Valley of Fire UTV Tour from Las Vegas: Scenic 2-Person Off-Road Adventure
Trade the Strip for a red-rock playground: a guided 2-person UTV tour takes you from Las Vegas into Valley of Fire’s Aztec sandstone ridges for 3 hours of off-road riding, photo stops, and a packed lunch. Expect dunes, petroglyphs, and roughly 30–40 miles of trail.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the tour
Desert heat can arrive fast; drink plenty of water before pickup and use the ice-cold water provided during the tour.
Wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection
Sturdy shoes, long sleeves, a hat for off-UTV time, and high-SPF sunscreen protect you from heat and abrasive sand.
Secure loose items
Use zippered packs or leave phones in the shuttle—wind and bumps will toss unsecured items from open UTVs.
Listen to the safety briefing
Guides will cover throttle control, vehicle spacing, and sites to avoid; following instructions keeps the ride fun and safe.
