A complete VIBE! Spencer was our guide and it was just us with him, so it felt like a private tour which I loved! I had never gone ATV riding before, but now I'm obsessed and want to go again. Spencer was very informative about how to turn on our vehicle, helmet and goggle placement, scarf placement (he provided the scarves for us to keep) to prevent as much dust from entering your mouth while driving, and ultimately how to drive the the ATV safely. Periodically he would make stops to describe the history of different cacti or different overlooks for photo opportunities. I had so much fun and left very dusty but very happy lols definitely check them out if you're in the Scottsdale or Phoenix area! read more

I had the most amazing tour of the desert with a bridal party in March! Our tour guide Megan was amazing! She was so genuinely kind, attentive, and just overall wonderful! I would 100% recommend this to anybody coming out to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. Experiencing this made me want to do it again! Thank you, Meghan, for making it so special! read more

Great trip out on the UTVs! They provide great information of what to wear and how to get there. I rented a car however if you have uber or lyft it might be a little difficult to find. Our guide was so sweet and funny. They will also take the best photos of you and your group. You will get dirty! Goggles, , helmets, neck cover that also went over the face was definitely helpful. Don't recommend bringing any purses or bags. They will provide water and chips! 10/10 recommend! read more

Went on the Off Road Desert Sunset Tour for 1-2 people and asked for Martyn because he had personally recommended this tour when we met him in Kansas City several months ago. What a GREAT TIME! Not only did we have a wonderful time in a glorious setting, but an experience like none other. My friend drove their very well maintained and incredibly rugged ATV (not expecting that experience at all but loving every moment!) and I laughed the whole way! Martin was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. We are so thankful we met him to know about this company and the work they do to help people fall in love with the desert. read more

The sunset off-roading tour was one of the highlights of our trip and was absolutely worth it! The views during golden hour were incredible, and the entire experience was so much fun. Jen was an amazing tour guide friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone had a great time. It was especially fun connecting with her since she's a fellow SoCal girl. They also provided water and snacks, which was a nice added touch. Even though there was a bachelorette party on our tour, Jen made sure everyone felt included, and we never once felt left out. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! read more

We're very happy to give a big thanks to Megan with Desert Monsters Tours. We spent two hours on a great ride in the Four Peaks recreation area. Megan took us on fun and informative ride in two distinctly different terrains. During two short breaks she entertained us with history and animals of the area. The Honda 4-seater ATV was a great machine, comfy and powerful. I'm sure all guides here are great, but we feel lucky to have had Megan lead us through the desert. Big Thank You! read more

A large van picked up the group of ladies I was with for a bachelorette party. We were picked up and dropped off at our AirBnb, which was super convenient. Our tour guide, Ken, made everything super easy. The entire excursion had been well planned and organized. We had plenty of opportunities to take pictures and he also took pictures for us. It was a great experience for me and many of the girls in my group wanted to do it again for their own bachelorette parties. read more

My wife another couple and I arrived on time to find Spencer and the ATV's ready to go. After our safety meeting and getting geared out we started out on our 2 hour excursion. We braved twists, turns, bumps and humps and a couple of puddles to arrive at our first destination/break which was an area that had numerous cacti and native plants that Spencer went over with us. We had time to snack on chips and water before heading out to our second destination which was a bluff with amazing sunset views where we took plenty of photos and rested before we headed back to end the tour. Spencer was very thorough with his instructions which led to us having an amazing excursion. I will definitely recommend this company to anyone visiting Arizona. read more

This company is AWESOME! We are locals who had never seen the sights this way; there were folks from all over and even a bachelorette party (who got special pink helmets, SO cute). The company made sure to remind us of the meeting spot (it's not the office address) and guides were all very mellow, knowledgeable and safety-oriented. That being said, they are sticklers for safety so you can go fast & have a blast - which we DID! We road around for about two hours, with our guide taking tons of cute photos for us. There's a stopping point with absolutely incredible views of the forest and AZ topographical landmarks. And on our tour we happened to see the first snake of the warm season! (And it was lovely to see the guides and fellow drivers all be respectful of the little guy). read more

Great experience, came here with a group of 7 for a bachelorette party. We had Jennifer as our guide. She was super nice and fun! Even gave the bride the white helmet to match her outfit teehee. The instructions were super clear. It sounded scary but it wasn't that bad haha. The ride was really fun, trail was great. ‼I would highly highly recommend wearing a hoodie/jacket if you're doing the sunset tour. ‼ the weather was colder in the desert, there's wind, and after sunset it's freezing lol. Only thing I regretted... also you will get HELLA dusty just FYI lol. Jennifer even had water and chips for us when we got to the half way point for photos. She took so many photos lol and sent them all to us about an hour after we left. We also had a bus pick us up and take us back and we could play our own music. It was a fun time! read more

