    Booked with Tyler. He was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable and just a great dude! Beautiful drive and well worth it. Money well spent!

    The best experience I have had in such a long time! Allan was knowledgeable, fun, kept us alive, and had a killer playlist! The trail was a perfect mixture of adrenaline and scenery. I will definitely be back!

    This is truly an off road experience! You're not just meandering through the woods. You're rockin' through the woods! Bob is an excellent guide and I would recommend this highly. The vehicle was something I've never seen and the suspension is so smooth even though you're going over bumps.

    5-stars to Big Bear Off-Road Experience!! We booked the Tourzilla online, showed up at the office at our designated time, signed some waivers and off we went. Desi took us up through Holcomb Valley Backcountry and Gold Fever Trail. We climbed up to 7.5k ft elevation, all the while, listening to some great tunes and Desi chiming in to talk about local history, mining heritage, plants, wildlife and off-road techniques & etiquette. We stopped at least 5x on the tour to get up close and soak up some stories and history of the area. Desi has a heart of Gold, he's passionate about this tour and it shows. He was really in-tune with our family's special needs and we really appreciated that. Don't sleep on this one y'all, you won't regret it! Book it!

    Second time going here did The Squeeze tour and was SOOOOO FUNN! Took my whole family and everyone had so much fun. It was a good twist of scary and fun lol make sure you get a good driver to drive lol! Our guide was Tyler and we had so much fun! He was also able to record part of the ride for us which was great! 10/10 recommended to anyone who goes to Big Bear

    This is hands down one of the absolute coolest experiences of my life. So much fun. My wife and I had an excellent time. Our tour guide Alan was awesome and hilarious. I can't wait to do this again. Easily the single most fun thing to do in the city. We will definitely be coming back.

    We had a small group of just us two and another couple. Our driver and guide Allen (Alan?) showed us a great time. Kept us entertained the whole way. Great experience with amazing views. He's a great dude too!

    Amazing experience, highly recommended! Tyler was our tour guide and I can't say enough good things about our trip with him. We booked a bit last minute due to lack of snow on the mountains so we kept our snowboards dry. I had some off roading experience and was able to take my own truck, and the rest of the family were able to take one of theirs. Everyone had a great time, from age 9-67!

    Driving on the rocky trail and this isn't even where we were driving over huge rocks lol

    The off-roading experience was great! We did the intermediate so the John Bull trail. Some of it you're kinda like woahhhhh OoOooOo oh crap!! lol cause you're bouncing off the rocks like you're going to break the jeep hahaha but it was lots of fun!! Tyler was a great guide and knew random facts about our route. Had us smell some fresh sage. If you're bringing little ones, be sure to book the larger vehicle and be prepared to use your own car seat. Thank you!!

    Started off a little rough for my daughter, but our tour guide Bob was super flexible. He slowed it way down and made it a much more enjoyable ride for her and my son. I really enjoyed learning all about the history of big bear and my favorite part was going to the little cabin in the valley. Bob is amazing. Thanks for everything.

    What a tour - thanks Connor!

    Hey Dave, to be honest I'm not sure if they allow dogs or not. But you can always give them a call, there super nice and helpful. I wouldn't suggest it because the jeeps have no doors on them and no roof top, so everything is open. Plus I would be… Read more

    Is this a self guided tour/rental or is there someone with us the whole time?

    What's a proper tip?

    15 % of your total experience cost, before taxes, is a pretty normal amount. In our case, we ended up tipping our guide just over 20%. It really just depends on you and how you enjoyed your experience. We have friends who tip more and some who tip… Read more

    Unforgettable Family Adventure with Happy Trails Rental!…read more We recently took our family to Palm Springs for a fun weekend filled with stargazing, hiking, and off-roading--and hands down, the highlight of the entire trip was our experience with Happy Trails Rental. We rented two side-by-sides (one 4-seater and one 2-seater) and chose the Scavenger Hunt, which was perfect since we had my younger nephew with us. From start to finish, Ben and Tony were absolutely fantastic--extremely helpful, communicative, and transparent every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which allowed us to focus on having fun as a family. They even provided a cooler for us to pack lunch, and the navigation was pre-mapped with clear waypoints, making it easy to explore without worrying about getting lost. We stopped multiple times along the way to take pictures, enjoy the scenery, and just soak in the experience. The entire time, my family was smiling from ear to ear. Ben and Tony are true professionals, and it really shows in how well they run their business and take care of their customers. If you're looking to spend a few unforgettable hours outdoors with your family, I can't recommend Happy Trails Rental enough. We will absolutely be back!

Even paper ski masks to help keep out the dust! That was a very nice and unexpected touch. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews about getting the waivers done. But it's not hard. I've worked in IT help desks for years so I know some people are just not good with a computer. That's fine. Just read the instructions carefully and you'll get thru. Or just get help from a teenager. :-) To get to this location they give you very good directions. If you follow them you'll have no issues. It's actually very easy! But GPS is not great for the less traveled roads in the mountains going to a place that doesn't really have a street address. We will be going back soon! Hopefully for 2 hours next time!

I was able to book a trip for Aug 25 online and did so in June of 25. Trip was for a Tuesday. On my way up the mountain Sunday night the owner texted me saying he had to cancel. He also left a VM saying he was canceling because he cant afford the insurance to operate the business. I asked when I could expect a refund on my CC. No response. I waited until the next day late in the morning, when there was still no response. to contact my CC company to challenge the charge. That afternoon he said he was going to refund me but couldn't. I believe he said he couldn't do it because I challenged the charge. If he was going to give me a refund then why not just respond to my text the day before and let me know that? Anyway, I have tried two years in a row and give up. If you are going to Big Bear don't count on a trip with this company.

We saw some rock formations that were absolutely gorgeous, with deep history and a killer view of the valley. We even got to hike a little bit at the top of a mountain. This is a great way to spend a unique couple of hours in Big Bear. There's nothing else like this in BBL as far as I know. We recommend it to our guests who visit our home which we rent out via VRBO / AirB&B.

Pick up and drop off was shady behind someone else's house and neighbors told us that they always gave their address for some reason. They was very unhappy with Mike and his crew too.

No Customer service. Pure SCAM. DO NOT USE THEM. Wont pick up my calls.
