OMG! This was the best BIRTHDAY adventure yet! We had an AMAZING time! Josh, Ray and George were just incredible, making us feel safe, but allowed all the fun you can possibly have! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! WE WILL BE BACK! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Miller R.

I highly recommend this place for the whole family! We had a blast! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Make sure you bring extra clothes it gets very dusty. I hear winter is the best time to come so we will definitely be back, 10/10 no complaints can't wait to be back and tear up those dirt roads :)

We drove 3 hours from LA to find this business closed! Luckily there was a neighbor outside who informed us there was no one there. Our tour was at 11am 7/23/23 and we arrived 15 min early , called repeatedly and no answer. My husband emailed and he received an email back saying we'd get a full refund for the inconvenience. Unfortunately this doesn't cover our lost time and gas!

Nothing can beat the adrenaline of off-roading! I was scared at first, thinking I might lose control of the car but the tour guide always made sure I was doing ok. They have 10,19 and 28 mile tour of desert, dunes and dust. I picked 10 miles and regretted it. I want more! Next time, I will pick the 28 mile tour.

This is perfect for a date. This isn't random riding. Your riding with an instructor that knows the trails, will let you speed when it's safe, and most importantly they are cool and personable. Had anniversary plans which got cancelled due to our autistic nonverbal son who became sick out of no where. I was desperate to just get away, even for a few hours. Found this gem on google and gave them a call. Booking was easily done on the website. A few hours later, my husband and I arrived to a big blue trailer. Jenn met us outside with a smile. I used their restrooms and to my surprise they were "clean clean". I noticed a daily cleaning log which reassured me that this place was legit. Filled out a few forms, watched a tutorial video, and paid 2 deposits since we got 2 vehicles. Our deposits was 2k per vehicle so expect that additional temporary charge. The deposit was lifted before we got into our vehicles to leave home. Our online banking showed this to be true. We did the 28mile tour. During the tour my husband and I spoke to one another via headset. Jenn educated us about the area and even showed us how to spot gold. It was a joyous ride. I am very appreciative... Helpful Hints: Deposits maybe split across different cards, drive safe or your pockets will pay for it later.

We'll worth the Tour definitely recommend the 28 mile or more! Me and my boys enjoyed this for everything it was worth! Tour Guide was amazing! Tyler led us through an amazing section lots of dips speed paths and twist and turns! Tyler had amazing commentary super funny guy who Mixxed with our group perfectly! Thanks Wild Desert Tours will be sure to Be back and you forsure locked me in on buying my own side buy side!

Haven't had so much fun in a while! Gotta admit that at a certain point i got scared, hahaha, and I feel bad for everyone's ears having to hear me yelling through the headsets (oops) but overall it was such an amazing experience and so much fun. Jenny is just a doll and made it so easy to get us started, since i have never done this before. She is amazing! She kept us engaged and gave us the headsup if anything was up ahead that needed our attention. I am definitely coming back and bringing my 10 year old son so he can experience it as well and do the 4 passenger one. Thank you for such a great time!

What an incredible time. Spent new Years weekend in Palm Springs and this was worth the drive from there! They have the CUTEST and friendliest pup on site who loves all the belly rubs. We met Ray and Liam. Both were friendly and helpful. We signed up for the 19 mile tour. Liam was a great guide and had me feeling confident in something I've never done before! My only regret is not doing the 28 mile tour. Well worth the money! Definitely recommend and plan on coming back to do the longer tour!

We booked a tour for today at 6pm and no one was there. We got there early and waited for an hour and a half in 107 degrees heat. We called and emailed several times, but no response. We paid over £1,000 dollars. We managed to speak to their neighbour who informed us that she hadn't seem them (Wild Desert Tours) for many weeks. Very disappointed considering we came all the way from the UK and was really looking foward to the tour. We have requested a refund but have not had a response yet. read more

We booked the 28 mile ride on the blue falcon! Andrew was our lead driver/guide and was great to ride with! I'm a first timer for this kind of thing and so is my boyfriend, although he has more off-roading experience in his truck. Costs: Fair pricing for the experience and what it comes with! We purchased the $40 insurance to be safe. Even riding up to 50 miles an hour and sending the dips we had no damage to our UTV. We bought the GoPro video as well since it's a special occasion. Experience: I HAD A BLAST. It felt like a rollercoaster!!! I was passenger the whole trip but I wouldn't have it any other way. The trip itself was scenic and reminiscent of Joshua Tree. Weather is perfect but bring a jacket as it gets windy. Thank you Wild Desert Tours for this UTV experience! read more

Is there an age limit for the pasangers?