BOOK NOW! We booked a tour for my cousin's bachelorette and we had a blast!!! We were a group of 7, most of us newbies! Some more nervous than others. We got a good safety course, and then our guide Martin was there with us every step of the way. He was beyond helpful and a blast!!! He gave us advice the entire ride and was constantly looking back to make sure we were all okay. He had no problem taking several photos of us as group and then of our bride! If you are debating on booking, go for it! You will not regret spending the money. Be prepared to get dirty and don't bring any valuable belonging. Most sunglasses do not fit under the goggles. But this is a must for anyone visiting the Scottsdale/Phoenix area! read more

My wife and I selected Desert Monsters based on its proximity to Scottsdale where we are vacationing and the on-line reviews. The 5 star reviews were spot on. Our guide, Johnny, was phenomenal. He was very friendly, instructive and knowledgeable about the area and what we saw along the trail. He knew the trails very well. The ATV we drove handled very well, had great acceleration and suspension and felt well maintained. Desert Monsters provide everything you need. Just bring your camera and attitude to have some fun. We look forward to returning to the AZ with our adult kids and booking another trip with them. Their directions on how to get to the trailhead were very accurate and the trailhead was very easy to find. (If you are just visiting the area and have never been here before, after your ride, head north on 87 and you'll see some amazing sights. It's easy enough to turn around in 15 miles or so.) We look forward to our next journey into the desert with Desert Monsters and will try the sunset tour when we return. read more

Desert Monsters was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had. Clear and easy commutation and amazing tour guide (shoutout to Jen for making me feel comfortable driving the ATV). We did the sunset tour and it was absolutely perfect. They provide snacks, helmet, goggles, neck gator, and give a safety talk. YOU WILL GET COVERED IN DUST! Wear pants and a sweatshirt, something you don't care about. There is also no bathrooms out there so pee before you go! The views were incredible and they take photos of you during the ride which turned out amazing. Would recommend to anyone, worth the money!! read more

Mike and Dave were AMAZING- he guided my friends and I on Friday night! It was a bachelorette party of 7 girls. We each drove our own utv. It looked like a dune buggy but was easy to handle. We originally thought we were getting quads but I liked this better. Mike was very attentive to my friend Elise who was nervous and he made sure she never got left behind and was able to fully participate. So kind and thoughtful. We were worried about the rain coming in, so we all prepped for it but we ended up with the best views and no issues! You're gonna get a little muddy, but it's like battle scars! I liked that the vehicles protected my sneakers because they were the only pair I brought on vacation. read more

Mike and Kendrick were so great! They took the time to make sure all drivers understood how to drive the UTV. We were all in 2 seater side by sides. Located in Tonto National Forest. Here: 33°40'09.7"N 111°29'43.7"W We would definitely do this again! Only downside is that you can only go as fast as the most novice driver in your group (there were 3 UTVs in our group all following our guide, Mike). We hit a top speed of 29mph due to some younger drivers. We chose the evening ride. 6-8pm. As soon as the sun started going down, the temp dropped 10°. Cool going back in the dark, but don't book a nighttime ride, as you'll miss the beautiful scenery. $300 for 2 people in a side by side Bombardier UTV. read more

This was so much fun for our bachelorette party. They did a great job of explaining how to drive the AT a and made us really comfortable. They clearly get a lot of bachelorette parties (like everywhere else in Scottsdale) and they had themed gators. They also provided jackets and gloves which were a must in February. They took us to a really great spot for pictures and took some really fun ones. Clearly they're super experienced and pros at leading groups like ours. read more

I went on a Monday by myself -- I'm from out of town so it was a little nerve wracking going into the middle of the desert alone. However, they prepared me nicely with what to do before and what to bring. The coordinates they provide are accurate and I had no issues with GPS. Lots of parking! There is no service in the area but it's easy to get back on the highway and head back to the city. Again, I had no issues. The weather was amazing & Steve was AWESOME as a guide. I know no one loves the "safety talk" but his advice was key to my experience. I'm typically a scaredy cat when it comes to adventurous things but he mentioned that any thing his vehicle goes over, mine can too at the same speed. He even took pictures for me & sent them after and thanked me for coming. Hearing the history of the desert was great and the views were spectacular. Prepare to get there a few minutes early, sign a paper, get your goggles and helmet on. I still ended up getting dirt all over my body but worth it!! Don't wear anything nice haha! 10/10 recommend and will do again! THANKS STEVE AND MEGAN!!!!! read more

We got a call from Chad who let us know that we were confirmed and when to arrive to grab the unit. When we got there Chad walked us through the entire process and how to set it up once we got to our destination. Everything was great we had a great time it was so spacious and the AC worked great. We slept like bears in the cold! We will be back to grab one of their UTV side by sides next which looked like an absolute blast.

So…read morewe did some internet searches and found Apache Canyon Rentals, we spoke to Jason and Chad who both were awesome to work with. They hooked us up with an RV that had the things we needed along with a generator in case we stayed somewhere with no electricity we traveled to San Diego and up the coast. The RV was clean and stocked with everything we could need. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend you try it. When we returned the RV Chad made it so easy, and helped us get it all checked in! They also rent UTVs and we can't wait to come back and give them a try they were super affordable compared to the Cruise America RV rentals that wanted to charged us triple the cost that Apache Canyon Rentals charged. And the deposit was half the cost and the fees were supper affordable! We love Apache Canyon Rentals!

