    We had planned to have our experience on Wednesday but got a call on Monday that our experience would need to be rescheduled due to unexpected mandatory training. They were extremely accommodating since we had planned to come out from Washington to CA literally just for this experience. They were able to work with us and rescheduled us a private tour on Tuesday after our flight got in. Conner was an absolute delight. His comedic timing, and historic knowledge of the big bear area was so awesome. We took the gold mountain trail, and Conner met us at our own experience level. His ability to navigate and direct us through obstacles was seamless and helpful rather than demeaning. In addition to that he was extremely accommodating for us having smaller kiddos, one of which nearly having a bathroom emergency. It's clear his priority is a smooth, fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. Thanks again Conner!

    The HYPE is worth believing in! We had such a great tour with Bob who led our tourzilla around the fun and bumpy big bear roads. I was a little hesitant when booking because of the price and no-refund policy but all the reviews won me over. I'm glad we said yes because it was so worth it. Those 40 inch wheels come in handy when you are going through puddles, rocks and mud. Both my kids had an amazing time (age 12 and 8) and I would say they felt like it was a roller coaster that kept going! Bob had music on that he selected throughout the trip and it honestly felt fun and adventurous. TIPS: I will say you should probably bring a warm jacket and it gets quite windy with the open air jeep so sunglasses and even a face covering is a must. We also Brought water and snacks but only used our water because we were so into the experience and the tour. Bob was very knowledgable about the environment, trees, history, and story of Big Bear. We learned new facts and had a great time at it also. This was also a perfect time because the season was not crazy busy and the weather was just perfect. I will also say Bob is a great photographer and was able to catch all the right shots that we were hoping for.

    Booked with Tyler. He was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable and just a great dude! Beautiful drive and well worth it. Money well spent!

    This is truly an off road experience! You're not just meandering through the woods. You're rockin' through the woods! Bob is an excellent guide and I would recommend this highly. The vehicle was something I've never seen and the suspension is so smooth even though you're going over bumps.

    The best experience I have had in such a long time! Allan was knowledgeable, fun, kept us alive, and had a killer playlist! The trail was a perfect mixture of adrenaline and scenery. I will definitely be back!

    5-stars to Big Bear Off-Road Experience!! We booked the Tourzilla online, showed up at the office at our designated time, signed some waivers and off we went. Desi took us up through Holcomb Valley Backcountry and Gold Fever Trail. We climbed up to 7.5k ft elevation, all the while, listening to some great tunes and Desi chiming in to talk about local history, mining heritage, plants, wildlife and off-road techniques & etiquette. We stopped at least 5x on the tour to get up close and soak up some stories and history of the area. Desi has a heart of Gold, he's passionate about this tour and it shows. He was really in-tune with our family's special needs and we really appreciated that. Don't sleep on this one y'all, you won't regret it! Book it!

    Second time going here did The Squeeze tour and was SOOOOO FUNN! Took my whole family and everyone had so much fun. It was a good twist of scary and fun lol make sure you get a good driver to drive lol! Our guide was Tyler and we had so much fun! He was also able to record part of the ride for us which was great! 10/10 recommended to anyone who goes to Big Bear

    This is hands down one of the absolute coolest experiences of my life. So much fun. My wife and I had an excellent time. Our tour guide Alan was awesome and hilarious. I can't wait to do this again. Easily the single most fun thing to do in the city. We will definitely be coming back.

    We had a small group of just us two and another couple. Our driver and guide Allen (Alan?) showed us a great time. Kept us entertained the whole way. Great experience with amazing views. He's a great dude too!

    Driving on the rocky trail and this isn't even where we were driving over huge rocks lol

    The off-roading experience was great! We did the intermediate so the John Bull trail. Some of it you're kinda like woahhhhh OoOooOo oh crap!! lol cause you're bouncing off the rocks like you're going to break the jeep hahaha but it was lots of fun!! Tyler was a great guide and knew random facts about our route. Had us smell some fresh sage. If you're bringing little ones, be sure to book the larger vehicle and be prepared to use your own car seat. Thank you!!

    Are small dogs allowed to come along?

    Hey Dave, to be honest I'm not sure if they allow dogs or not. But you can always give them a call, there super nice and helpful. I wouldn't suggest it because the jeeps have no doors on them and no roof top, so everything is open. Plus I would be… 

    Is this a self guided tour/rental or is there someone with us the whole time?

    There was a lead jeep (from the tour company) and four follow jeeps (others paying for the tour). Everyone stayed together the whole time, with the lead vehicle acting as the guide. We were each guided through our obstacles (like turn the wheel a…

    DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY -- TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE We…read morebooked a mountain ATV ride with Enjoy the Mountain ATV in July 2026, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The first red flag was that the company did not provide a phone number, making it difficult to get help or clarification when we needed it. We followed their directions exactly and arrived 30 minutes early. We parked in the designated lot as instructed by the person at the gate, but our guide never came to meet us. We eventually had to drive into the park ourselves and locate the guide, who was parked on the side of the road. There was no clear signage identifying the company or where customers were supposed to check in. Once we finally found the guide, the intake process took approximately 40 minutes. After all of that, we paid approximately $700 for a ride that lasted only about 20 minutes. We were also promised pictures from the experience, but no pictures were ever provided. Lucky I took my own before riding. What made the experience even worse was the customer service afterward. Rather than taking responsibility for the poor communication, unclear instructions, lack of signage, and failure to provide what was promised, the company provided little to no accountability. For the amount of money we spent, this was absolutely not the experience we expected. Poor communication, poor organization, inadequate customer service, and failure to deliver what was promised. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company and would strongly encourage others to consider other ATV companies before booking.

I was able to book a trip for Aug 25 online and did so in June of 25. Trip was for a Tuesday. On my way up the mountain Sunday night the owner texted me saying he had to cancel. He also left a VM saying he was canceling because he cant afford the insurance to operate the business. I asked when I could expect a refund on my CC. No response. I waited until the next day late in the morning, when there was still no response. to contact my CC company to challenge the charge. That afternoon he said he was going to refund me but couldn't. I believe he said he couldn't do it because I challenged the charge. If he was going to give me a refund then why not just respond to my text the day before and let me know that? Anyway, I have tried two years in a row and give up. If you are going to Big Bear don't count on a trip with this company.

We saw some rock formations that were absolutely gorgeous, with deep history and a killer view of the valley. We even got to hike a little bit at the top of a mountain. This is a great way to spend a unique couple of hours in Big Bear. There's nothing else like this in BBL as far as I know. We recommend it to our guests who visit our home which we rent out via VRBO / AirB&B.

No Customer service. Pure SCAM. DO NOT USE THEM. Wont pick up my calls.