State law says that children need to be such a size that they can sit with their back against the seat back and be able to hold the safety handle(s). Children that are 5 or 6 years old usually meet this requirement.

View question details

Do they deliver rentals to Calico Campground?

No. It's a guided service. They take you out directly from the business. You have your own car but the guide, in his, drives ahead communicating which way to go. Really fun! It's the right amount of driving time!!

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!

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY -- TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE We…read morebooked a mountain ATV ride with Enjoy the Mountain ATV in July 2026, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The first red flag was that the company did not provide a phone number, making it difficult to get help or clarification when we needed it. We followed their directions exactly and arrived 30 minutes early. We parked in the designated lot as instructed by the person at the gate, but our guide never came to meet us. We eventually had to drive into the park ourselves and locate the guide, who was parked on the side of the road. There was no clear signage identifying the company or where customers were supposed to check in. Once we finally found the guide, the intake process took approximately 40 minutes. After all of that, we paid approximately $700 for a ride that lasted only about 20 minutes. We were also promised pictures from the experience, but no pictures were ever provided. Lucky I took my own before riding. What made the experience even worse was the customer service afterward. Rather than taking responsibility for the poor communication, unclear instructions, lack of signage, and failure to provide what was promised, the company provided little to no accountability. For the amount of money we spent, this was absolutely not the experience we expected. Poor communication, poor organization, inadequate customer service, and failure to deliver what was promised. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this company and would strongly encourage others to consider other ATV companies before booking.

We visited the US from Europe for 3 weeks and this was by far our worst experience. I don't think…read moreI have written such long review but this experience was so poor. The owner actually runs a motel and advertises a dirt bike and quad for rental. Unfortunately, we agreed to rent and were asked to sign a very long rental agreement on the owners iPad. We then waited about 45 mins while he drove the bike/quad to the garage for gas, then we drove across town to the trails and the owner left us. First of all, the both the bike and quad are 10 years old and in poor condition. We paid $300 + 50 for gas. We did not see them before we signed (stupidly that was our fault) as that would have been a big warning sign. When they kept stalling the owner said that when they warm up, they will be fine. They weren't and made riding for my quite difficult. The console of quad kept popping off and the steering was crooked. The stand of the dirt bike was held up by a rope and it dropped down during the ride. The clutch and brake handles were both bent. Needless to say, we did not enjoy ourselves. When the owner came back at the end of ride, he said that we had scratched the back of bike and bent the clutch and asked for $70 more in damages to cover a bent clutch handle. When I asked him how he comes to $70, he became abusive and said I was a 'dick' and that the rental contract allows him to change up to $500 at his sole discretion. Shortly, there after he decided to charge $150. I will contest this with the credit card company. My advice to anyone thinking of renting is don't. If you do, read the agreement and have a look at the bike and quad and better still drive them before you sign and pay. You won't want to rent once you do that.

Something I have wanted to do for years and finally did it! My friends and I did the 42-mile tour in the Can-Am X3 max Turbo DS 4pm tour with our awesome tour guide Ray. We had the BEST time! 4pm in the desert is hot, but once you get going it feels amazing and we got to catch the beginning of the sunset. We arrived a bit late (about 20 minutes) because of some extra unforeseen traffic out of Los Angeles. I called to alert them as soon as I knew and they said it was okay and that our guide would be there when we got there. There were three of us and we all wanted to drive so we took turns to drive. Ray had the course split up so we could safely switch drivers, take pictures, and have some water. Ray was our guide and a great one. You can tell he loves driving these machines, and cares about the people he takes on the trail. One of my friends was a bit more nervous to drive and he could not have been more patient, kind, and encouraging. He communicated well and made us laugh (not always easy to do). He is also a pretty good photographer! He was on it when it came to our safety. During the ride one of the headset radio's stopped working partway through the trip when my friend was driving, he brought us to a safe space to pull off and quickly switched out her headset, then off we went again. The safety video we watched before the ride scared us......like maybe this was a bad idea scared haha! But once in the gear (head sock, helmet, gloves) and on the trail I always felt safe. Ray also helped with that by making certain we understood his directions and that we could always hear him. The vehicles are well maintained and you can tell this company cares about keeping its customers safe and its vehicles in the best condition. Pricing seemed very fair to me. I have never done this but after looking at several places before choosing Wild Desert Tours, they seemed to be fairly priced and had the best (and safest) machines. We paid the extra $40 for insurance which felt worth it just in case. And tipped our wonderful guide Ray at the end our our tour. We tipped him in cash and 20% of the tour cost ($90). I am adding this because I think people always wonder if they should tip for an experience with a guide. I say yes, especially if they guide adds positivity to they time. ***10% to 20% the cost of the trip is customary. We didn't get too dirty, just a nice dusting. They have an air compressor back at the garage where you can blow off the excess dirt before getting back into your car. They also have a bathroom with a shower, which we didn't use but I was presently surprised they offered this. If you are looking to try our dune buggies, THIS is the place! I will be coming back with friends again soon, and would recommend to anyone looking for something fun and more adventurous to do! read more

