New ATV Lover here!
SO MUCH FUN! The guides were so friendly, funny and knowledgeable about the area. They were very cautious as they sensed out our comfort and gave us an experience perfect for our skill level. I found a love for ATVs I never knew I had. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a dirty, off road, exciting activity.

It was a great day in Yosemite! Snowshoe John is a park legend and extremely knowledgeable. He shows amazing views and provides a friendly atmosphere along the way. The homemade lunch in Yosemite Valley was the best part. Would go again!

One of the best experiences, so much fun! Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable about local geography, as well as climbing. I am a hiker, but I’ve never been rock climbing, and we felt safe and secure the whole time, and the views were amazing! 10/10 experience, highly recommend!

Electric Dirtbike Adventure in Lake Tahoe
Michele_M, Aug 2026
Good times to be had!
It was a fun experience but not for beginners in my opinion. If you haven’t been dirt biking before I wouldn’t choose this to be your first time. But for those that have experience off-road riding this is a thrill for you for sure. Our guide Ryan was very informative and took the time to explain everything thoroughly to us. We were even treated by watching some very experienced riders jumping the track course and some four wheel vehicles climbing the rock. Our tour was about 2hrs & 15 minutes long and I don’t think my body could’ve taken any more jolting around. This is coming from a 58 your old woman, and my husband being 53 felt the same way as me at the end of our ride. It was a great experience and glad to have been able to check it off our bucket list. It brought back memories of when I use to do this about 40 yrs ago.

Cheryl_H, Aug 2026
Excellent excursion
The ATV tour was excellent! Our guides Matt and Skyler were knowledgeable on multiple levels. In addition to area history, we learned much about the forest, types of trees and how impacted by different sources, etc. Even saw an eagle soaring over our lake destination and watched it dive to catch a fish - a National Geograhic moment. We were also well-trained before heading out on the ATVs.

Wild West Day Trip to Virginia City from Tahoe with Train Ride
Christy_G, Aug 2026
Fun and informative
This was a great tour to round out other more Lake Tahoe centered tours during our vacation. Our guide, Nevada, was witty, fun, and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He took the long way to Virginia City on the way out to show us parts of the state we had not seen before, including beautiful views of the valley. The approx half hour train ride was charmingly and perfectly narrated and included even more history of the area. The rest of the day is spent on the main street of the town and you can choose your own activities for a few hours before the ride back. Bring sunglasses and a hat if you are sensitive to the sun. Highly recommended.
