Highly recommend for all ages and experience levels. Our guide was Tom and he exceeded our expectations. He was amazing and ensured we all felt comfortable. It was a family trip with a 14 year old who was excited to drive. A few of us are adventurous and a few more cautious. We all enjoyed the adventure. Tom made the experience fun for all. The scenery is beautiful and riding the trail gives you an experience you will not get anywhere else. My family and I made great memories today. Thank you Tom!

Exhilarating!

Kathy_J, Jan 2024

Loved it! I am in my 50’s and I was worried it would be a bit much for me but I enjoyed every minute of it. My daughter and son in law said it was better than the hot air balloon ride.

Highly Recommend…fun family experience!

Amazing experience

Ana_H, May 2022

We had an amazing experience! Tom with Stellar Adventures was an excellent tour guide and his wonderful sense of humor made this experience even more enjoyable! Tom put our safety first and we made frequent stops to hydrate, eat & stretch. The trails were full of beautiful scenery and highly recommended this experience! We enjoyed our ATV desert tour with Tom!

Great for families.

Brandy_M, Apr 2022

We initially booking this adventure because my kids (15 & 17) wanted to be able to drive themselves (not ride along w mom and dad) and it did not disappoint! Great for beginners and more experienced riders. Our guide Tom was excellent with our entire group. 2 hrs was just the right amount of time for us. This has been the highlight of our trip so far! Highly recommend.

Fabulous people and experience!

Mitch with Stellar Adventures was an incredible guide!!! We enjoyed the desert history stories and demonstrations as well. Everything was well planned out including helmets, goggles, face coverings, snacks, water and plenty of fun photos. They covered everything!! This was the best trip of the entire weekend. Spencer also gave a great blow out at the end. 😂😉 Thanks for making this adventure so fun! Highly recommend this trip for all skill levels.

Exciting tour through beautiful Arizona desert

Robert_N, Apr 2021

Great guide very helpful and knowledgeable. The trail was tougher then we expected but as beginners we all made it through, ages 14 -40. Great chance to see more of the beautiful Arizona desert. Great tour all around.

Great day in the Desert.

Stephen_R, Dec 2020

We had a great day with Mitch our tour guide on the ATV tour through the Sonoran Desert. We started off with rules and a little warm up on the ATV's before we went into the desert. The different trails that we took were not only fun but some challenging at times. Our guide Mitch made sure we stayed informed of what to expect next. Overall a great experience and I definitely recommend this adventure.

Thought we would have been picked up...

Kelly H, Nov 2016

Thought we would have been picked up for ride. We were staying at Grand Sheraton at Wild horse pass. Slight confusion with person who answered, seemed we were interrupting plans. When we called to confirm the day before we were cordially told we were to far away for pick up. The pick up radius would have been nice to know. Our location was requested when we booked. It would have been nice to receive a phone call letting us know we were on our own. Not bad, just customer service was lack luster. We were looking for luster for our anniversary weekend and based on reviews.
