Scottsdale Guided U-Drive UTV Sand Buggy Adventure in the Sonoran Desert

Overview

Desert Dog Offroad has been offering guided desert tours for over 25 years! What’s better than driving a New 2022, 800cc UTV Sand Buggy over cool terrain with your best bud by your side? How about having a guide to lead the way so you don’t get lost! Ha ha ha, no but really… Anyways our customer reviews on this tour are through the roof! This isn’t some slow-speed, single file UTV tour. This is a smile-a-second ride through super-cool desert track; rock gardens, sandy washes, twisty canyons, and technical two track. Desert Dog Offroad brings the buggies, helmets, non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. You bring you and see why this is the funnest desert tour out there! Minimum of 2 people per buggy is required.

My husband and I only had a short time in Phoenix this weekend but we are glad we made this one of our activities! The views, the adventure, the guide, it was all great! It was a little rough and tumble, but that’s how dune buggies should be! Highly recommend that you make this one of your activities too!

Memories that will last a lifetime!! When planning our trip to Arizona to attend Barrett Jackson car auction and celebrate my husband's birthday, we had one full day to enjoy the adventures this beautiful area offered. The smile on my husband's face as he navigated some crazy turns and drove up and down some challenging obstacles proved to me we made the right choice!! And so happy we chose Desert Dog Adventures!! Michelle in the front office not only called prior to the trip to ask if we had any questions, and after the trip to see what we thought, but also discussed suggestions for a special birthday ribeye dinner for my husband...and coming from NJ and being our first trip to Scottsdale, this customer service was greatly appreciated!! I would recommend women considering wearing a sports bra for the bumpy ride :). I did let Michelle know that our ride was only 2 hours rather than the 2 1/2 hour ride their website had advertised. Wish there had been an additional break during the ride to switch drivers during a part of the ride that did not have obstacles that required our guide Ryan, to give specific instructions to navigate to avoid the possibility of getting stuck, or could lead to possible problems as I would have loved to take a turn behind the wheel! That being said, I would still highly recommend Desert Dog!!

Recently did this tour and it was a lot of fun. Luke was a great guide. Without him we would have been lost in no time! Would highly recommend.
