Sedona Half-Day UTV Adventure: Off-Road Rentals at Outback ATV Rental of Sedona
Get behind the wheel for a four-hour sweep through Sedona’s red-rock country. Outback ATV Rental of Sedona offers GPS-mapped UTV and ATV rentals that get you off the highway and into washes, fins, and hidden swimming holes.
The Experience
Before You Go
Know the vehicle limits
Match your chosen UTV to the route—high-performance models require drivers 25+ and demand more cautious handling on slickrock.
Hydrate and protect
Even a half‑day in Sedona’s sun can dehydrate you—use the supplied cooler, carry extra water, and wear goggles for dust protection.
Stick to mapped routes
Use the included GPS tablet and stay on designated roads to protect fragile cryptobiotic soils and avoid private or sensitive archaeological sites.
Check tire pressure
Lowering tire pressure slightly improves traction on slickrock—ask staff for the recommended setting for your vehicle and route.
