Las Vegas ATV Tour Reviews

1. Hidden Valley and Primm Extreme ATV Tour

Let’s start things off with the Hidden Valley and Primm Extreme ATV Tour. Lasting 4 to 5 hours, it’s the perfect amount of time to spend to simultaneously relax and have a ton of fun! Including hotel pickup and drop-off, all you have to worry about is bringing along a sense of adventure!

A lot of people want to go to Vegas, but aren’t fans of the crowds. That may be a difficult dichotomy for some, but if you are into off roading you’re in luck!

You’ll start off by you and the rest of your group being picked up by an air-conditioned, comfortable vehicle that will transport you there and back. The trip there is only maybe 20, 30 minutes max so it’s not like it’s a hassle to get out there.

Along your route, you’ll pass the legendary Seven Magic Mountains, which is one of the most famous desert art installations in the area.

If you’ve driven to Vegas before, you know that there are a ton of desert art installations out there, so that is really saying a lot.

Once you arrive on location, the staff will give you a safety briefing. This safety briefing is pretty, well, brief. As this tour does require that you have prior ATV experience, there’s not much instruction on how to use the vehicle, aside from the very basics. That makes sense though, and that’s not to say the staff wasn’t helpful.

Now you’ll get to zoom around the other-worldly desert landscapes, over winding rails, to mountain overlooks, and exhilarating, off-road racetracks. The lava beds were a crowd favorite of almost everybody, and really makes you feel like you’re on another planet.

2. ATV Tour in Las Vegas with Hotel Pickup

Next up, we have a slightly shorter tour that’s perfect if your day is packed with plans. The ATV Tour in Las Vegas with Hotel Pickup lasts 3 hours, yet still includes hotel pickup and drop-off so everything is smooth and streamlined without having to pay for or schedule transportation in addition.

This one is great for those who haven’t gone ATV riding before, just as well for those who are experienced pros!

Once you’re picked up, you’ll share the shuttle bus that services any resort or hotel within the Las Vegas valley. Just be prepared for it taking up to 30 minutes to get to your destination, depending on how heavy traffic is, and how many stops there are.

Unlike the last tour, this one utilizes a shared shuttle instead of a private one. Not to worry though, as it doesn’t get packed or uncomfortable and is more or less the same amount of time spent in the vehicle.

Once you arrive on location, you’ll check in with the crew, where they’ll get you all fitted with your gear. We noticed that the goggles and helmets were in very good condition, and fit very well.

We appreciated the “little things” like the fact that they offer snacks and have restrooms and lockers included to keep your valuables.

After you are all ready to go, you’ll receive a briefing on safety and how to drive the ATVs. Before you set out, you can choose to take a few spins on their practice track, too. The staff is super friendly and helpful, should you have any doubts or questions.

The 30-minute ride is a blast, and comes with a free Hot Shot Photo of the group with your ATVs or Buggies, too.

3. Hidden Valley ATV Half-Day Tour from Las Vegas

The next tour on our guide is the Hidden Valley ATV Half-Day Tour from Las Vegas. This comprehensive tour lasts 4 to 5 hours, depending on traffic. However, we felt is was just the right amount of time to get away from the city and just let loose and have some fun in the “middle of nowhere”!

If you kind of want a break from the crowds (which Vegas has plenty of!) then check this one out. Even if you’re a complete newbie when it comes to ATVs, this tour will change your mind. The staff is fantastic at teaching newcomers.

They’re very patient, friendly, and keep safety at the forefront of their operation. Meet up with the guide at your hotel lobby and hop aboard your air-conditioned coach out to Jean. Located about half an hour from the strip, it’s perfectly located: not too far, not too close.

The trails can be a bit challenging, especially if you decide to go faster, but you can rest assured there is something for every experience level. The guides even made suggestions to change things up a bit and add even more excitement into the mix.

We found them to be very attentive, making sure everyone has a good time without being put in danger. They always make sure everyone has enough water, too, which is essential when out in the sunny desert.

The views are absolutely amazing, with the McCullough Mountain Range surrounding the area. We guarantee you’ll love the extinct lava beds, which feel like you’ve been transported to another planet or something!

The Primm Valley overlook is also breathtaking, and you’ll have plenty of time to grab some photos or videos!

4. ATV Tour of Lake Mead and Colorado River from Las Vegas

Maybe you’re looking to escape the city for a bit longer. If so, then we’ve got just the tour for you: the ATV Tour of Lake Mead and Colorado River from Las Vegas. On this tour, you’ll not only get to go cruising around on ATVs – you’ll also get to see the lake, river, Hoover Dam, and more beautiful sites!

Lasting 6.5 hours with transport included, you do have a hotel pickup and drop-off available and all transportation comes included. This is really the most convenient, fun way to see all of these sites while also having a blast!

Once picked up from the hotel, you and the rest of your group will make your way to Hoover Dam. Once you arrive, you’ll get about 15 to 20 minutes to take some photos and videos.

