Planning an off-road adventure in the Valley of Fire requires a bit of preparation. Here is what you need to know about tour options, requirements, and logistics before securing your ATV or UTV tour.
You can choose between riding a traditional ATV (quad), a single-seater UTV buggy, or a 2-person UTV if you want to share the ride. All off-road tours are guided group experiences to ensure you stay on designated trails.
Most tours are comprehensive half-day packages lasting about 5.5 hours. They typically include complimentary hotel pick-up and drop-off from the Las Vegas Strip or Fremont Street, lunch, bottled water, and all safety gear.
To drive an ATV or UTV, you must be at least 18 years old. You are required to present a valid driver's license on the day of your tour, so do not forget to pack it.
Off-roading is bumpy and physically engaging. These tours are not recommended for pregnant travelers, or anyone with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health.
Summer temperatures from May through September regularly exceed 100°F and can top 120°F. While water is provided, you must dress in sun-protective clothing. The best months to ride are October through April.
