    Horrible experience
    Palmer_M
    , Apr 2022
    Overall it was a good experience but at the end we got accused of damaging the door on one of the vehicles. Don was very rude when asked how it was damage he gave no answer. I asked what’s the next step if you believe we did this, no answer and then he walked away. He then explained the passenger door was broken because it would not close all the way. I explain it was like that when we got in because he also accused us of hitting something while on the trip when we had done everything during the trip which was asked and I had never hit anything. I showed Don when we got into the vehicle the door needed to be pulled to close. He told me I should have known the door closes on its own and I should of told him it was like that before we left like I was supposed to do that. The door closed so I assumed it was fine. Checking to see if the vehicle is damaged before we leave is Don’s job and it was not done before properly making us being held accountable. It ruined a good trip and we won’t be coming back or suggesting it to anyone else

    Fun ride and easy to do
    Dane_C
    , Mar 2022
    This ride was fun and unusual as we've never done it before. The trail was bumpy and often mogul-like, which meant that our speed was 10-15 mph. When the trail smoothed out, we got up to 25. The buggy is a bare-bones vehicle converted from a 400 cc quad cycle, It's easy to drive with most of the time only needing to use the gas pedal, but with the simple linkage steering and bumpy road, you have to hang on pretty tight to the steering wheel. I really wanted a little more open driving and faster speed, so if you're a newbie in for a bit of a thrill, this ride is for you. They give you helmets and bring along water and a little snack. If you want a real challenge in driving, then this ride is not for you. It kinda reminded me of other tours I've been on, like Downhill Bike ride on Maui and snowmobile tour in Tahoe, where the tour leader makes sure that everybody keeps up, which is pretty tame.

    This was very exciting because you get to drive your own Desert Car and we went quite fast. The biggest downfall was the tour guide not very friendly, nor organized. During our tour we unfortunately had a flat tire, they did not have a patch nor spare to fix on trail, which according to terrain must happen periodically so had to cut the whole ride short. The guide put blame on the driver for not driving in the exact trail that he was but closer to the back it was very dusty, they were moving quickly and you had to pick your trail, I do not believe it was a total driver fault, for accidents like this happen to the best of us. The tour could have continued if the guides were prepared. This could have been a blast for the terrain is quite rugged, they do move fast and go through water, so be prepared to get wet and dirty and have fun!
