Desert Dog adventures is the best! This adventure was the highlight of my recent visit to Scottsdale. There aren’t enough words to describe how much fun it was! Getting to drive the buggies ourselves was amazing. Our guides, Don & Ryan, were very kind, funny, & knowledgeable, & certainly a large part of what made the tour so awesome. We always felt safe, thanks to their instruction & encouragement. Michelle, the owner, responded to our questions promptly, even when the office was “closed for the day”. Can’t wait to return next year & do it again!

My adult children and their 4 year old and 7 year old loved it. Unfortunately, we had to turn around as my husband was too tall to fit in the vehicle. Not our fault.....His knee was jammed against the wheel and he could not move his foot from the brake to the gas. Therefore, unable to drive and we had to turn around. I tried to drive the vehicle, but he was having the same problem in the passenger seat with his knees hitting the safety handle.

Having my nephew drive a dune buggy for the first time in his life. The guides were excellent and the dune buggies were in great shape.
