    Getting ready for our adventure!

    OMG! This was the best BIRTHDAY adventure yet! We had an AMAZING time! Josh, Ray and George were just incredible, making us feel safe, but allowed all the fun you can possibly have! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! WE WILL BE BACK! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    I highly recommend this place for the whole family! We had a blast! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Make sure you bring extra clothes it gets very dusty. I hear winter is the best time to come so we will definitely be back, 10/10 no complaints can't wait to be back and tear up those dirt roads :)

    We drove 3 hours from LA to find this business closed! Luckily there was a neighbor outside who informed us there was no one there. Our tour was at 11am 7/23/23 and we arrived 15 min early , called repeatedly and no answer. My husband emailed and he received an email back saying we'd get a full refund for the inconvenience. Unfortunately this doesn't cover our lost time and gas!

    Nothing can beat the adrenaline of off-roading! I was scared at first, thinking I might lose control of the car but the tour guide always made sure I was doing ok. They have 10,19 and 28 mile tour of desert, dunes and dust. I picked 10 miles and regretted it. I want more! Next time, I will pick the 28 mile tour.

    This is perfect for a date. This isn't random riding. Your riding with an instructor that knows the trails, will let you speed when it's safe, and most importantly they are cool and personable. Had anniversary plans which got cancelled due to our autistic nonverbal son who became sick out of no where. I was desperate to just get away, even for a few hours. Found this gem on google and gave them a call. Booking was easily done on the website. A few hours later, my husband and I arrived to a big blue trailer. Jenn met us outside with a smile. I used their restrooms and to my surprise they were "clean clean". I noticed a daily cleaning log which reassured me that this place was legit. Filled out a few forms, watched a tutorial video, and paid 2 deposits since we got 2 vehicles. Our deposits was 2k per vehicle so expect that additional temporary charge. The deposit was lifted before we got into our vehicles to leave home. Our online banking showed this to be true. We did the 28mile tour. During the tour my husband and I spoke to one another via headset. Jenn educated us about the area and even showed us how to spot gold. It was a joyous ride. I am very appreciative... Helpful Hints: Deposits maybe split across different cards, drive safe or your pockets will pay for it later.

    What an incredible time. Spent new Years weekend in Palm Springs and this was worth the drive from there! They have the CUTEST and friendliest pup on site who loves all the belly rubs. We met Ray and Liam. Both were friendly and helpful. We signed up for the 19 mile tour. Liam was a great guide and had me feeling confident in something I've never done before! My only regret is not doing the 28 mile tour. Well worth the money! Definitely recommend and plan on coming back to do the longer tour!

    Perfect driving experience, me and my group are really enjoyed it! If you choose to be here around 3, you might be able to see the beautiful sunset.

    This place was amazing and so fun! They have a lot of freedom to go fast! The track was perfect for all levels. This was a blast and I highly recommend it!

    There is nobody here. We showed up for a tour at 10am, called the number, but no response. Other reviews cite the same problem. Very disappointed.

    Haven't had so much fun in a while! Gotta admit that at a certain point i got scared, hahaha, and I feel bad for everyone's ears having to hear me yelling through the headsets (oops) but overall it was such an amazing experience and so much fun. Jenny is just a doll and made it so easy to get us started, since i have never done this before. She is amazing! She kept us engaged and gave us the headsup if anything was up ahead that needed our attention. I am definitely coming back and bringing my 10 year old son so he can experience it as well and do the 4 passenger one. Thank you for such a great time!

    Wild desert tours!

    Ask the Community - Wild Desert Tours

    Is there an age limit for the pasangers?

    State law says that children need to be such a size that they can sit with their back against the seat back and be able to hold the safety handle(s). Children that are 5 or 6 years old usually meet this requirement.

    Do they deliver rentals to Calico Campground?

    No. It's a guided service. They take you out directly from the business. You have your own car but the guide, in his, drives ahead communicating which way to go. Really fun! It's the right amount of driving time!!

    Do they require a deposit? If so, how much? Thank you

    It depends on the car you decide to drive. You can use multiple cards, yours and/or others in your group, to achieve the amount needed.

    Unforgettable Family Adventure with Happy Trails Rental!…read more We recently took our family to Palm Springs for a fun weekend filled with stargazing, hiking, and off-roading--and hands down, the highlight of the entire trip was our experience with Happy Trails Rental. We rented two side-by-sides (one 4-seater and one 2-seater) and chose the Scavenger Hunt, which was perfect since we had my younger nephew with us. From start to finish, Ben and Tony were absolutely fantastic--extremely helpful, communicative, and transparent every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to focus on having fun as a family. They even provided a cooler for us to pack lunch, and the navigation was pre-mapped with clear waypoints, making it easy to explore without worrying about getting lost. We stopped multiple times along the way to take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and just soak in the experience. The entire time, my family was smiling from ear to ear. Ben and Tony are true professionals, and it really shows in how well they run their business and take care of their customers. If you're looking to spend a few unforgettable hours outdoors with your family, I can't recommend Happy Trails Rental enough. We will absolutely be back!

    Just got back from our ATV trail riding in Angeles Forest. It was Amazing! Highly recommend!…read moreOur guide Kevin was terrific! The safety equipment provided is excellent. Even paper ski masks to help keep out the dust! That was a very nice and unexpected touch. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews about getting the waivers done. But it's not hard. I've worked in IT help desks for years so I know some people are just not good with a computer. That's fine. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll get thru. Or just get help from a teenager. :-) To get to this location they give you very good directions. If you follow them you'll have no issues. It's actually very easy! But GPS is not great for the less traveled roads in the mountains going to a place that doesn't really have a street address. We will be going back soon! Hopefully for 2 hours next time!

    We visited the US from Europe for 3 weeks and this was by far our worst experience. I don't think…read moreI have written such long review but this experience was so poor. The owner actually runs a motel and advertises a dirt bike and quad for rental. Unfortunately, we agreed to rent and were asked to sign a very long rental agreement on the owners iPad. We then waited about 45 mins while he drove the bike/quad to the garage for gas, then we drove across town to the trails and the owner left us. First of all, the both the bike and quad are 10 years old and in poor condition. We paid $300 + 50 for gas. We did not see them before we signed (stupidly that was our fault) as that would have been a big warning sign. When they kept stalling the owner said that when they warm up, they will be fine. They weren't and made riding for my quite difficult. The console of quad kept popping off and the steering was crooked. The stand of the dirt bike was held up by a rope and it dropped down during the ride. The clutch and brake handles were both bent. Needless to say, we did not enjoy ourselves. When the owner came back at the end of ride, he said that we had scratched the back of bike and bent the clutch and asked for $70 more in damages to cover a bent clutch handle. When I asked him how he comes to $70, he became abusive and said I was a 'dick' and that the rental contract allows him to change up to $500 at his sole discretion. Shortly, there after he decided to charge $150. I will contest this with the credit card company. My advice to anyone thinking of renting is don't. If you do, read the agreement and have a look at the bike and quad and better still drive them before you sign and pay. You won't want to rent once you do that.
