Escape the resorts and spas of Scottsdale for an adrenaline-fueled ride through the rugged Sonoran Desert. Our ATV tours depart just 25 minutes north of Old Town.
Scottsdale is known for world-class golf, luxury resorts, and fine dining — but just beyond the city limits lies one of the most spectacular desert landscapes in North America. Phoenix ATV Adventures brings Scottsdale visitors into the heart of the Sonoran Desert for guided ATV tours through the foothills of the Tonto National Forest near Cave Creek. The terrain here is unlike anything you'll find on a golf course: rocky washes, sandy trails, rolling desert hills dotted with towering saguaro cacti, and panoramic mountain views that stretch to the horizon. Whether you're visiting Scottsdale for a spa weekend, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or a corporate retreat, an ATV tour adds an unforgettable adventure element to any trip. Our experienced guides lead small groups through trails suited to all skill levels, from first-time riders to seasoned off-roaders.
Scottsdale visitors consistently tell us that the ATV tour was the highlight of their Arizona trip. After days of poolside relaxation and fine dining, guests crave something active and exciting — and there's nothing quite like powering through desert trails with the wind in your face and the Sonoran landscape stretching in every direction. Couples staying at Scottsdale's renowned resorts love our private tours for a unique date experience, while groups heading to Scottsdale for celebrations find that an ATV adventure creates shared memories that last far longer than any dinner reservation. The proximity is a major factor too: you can be on the trails within 25 minutes of leaving your Scottsdale hotel, and back in time for happy hour.
