel of it. When I got on the ATV to do the practice run, our guide, Josh, asked me how I was I feeling. I said it was my first time and I was nervous. He said after the practice run, if I still felt unsure, I could ride in his buggy. After the practice run, I felt good and decided to ride the ATV. And I'm so glad I did! I've never had so much fun! The whole time, I felt safe. Josh took his time and made all feel comfortable. I can't wait to do it again!

    Josh was an amazing tour guide!
    From pick up at our hotel with Michael, the amazing time we had with Josh in the Valley of Fire and drop off at our hotel with Claude, the entire day was awesome. Josh is a great tour guide. Good conversation to the valley of fire, explains everything about our ATVs thoroughly, puts safety above all, and also checked on us to make sure we were having fun. This company is fabulous and every person you interact with is top notch. Highly recommend!

    ATVing fun
    The only reason this experience wasn’t rated a 5 was because of the constant stopping due to some folks in my group being confident and comfortable riding. Our tour guide Don P definitely put safety first, but a few folks just couldn’t catch on. We got to see some good views, go up and down rough terrain, and even ride over some dunes. Im sure it would have been more exciting if the ones who didn’t finish were told at the beginning that this experience wasn’t for them. From the hotel pick up Mike was great, super informative and accurate with his time, also gave a little vegas tour on the way to the facility. I’d 100% do this again, but wish the price was a little less.

I looked forward to this outing for months. I wanted to like it so much and I can honestly say everything to do with every employee was top notch. Every employee gives 100% whether it's to be accommodating or giving you a good time.
The negative of my experience is that pretty much every non human component of this company is lacking. The head quarters/office seems understaffed and disorganized, the room where they show you a video on safety is dingy and it's clear the projector is a decade past it's recommended replacement date. the bus taking you from the office to the dune buggys has more duct tape on the seats than vinyl, the bus barely seemed safe for the road. My dune buggy was discovered to have a very loose lug nut half way through my excursion. In short, quality control of everything but their staff is sorely lacking.
My guide was Davidos and he did everything he could to give me the most fun experience possible and was a great guide.

Thank you for riding with Sunbuggy and providing this valuable feedback. Our main priority at SunBuggy is getting and taking care of the right kind of people so we can provide a great experience to our clients. Outside of our staff and guests we do what we can to keep costs low so we can be competitively priced and thus provide our experience to as broad of an audience as possible. While we do offer VIP options such as private limo service instead of complementary shuttles there are very few among us with the means to comfortably enjoy such luxy appointments, even on vacation. Our lobby does get a bit jammed up on busy days. We've looked closely at this and found that by and large since our guests don't know what's going on behind the scenes to line up tour after tour to get everyone out onto the dunes it can feel like you've been left in the cold and that no-one is attending to you. To address this perception we're implementing some procedures to keep everyone in the loop both ahead of time before arrival knowing what to expect, and also during your visit with us so we don't ever leave anyone wondering 'what's next?'. We also decided to retire the theater projector in favor of a newer flat screen TV (these things are so much cheaper these days!). We do want everyone to enjoy their visits with us, and will make sure that we keep up with having free snacks out for our guests (typically fresh fruit, popcorn, or popsicles when it's hot outside ) along with adding some more free table games if anyone ends up having to wait any more than a few minutes for the next shuttle to return our tour to launch. I don't know if you got a chance to take a few laps on the Go-Kart track when you were here but it's a fun track and right now free with all buggy adventures (or only $20 to add on to your ATV tour package.) Lastly but perhaps most importantly, it's great to hear that the guides (aka 'Dunies' ) were doing the best they could with what they have. As I mentioned, we work hard to get and retain the best people. The CHASE is BRUTAL and only the SunBuggy built Dune Buggies can reliably survive the type of driving we let our guests do on the CHASE. We do offer ATVs and UTVs but only on a more traditional tour type of driving adventure. Either way, every vehicle is inspected and test driven by a DOT certified CDL A class Dunie between every tour so we do make sure to give each vehicle a good shakedown before we let a guest drive it, every time. The whole crew (there's about 70 of us now) really loves doing what we do and it's always great to hear when our efforts are recognized and appreciated. Thanks again for coming out and for your feedback, it really helps us to fine tune our operations to be the best we can!

I would recommend avoiding this. Based on the website, I expected the ability to drive as fast as I wanted. It turned out to be following a guide over some trails (no dunes) at what I would describe as idle speed. The 60 minute ride time included a 10 minute smoke break for the guide. Don't be fooled by the jargon describing purpose built vehicles. What that really means is a rollcage on a go cart with a basic suspension. The only adrenaline on the entire ride were the several times that the throttle mechanism stuck wide open. I had to just ride the brake and punch the accelerator repeatedly to finally get it unstuck. The couple behind me got left for a while because they had to kill the engine, get out of the buggy and unstick their throttle. If you do insist on booking this, go for the shortest ride. You and your wallet can thank me later.

Dear Sparksdan, Please contact us at QA@Sunbuggy.com, that's our quality assurance team. We want to look into who is doing a smoke break on your time and take remediative measures. Please know that we do a complete safety check on each and every vehicle when it returns from the dunes and before it goes out again. In any event, we're deeply sorry that you had a less than 5* experience with us and we want to see where we can improve. Thank you, we look forward to hearing from you.

