Experience the Sonoran Desert by ATV

Enjoy an off-road adventure with Arizona Outdoor Fun Adventures & Tours, located near New River and Black Canyon City, north of Phoenix. This guided group tour takes you through the Sonoran Desert, offering scenic views of the Bradshaw Mountains and opportunities to observe the region’s wildlife.

The experience is designed for riders aged 16 and older and uses single-passenger ATVs, allowing each participant to ride their own vehicle. A professional guide leads the group and provides an educational introduction to the desert environment.

Allow up to three hours for the complete experience. This includes up to one hour for check-in and preparation, followed by training and riding. The advertised riding and training portion lasts approximately two hours.

What to Expect

Upon arrival, complete check-in and receive your safety equipment. You will then participate in training before heading out on the desert trails with your guide.
