Ultimate Desert Adventures, near Valley of Fire, Nevada. Rated ★★★★★
Rented a four-seater for a half day, reserved in advance. The staff were friendly and helpful. I chose this place because it was out near the off-road location, not a long shuttle ride from Vegas (and we could explore Valley of Fire on our way back). I was glad my small 6-year-old son fit in the seat — he liked riding in the front, and the back was large enough for a big adult. He would have liked a smaller helmet but he did okay. The buggy was clean and well set up, and ran well. We got the non-turbo which was just fine, no need to go any faster! I’m a GPS geek so I found the unit they supplied small and impossible to read while driving, but OK for navigator; we only got off track once and found our way back quickly. We did the standard loop, north of Valley of Fire. We switched drivers several times. The first/last part of the course on a dirt road was the hardest; once you got down to the wash driving was easy. After the dunes, we enjoyed walking to the petroglyphs. I tried to do some drone photos, but there was a little too much wind for my little Mavic Mini — at altitude above the red rocks it nearly got blown away! It was a little hard to tell how long it would take to get back, so we ended up a little early but the little guy was falling asleep anyway. Take your time if you can, enjoy the dunes and the scenery! On the way back we drove through Valley of Fire with was amazing.
