Ride sandy Sonoran Desert trails on a guided Scottsdale ATV tour, with cactus scenery, wildlife, snacks, and free photography.

About this tour

Trade city streets for sandy trails on a Scottsdale desert ATV tour through the Sonoran Desert. Choose a single or double ATV, or opt for a UTV that’s well suited to families, then set out with a guide to explore the desert landscape.

Along the way, look for towering saguaro, barrel, and prickly pear cactus among dozens of other plant species. Keep an eye out for wildlife, too: you may spot a mule deer or even a bald eagle. Your ride includes a full-face helmet and goggles, bottled water, snacks, and free photography, so you can focus on the scenery and the adventure. Live English-language guiding brings context to the route, while the 120-minute outing gives you time to take in the desert at trail level.

Book your Scottsdale desert ATV tour for an active way to experience the Sonoran Desert. Drivers must be at least 16, and directions to the meeting location arrive after booking.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.97 on Viator and 5.00 on GetYourGuide. Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in Scottsdale
  • 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 9.4. Top 7% in Scottsdale means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Scottsdale by this score.