Man Oh Man! If you want to have a ball, then this is a must. From the time you are picked up to the time you are dropped off. Our guide who picked us up was hilarious. I apologize I can’t recall his name but I’ll post a picture of him. He was funny, exciting and he even sung Happy Birthday to those who had birthdays that day. They preach safety and fun! We arrived and watched safety videos and got fitted with helmets. Our guide, Ray Ray or as he says, everyone loves Ray, was great. He was funny and very informative in a fun way. When we got to the dune buggy’s, Chad was our guide and was he great. He was so nice and personal. The crew was great and made sure we in the cars correctly and secured. The course we went on was specifically mapped out by Chad. He said he wanted to make his unique with every possible adventure you get riding in the dessert. It was 30 minutes for ours but it was so much fun it seemed like 5 minutes. We didn’t want to get out the buggy’s and couldn’t stop talking about it. When you finish you couldn’t do anything but tip Chad cause he made sure it was fun and safe. The guide on the way back was funny to. Each had their own flavor of humor. Do this if you in Vegas. Thanks so much Chad!!! Lester & Davina.

My son and I had a blast. We were picked up from our hotel by Emmit, who was extremely professional he told us what to expect, offered us water, fruit and encouraged us to stay hydrated. He was running early and called us to let us know. Chad was our guide and made our experience AMAZING! He was a wonderful instructor and guide. Tom brought is back to our hotel and we had a great conversation with him along the way. We definitely recommend this excursion if anyone is interested in what else there is to do near Vegas!! We will definitely do this again sometime!!

Myself and my family had an amazing time with Sun Buggy tours today, 3/18/22. This is my 4th time riding with this company. From start to finish, Sun Buggy provides an amazing experience. Our driver, Emmett, did an excellent job providing safe and timely transportation to and from our casino. My tour guide was Horacio. During the dune buggy chase, Horacio did an awesome job of making sure we had a great time while maintaining complete safety. We did not come into contact with any desert tortoises or other wildlife. I highly recommend Sun Buggy Tours for a great outdoors experience!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experience with us, as well as helping watch out for the Endangered Desert Tortoise so he can live to see another day! Hope to have you back out and riding with us sooner than later at ANY of our SunBuggy locations :-)

We booked the 60 minute off-road dune buggy experience, but the whole experience lasted barely 35 minutes, including a 10 min ‘break’ (during which time our guide returned to base to change his car, leaving us alone in the desert). The goggles I was issued with had no seal around the face, and so sand blew up into my eyes as I was driving. Pretty basic stuff!

We were back to base and waiting on the bus a full 20 mins before the other party (who had also booked a 60 minute experience). The driver was unable to explain why we were back so much earlier. We also saw our tour guide return to the bus just before we left, and mark the ‘finish’ time on his paperwork as the full hour, even though our tour finished 25 mins earlier and we had been sat on the bus all that time. When we tried to complain about not getting the full experience we paid for, there were told there were ‘no managers present’ and to put our complaint in writing. This we did, to the address provided (and an alternative) and have sadly not even received the courtesy of a reply. We didn’t get the promised photo of our experience either (taken, but not shared).

Clearly Sun Buggy have no interest in acknowledging the problem, no refunding us for this poor experience.

I would advise against using this company.

This was such a letdown, the website is not at all what we got. We rode around in basically a circle at about 5-10 mph pace. The go carts/buggies were beat up and worn out.They are slow and terribly underpowered, suspension was awful. We were told we could go,fast as we wanted but once we got out there our guide told us single file only and he went very slow the whole time. The equipment is absolutely terrible. I highly reccomend avoiding this waste of time and money. My buddy’s throttle stuck wide open on his buggy, which was the only exciting part of the ride.

Super cool experience! We had a person in our tour who could have seriously delayed everything (went off on her own and got stuck, complained so much that our tour guide switched buggies with her, etc) and Chad made sure we experienced minimal downtime. His kind thinking and efficiency are much appreciated! The staff is very laid back and everyone’s cracking jokes, literally everyone from Russ the bus driver to our tour guide Chad to the kids making sure all of our belts and safety gear was secured, all making jokes and having fun. Well done tour, all around great experience. There’s some wait time between arriving to the office and getting on the trail but nothing terrible. You get waters the whole time and it’s fun to chat with people in your group.

Dear Beth, Super cool and forgiving review! This reminds me of the time I went on a cruise with a friend. She had not mentioned she had a huge fear of water until we got to the cruise ship, wow, just wow. Can we just say that there are some people you don't ever want to go on vacation with? LOL. We passed this generous review to Chad, Russ and our management team so that everyone is aware of how Chad saved the day for you by his kindness and efficiency. So important! We're truly pleased that we were able to turn around what could have been a SAD experience for you into one that you appreciate and will think about for a long time. We appreciate you, thank you for making Sunbuggy a part of your Vegas holiday.

Our guide Dan really looked after us. Such a great activity. Dan kept the pace up and allowed us to put faster drivers up front which made for a much more enjoyable experience.
Second time doing this, and still as good as my last trip. Must do