Donny and his brother could not have been nicer, or offered better customer service. We were unfamiliar with the area and elected to have them deliver the Rzr to us at the trailhead. Donny was at the meeting spot early (so were we, so that was awesome) and had us on our way in no time at all. A quick review of the operation of the buggy and a review of all included safety equipment (spare tire, spare belt, puncture repair kit, first aid kit, etc...) and we were off. We elected for the 24 hour rental because we were on the trails all day and wouldn't have been back in time before they closed. It was well worth it and one of the few, if not only, company to offer this option. Our machine worked perfectly without issue. It made for a great family adventure. I'd give them six stars if possible. It could not have been a better experience.

My friends and I had the opportunity to experience the Desert Monsters UTV tour in Phoenix this morning, and it was an absolute blast, especially for our bachelorette group. For those of us visiting from out of town, particularly from the east where these experiences aren't as common, it was so much fun. Our tour guide, Ken, truly made the experience great. He was engaging, well-educated about the area, and shared fascinating facts along the way. Ken was patient with our group and he took the time to ensure we were comfortable and well-informed throughout the tour. He even captured some incredible moments with his camera and ours. He went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and ensure that everyone had a fantastic time. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area and requesting Ken as your tour guide. Desert Monsters definitely exceeded our expectations. read more

A Great Experience - Worth the Price If you happened upon this review, you are probably trying to figure out if it is worth the price. Well I was in the same boat and decided to go for it. Don't let the price scare you away. I don't like shelling out a lot of cash for a tour but this was well worth the price. My wife and I did the 8:00 a.m. tour to beat the heat of the day, however I recommend booking the evening tour if you want to see more wildlife. Dave was an excellent guide and took us on an amazing 2 hour adventure through the desert. Dave keeps his equipment is in top shape and obviously enjoys his job. We are definitely doing this with the family in the future. read more

We had the BEST time with Jen at Desert Monster Tours for our girls trip! From the moment we arrived, she made the entire experience fun, exciting, and unforgettable. Jen was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, kept the energy up the whole time, and made everyone feel comfortable and included. She knew all the best spots for photos and truly went above and beyond to make sure our group had an amazing experience. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it absolutely shows. If you're booking a tour, ask for Jen, she made our trip one of the highlights of our weekend. Highly recommend Desert Monster Tours and especially Jen for an unforgettable adventure! read more

A lady was unloading her boat and she knew she needed to hurry as it is was the "wrong" beach but all privates drop their boats there and normally stay tight and out of the way. As she was unloading the big bus rolled up ( 8:30 am) and honked she went to move her truck instantly a guide jumped out of the truck and started dropping the f bomb, peacocking and threatening the lady to the point I was concerned for her safety. She said she was trying to move out of the way but the guide kept yelling at her in a totally unprofessional manner calling her a bitch, dropping the fbomb, threatening to throw her stuff in the river the whole time not allowing her to move as he was in between her and her truck. He just was escalating the problem all she kept saying was ok I am going to move but he kept preventing her. His mannerism was narcissistic, chauvinistic and his odor was suspect. As a guide professionally for 35 years at various rivers including the Salt, and now working promoting adventure tourism I find this behavior unacceptable and I will not be endorsing this company. I understand at the end of the season folks get burned out but maybe the guide should take anger management or work at the DMV. Start out with hello instead of " You stupid B@#$%h". Having thought about the incident of which I only witnessed it is sad that in such a beautiful spot it occurred.

When we got to the house, Mike had mentioned him and a friend he had at the house were going out riding as well and were planning on making their way to a little pond headed south on the Hassayampa and invited us to join them. I gladly took the offer and we had the BEST time. Plenty of areas to gas it, up hills, splashing through the river - we got it all in just a few hours. We'd stop every so often for a water break and a snack break and my boys had zero complaints about anything. They loved every minute of the trip. Even swapped drivers and got my oldest in the driver's seat and he was pumped. I just can't say what an amazing memory for me and my boys this was and Mike made it all happen for us. With Mike's guidance through the terrain, I was 100% confident in everything we did!

It wasn't too busy so finding a parking spot was fast. We unloaded, and walked over the the check in area to purchase tickets. The cost of the ticket included the shuttle ride to and from the drop off / pickup area. We floated for 2.5 hours and it was sooo much fun. The water was cold but the sun was hot. For the most part we relaxed and in some areas we struggled as the currents were strong. We had paddles on hand so that helped a lot. We saw a few horses roaming around.

It would have been nice to have a second smaller tube for things and drinks, but when it's almost the same price as a tube pass itself, it didn't make sense to rent one. A couple recommendations would be to bring a sheet of some kind to out over the tube if you're renting one as they get hot VERY quickly. I also recommend having a second tube as there is barely enough room for just you on the ones you can rent. While I suffered because I didn't want to spend the hefty rent price for their carrying tube, I would recommended buying a cheap one to bring.