The guides know all the best lookout spots, and you’ll get to stand almost 1000 feet above the dam and Colorado River on the bridge.

Next, you’ll drive for approximately 3 hours through the gorgeous Lake Mead National Park, to the Colorado River. The drive is quite interesting, and we’ll sure you’ll appreciate the views from your window on the way there.

However, you’ll also have plenty of time for some more photo ops. If you go in the warmer months, you’ll even get to take a little dip in the water!

Afterward, you’ll make your way to get on some ATVs! The guides do an excellent job at instructing everyone on how to use these safely and effectively, while still having fun.

They’ll outfit you all with proper safety gear, and make sure everyone is hydrated and comfortable. By this point, you’re sure to have worked up an appetite so enjoy their onsite restaurant for some lunch: their world-famous burgers, fries, and soda!

5. 2 Hour Las Vegas Desert Off Road Adventure

Perhaps you’ve really scheduled a lot into your day, or simply aren’t as interested in longer ATV tours. If so, that’s perfectly fine! The 2 Hour Las Vegas Desert Off Road Adventure is exactly that; packing a whole lotta fun into just a couple of hours!

This tour is the whole package, too: it includes round-trip transport to and from your hotel, plenty of water, snacks, and all necessary safety equipment to make sure everyone is safe! Once you arrive, the crew will fit you with a full-face helmet.

These helmets are clearly high-quality and well taken care of. They come with an in-helmet circulation system, keeping your head and face cool and making it easy to breathe.

Now that you have the proper gear, you’ll receive a safety briefing and instruction on how to use all the equipment and vehicles. We should mention that this tour isn’t actually on ATVs.

Rather, you’ll be speeding around in a 110HP side-by-side, which is perfect if you’re going with your significant other or a buddy. Not only that, but it’s great for those who don’t want to drive, themselves.

You’ll go through all kinds of beautiful, interesting desert terrain. The guides are professional off-road racers, and are extremely helpful and attentive. They’ll take you to different trails, depending on what you want to do and how confident you feel.

Each tour, they do take some time to stop for photos at particularly beautiful viewpoints. At this time, you can also switch drivers if you’d like.

After you cool off, you’ll get some free, refreshing beverages and snacks, along with a cool towel to clean off with, and a gift bag. It was a really nice gesture, and does make a big difference.

6. Hidden Valley and Primm ATV Tour

Vegas isn’t often associated with getting dirty on some trails or off-roading! However, the desert surrounding the city is absolutely prime for this kind of fun, and is a great way to get away from the concrete jungle for a bit!

The Hidden Valley and Primm ATV Tour lasts about 4 to 5 hours and will take you through all kinds of beautiful terrain with adrenaline packed in.

Just like with the others we’ve covered so far, this tour also includes a hotel pickup and drop-off option. Just make sure to communicate with the tour ahead of time to make sure your hotel is included in the pickup area.

On the way to your ATV location, you’ll pass by the legendary Seven Magic Mountains desert art installation.

This art installation is a social media favorite, and perfect for fun and interesting photo ops! It also breaks up the already-short drive out to Jean, filling the experience with entertainment.

Once you arrive, you’ll receive a safety briefing where the guides tell you how to operate the vehicles, how to wear your equipment properly, what to avoid, and other valuable tips. Thanks to their attentiveness, everyone felt safe and had a great time.

You’ll go through the historic Hidden Valley National Monument, where you’ll experience extinct lava beds (that look super cool!), the varied mountains around the area, and the stunning Primm Valley overlook.

If you want an exciting Vegas experience that doesn’t involve casinos or shows, then this is right up your alley!

7. Eldorado Canyon ATV and Gold Mine Trip from Las Vegas

Perhaps you really want to make the most out of your time out zipping around the desert. If so, then we have the perfect tour for you!

The Eldorado Canyon ATV and Gold Mine Trip from Las Vegas perfectly highlights the “old west” history of Vegas while also letting you speed around on top-notch ATVs!

Lasting approximately 6.5 hours, this tour is great if you have plans at night, but have the entire day free. With hotel pickup and drop-off available, it’s the most convenient, streamlined, affordable way to experience all that this tour offers!

Once you arrive to the launch site, you’ll have a safety orientation, get fitted with your safety equipment, and learn how to use an ATV or UTV.

The UTV option is nice, too, because it comes with a roof to shield you a bit from the sun, and has you and a partner sitting side-by-side.

Once you’re ready, your guide will lead the way through all kinds of trails and off-roading fun! Next, you’ll get ready for a walking tour of the Techatticup mine.

The guides are incredibly informative and make this a very educational, interesting experience. For example, they tell you how the very deep shafts are reported to be haunted.

While they tell you this, you and the rest of your crew will walk through the same spaces miners once hunted for gold.

Lunch is incredible, and is located in an Old West Town, which was once a 19^th-century mining camp! While you have your picnic lunch, you’ll get to take in the same desert landscapes that miners once did.