Did not at all expect to have this much fun! Most tours it's slow follow the leader style. Not this one! The guide speeds ahead and lets you take as slow or fast you want to catch up to him. The helmets are cool too! They have built in walkie talkies so your guide can communicate to you obstacles and turns ahead. They also provide gloves and head sock for free. So fun! The owner is a nurse and that made me feel pretty safe lol genuinely nice guy and an honest company. We will definitely be back! Cool side facts, the honey bee is the mellow of the three options. I was a beginner and drove the yellow bird which is taller and can go faster that one was a blast! The other option is the four seater which we didn't get because there were only two of us. Tennis shoes a must! There is a bathroom on site, and an air bnb right next to it. The air bnb is gorgeous! It's actually a house with separate rooms (each room has its own bathroom/shower) hotel style. Private patio and common kitchen and living room areas. I believe there's 8 separate rooms the link is in the website. Very cool experience! read more

If you are looking for a Wild & Crazy Exhilarating ride across all kinds of desert terrain this is the tour for you!!! We drove a 2-seater and a 4- seater for over 40 miles!! The route kept us entertained with hills, valley's, bumps, turns and exhilarating speed!!! This tour is legit and truly the most fun off road adventure. Our guide Josh was super chill and allowed freedom to have fun in a safe manner. We communicated with him and our family via mic/coms in our helmets. He answered questions along the route and joked with us throughout the day. Super fun and adrenaline packed experience for us all. Easy drive from LA and a tour that should be on everyone's bucket list. Our tour ended right at sunset which was spectacular but we all agreed we will return to reserve a night ride soon. read more

Ten times better then expected. Our guide Josh was excellent and gave us all safety equipment needed for no extra charge. Then installed radio transmitters on our helmets so we can all communicate with each other which made it more fun. He led the way and we followed at our own pace. As we followed he then would call out hazards and turns, so we knew what to expect without dangerous surprises. My adrenaline was through the roof for hours. It is out of control fun but I felt safe with Josh answering all questions. Water and snacks were provided. I would highly recommend this to anyone young or old. I will be coming back with friends and family. read more

Had an amazing time, it was a lot more fun than I expected. The staff members were extremely helpful and friendly. The ride itself was amazing, had chosen the 19 mile tour and now I'm more than certain I'll be coming back for their longer mile tours. A very much different experience that needs to be on everyone's to do list. The tour guide, Jenny made the tour not feel as much of a tour but more of just a really fun trip by giving us distance through the tour and giving us our choice of pace. For everyone who is debating on booking a tour, I highly recommend you do. read more

Took a 19 mile tour with our guide Jenny! They start off with a safety video and thoroughly go over everything you need to know prior to getting on one of these ATVs. You must be 18+ with a valid license to drive! They cover safety perfectly. I had such a fun time and felt safe when Jenny guided us, she let us know exactly what to expect down the trail. Would love to come back here for an even longer tour next time. Plus how cool is it driving down a desert where nobody else drives through?! Definitely recommend them :) read more

This was without a doubt the best adventure trip ever! Jenny guided us through the brief class beforehand, and then the action really began! The turbo side by sides tray pack a punch, and they need it when you're racing around the desert at high speeds. Think nasal, but with tight turns and off-road. I can't stress enough, if you're wondering whether you want to do this? YOU WANT TO DO THIS lol. Try it out, and thank me after. read more
