Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the riders on the sand buggy tour?

A: Yes, there is an age limit for this tour. Kids must be at least 12 years old to ride as passengers, and they need to be accompanied by an adult. Drivers must be at least 16 years old with a valid driver's license. It's a great family activity if your kids meet the age requirements!

Q: What should we wear for the desert tour? Any specific clothing recommendations?

A: Definitely wear comfy clothing that you don't mind getting dusty! Long pants and closed-toe shoes are ideal since you'll be out in the desert. Don't forget sunglasses and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. The tour provides helmets, but you might want to wear a bandana to keep the dust out of your mouth!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather isn't favorable—like heavy rain or storms—they typically allow you to reschedule for another day without any fees. Just contact them as soon as you know you can't make it. They’re pretty flexible about that, but always check their policy on their website!

Thinking of gifting the Scottsdale ATV tour - any tips?

I’m planning to gift this ATV/UTV sand buggy tour to my brother and his girlfriend while they’re in Scottsdale. I love that it includes snacks and water! How intense is the ride, though? They're not super experienced with off-roading. Any advice on how to make it a memorable experience?

Just did the desert buggy tour - amazing!

I went on the Scottsdale ATV/UTV tour last week, and I can't stop raving about it! The 2026 Trail Sport UTVs were so easy to handle. We swapped drivers halfway, which was a blast. The guide was super knowledgeable about the area, and the snacks were perfect for the break. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting the area!
