Take on 28 miles of Mojave Desert trails in a Can-Am UTV, navigating dirt, sand, rock, and rugged terrain with a live guide.
About this tour
Trade paved roads for the rugged tracks of the Mojave Desert on a Southern California UTV tour built around 28 miles of varied terrain. Dirt, sand, and rock set the scene as you steer through twists, turns, inclines, dips, and off-camber sections.
Plan for 180 minutes in total, with about an hour at the start for safety orientation and preparation. Once helmets and off-roading gloves are fitted and the real-time intercom is synced, set out in a 2022 Can-Am X3 DS Turbo for one or two riders. The route offers about two hours of trail time, with bottled water provided along the way.
This Southern California UTV tour welcomes a range of fitness levels, though it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or those who are pregnant. Passengers must be at least 4 years old and 42 inches tall. A $3,000 damage-deposit preauthorization is required and is returned after the tour if there are no accidents. Make room in your plans for the drive and arrival briefing, then head out to experience the Mojave from behind the wheel.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.91 from 55 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Palm Springs
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9. Top 30% in Palm Springs means it ranks in the top 30% of tours in Palm Springs by this score.
