Ride guide · DUNE BUGGY TOURS IN THE USA
The good dune buggy tours in the USA run a finite fleet and the best machines go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Trade the Strip for a private, high-energy buggy ride across Nellis Dunes. Choose a one, two, or four-seat vehicle, drive 30 or 60 minutes, and follow guides such as Shane, MJ, Charlie, or Victor over rocky, sandy terrain with Strip views from the dunes.
“Very fun activity, Very dusty, not really a chase as advertised though. Definitely would do again. Ask for Mike D.”
Ride a two-person Polaris side by side from Otto Lake Road into Denali back country, following valleys, streams, rocky trails, and tundra toward Black Diamond Peak. Guides such as Alyssa, Andrew, Naomi, and Mantas lead the way. Expect big views, mud, a bumpy ride, and a generous breakfast or dinner.
“Great experience, tons of fun! Ashley and Andrew were great guides and full of knowledge. Would definitely recommend 10/10!”
Spend 3.5 hours driving an ATV through Valley of Fire, then take a 1.5-hour buggy run across the Vegas Dunes. Guides such as Patrick, Eric, and Jimmy may lead the day. Hotel pickup, helmets, goggles, water, lunch, and a ride-along ATV option make this a full desert outing.
“Quad tour was great, with a fantastic guide. Excellent mix of the tracks, half gravel, half sand with dunes. A good 3 hours was perfect. Buggy part was not so good though: just 1 hour, mostly on gravel, with poor cars. Altogether, a great day-tour worth every Cent!”
Trade theme parks for a guided dune buggy ride through the countryside near Saint Cloud. Drivers must be 16 or older, no license is needed, and Long, Ivan, Alejandro, and the crew provide instruction and trail help. Expect mud, water, transport time, and a private group outing.
“The hosts were great. Very fun and great experience. Definitely worth it and we can’t wait to return.”
Cruise Miami’s Wynwood Art District in a one-hour buggy with an English-speaking local artist such as Morazul, Danny, Marco, or Javier. See major murals, hear how graffiti and street art shaped the neighborhood, pause for photos, and finish at Wynwood Walls.
“Wonderful tour of the gorgeous Wynwood Walls! Highly recommend”
Ride through Wynwood in a comfortable electric buggy with a local artist-guide such as Jeronimo, Morazul, Danny, or Marisol. Stop for murals, hear how graffiti and street art shaped the district, and finish near Wynwood Walls for further exploring. Groups are limited to seven.
“I’ve lived in South Florida my whole life and never knew all of the different styles and meanings behind the Wynwood walls. Very cool tour. Our guide Geronimo knew so much about the walls and is an artist himself. You can really feel his passion. Highly recommend.”
You’ll drive or ride in a two-person UTV sand buggy across the Sonoran Desert and Tonto National Forest near Mesa. Guides such as Kevin, Don, Aiden, and Chris share stories about wildlife, cactus, and local history while you chase sunset views near Saguaro Lake and Four Peaks.
“Beautiful ride through the desert. Caught an amazing sunset. Traveled in the back of the hummer with the side open so fun!”
