⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Real Guest Review
“We were laughing so hard the whole entire ride… I was a little bit worried that this tour would be boring for me, but it was so much fun and I think riders of all experience levels can feel comfortable and have a good time!”

Why Guests Choose the Summer Value Adventure 🌞
Professional Arrival Experience
Your adventure begins at the climate-controlled Wolf Den, designed for a smooth, organized start — not a dusty parking lot or trailhead meet-up.
Same Scenic Tomcar Adventure Route 🌵
This is not a stripped-down parking-lot ride or a watered-down trail loop. You drive the same military-grade Tomcar ATVs on the same scenic Sonoran Desert route used for our standard Half-Day Tomcar ATV Tour.
You will experience rugged desert trails, beautiful Arizona scenery, mountain views, desert washes, and the open-air excitement of driving a purpose-built Tomcar through the Sonoran Desert.
Shorter Stops for Summer Comfort ☀️
During cooler months, guests enjoy spending more time outside the vehicles while our Adventure Guides share desert stories, survival knowledge, flora, fauna, local history, and Arizona desert lore.
In the summer, guests usually prefer to spend less time standing in the sun. So for this adventure, we keep the same route but shorten the stops. You still get the guide entertainment and desert interpretation — just in a smarter format for warmer weather.
Ends Earlier in the Day ⏰
This tour runs from approximately 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, which allows it to end about an hour earlier than our traditional Half-Day Tomcar ATV Tour.
That means you get your desert adventure in before the later-morning heat becomes more intense.
Better Summer Price 💵
At $159 per person, this summer-only adventure is $30 less than our standard Half-Day Tomcar ATV Tour while still giving you the same core Tomcar driving adventure.
It is a great option for guests who want the Desert Wolf experience, the military-grade Tomcar ride, the scenic route, and the professional guide — in a shorter summer format at a lower price.
VIP Legends Bar & Grill Coupon 🍔🥤
After your tour, head to nearby Legends Bar & Grill in Anthem, AZ and enjoy 20% off your entire food and beverage bill with your Desert Wolf VIP coupon.
It is a great way to cool down, relax, grab lunch, and turn your morning desert ride into a complete Arizona adventure.
Why Desert Wolf Tours? 🐺
Professional Arrival Experience 🏜️
Your adventure begins at the Desert Wolf Tours Wolf Den, located at:
46639 N Black Canyon Hwy
Phoenix, AZ 85087
The Wolf Den is our climate-controlled tour home base designed to give guests a clean, organized, professional start to their adventure — not a dusty roadside meet-up or confusing trailhead check-in.
Military-Grade Tomcar Vehicles 🚙
Our Tomcars are purpose-built off-road vehicles designed for rugged desert use. They provide great visibility, a stable ride, and a fun open-air driving experience.
Guests 18 and older are not required to wear helmets and goggles because our Tomcars are equipped with full roll cages and windshields.
Professional Adventure Guides 🤠
Our Adventure Guides are there to do more than point you down a trail. They lead the convoy, explain the route, manage safety, keep the group together, and make the tour entertaining from start to finish.
You will hear desert stories, local history, information about native plants and wildlife, and some good old-fashioned Arizona personality along the way.
Built for Summer Mornings ☀️
Many off-road tour companies already offer two-hour tours year-round. Our standard tour is longer because we normally believe guests get more value from a deeper, more complete experience.
But summer is different.
During the hotter months, a shorter tour can actually be the better guest experience. This adventure gives you the Desert Wolf quality, vehicles, route, guides, and hospitality — in a format that makes sense for Arizona summer weather.
We Plan for Everything So Your Adventure Never Stops 🐺
Desert Wolf Tours is known for preparation, professionalism, and guest care. Our team works hard behind the scenes so guests can relax, have fun, and enjoy the adventure.
From check-in to the trail and back again, our goal is simple:

This is the best thing I have done in Arizona in the five days I’ve been here. The TomCars are really fun to drive and ride in, and that scenery you see is breathtaking. Hunter, our guide, was phenomenal, knowledgeable, and really friendly and accommodating. You will never regret doing this tour.
– Bethbc530, Chicopee, MAThis is a great experience. Our twins are 17 years old, and they brought along their 17 year old friend as well. The thrill of handling the TomCar around the desert is unmatched, and the kids really enjoyed hunting for desert creatures, including a lot of scorpion sightings. Kevin made everyone feel comfortable, and was open to as many questions as we could thing up. I will recommend this to anyone traveling to Scottsdale.
– Keith C.What was not to love?!! Three women, a Tomcar and Kevin–the PERFECT guide on our desert tour. He was great fun and added to our knowledge of survival in an unknown environment. We can ALL 100% recommend this excursion–THE BEST!

Is this the same route as the Half-Day Tomcar ATV Tour?
Yes. The Summer Value Adventure follows the same general Sonoran Desert route as our standard Half-Day Tomcar ATV Tour. The difference is that the stops are shorter because summer guests typically prefer to spend less time standing outside in the sun.
Why is this tour shorter?
Arizona summer mornings can still be enjoyable on the trail, especially when the Tomcars are moving. However, standing in direct sun during the later part of the morning can be uncomfortable. This tour is designed to give guests the best part of the Desert Wolf Tomcar experience while reducing the amount of time spent standing outside at stops.
Is it too hot to take an ATV tour in the summer?
The heat feels very different while you are moving through the desert in an open-sided Tomcar. The ride itself is usually enjoyable for guests who are prepared for summer weather. The tougher part is standing still in direct sun, which is why this tour keeps the stops shorter and ends earlier than our standard tour.
What time does the tour run?
The Summer Value Adventure runs from approximately 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Guests should arrive at least 15 minutes early for check-in.
How long is the tour?
The tour lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours actual tour time.
Where do we meet?
All tours depart from the Desert Wolf Tours Wolf Den:
46639 N Black Canyon Hwy
Phoenix, AZ 85087Your confirmation email will include the exact address, directions, arrival time, and tour details.
What is included with the Legends Bar & Grill VIP coupon?
Each participant receives a VIP coupon for 20% off their entire food and beverage bill at Legends Bar & Grill in Anthem, AZ. It is a great way to cool down, grab lunch, and continue your Arizona experience after the tour.
Do we still get to drive the Tomcar?
Yes. Guests who meet the driver requirements may drive the Tomcar during the tour. Drivers must be at least 16 years old and have a valid driver’s license. Minor drivers may have additional requirements.
Do we need experience?
No experience is required. Your Adventure Guide will provide instructions before the tour and lead the group throughout the experience.
Do adults need to wear helmets and goggles?
Guests 18 and older are not required to wear helmets and goggles because our Tomcars are equipped with full roll cages and windshields. Guests under 18 must wear a DOT-approved helmet, which we can provide.
What should we wear?
Dress for the weather and expect a real desert adventure. Closed-toe shoes are recommended. During summer, lightweight clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat are smart choices. Please check the weather before your tour.
Should we bring water?
We provide bottled water, but you are welcome to bring your own non-alcoholic beverages.
Do we need reservations in advance?
Yes. All reservations must be made in advance.
You can conveniently book online using our real-time availability calendar. Or, call 877-613-9653 (WOLF) and we will be glad to help you.
What is your cancellation policy?
