Incredible, fun, ALL levels/ families 1/2 Day Private Guided Hike-Sonoran Desert

Overview

Seeing the Sonoran Desert via your own two feet can be very intimate. How often do you get to stand right next to a Saguaro Cactus? Have you ever tried a taste of Cholla Cactus? Did you know there are so many edible plants in our Sonoran Desert?

Our guides can put together a hiking adventure in the Sonoran Desert to fit your vision. From a casual stroll to strenuous, rugged terrain—we have you covered. Have your dog along? We welcome them to join the hike as long as they are leashed.

Want to do a family hike? We can put together hikes that include education and get those little legs moving. If you plan to hike a half day with us plan for three hours of hiking. Our guides will carry water, snacks, sunscreen and first aid essentials.

Meet your guide at Starbucks, 3165 E. Lincoln Drive, #120, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

I was blessed to have Laurel, the owner, as my guide on a private hike in the Sonoran desert and she was awesome to work with. Super responsive and customer service focused from my initial outreach when I had questions about booking, through to the actual hike itself. She's a very patient, friendly, knowledgeable and responsible guide and I highly encourage anyone considering to book with her/Wild Bunch. Learned lots about the desert plants and geography of the area during the hike as well. Overall, a great experience!

I'm a female lone traveler with zero desert hiking experience, so I was very glad to find a company that offered solo guided hiking tours. I had a great time with Jay. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and he kept me safe from colliding into the mountain bikers, I was so distracted and captivated by the beauty of the desert and all of the cactuses.

The desert surely can be captivating and I am glad you pointed that out. Hope to see you again soon!! The Desert is calling. Sincerely and thank you for being our guest. Laurel
