THE FLEET

Varied ATVs and UTVs for many ages and skill levels

Steve’s offers multiple models of rental ATVs and UTVs so riders can match machine to experience level and group size, making the dunes accessible for beginners and more confident drivers alike.

THE FORMAT

Self‑guided freedom

This is not a guided tour: your rental time is yours to explore the dune area independently and set your own pace across the sand.

THE VIEWS

Breathtaking Oregon Dunes scenery

Spend four hours moving through expansive dune terrain and coastal vistas, taking in the variety of shapes and viewpoints the landscape offers.

What the day feels like

What it feels like

After check‑in at the rental office you climb into your chosen machine and head straight out from the staging area into the dunes. With no guide to follow, the day is a series of decisions — which ridgeline to crest, when to stop for a view, how hard to push a machine — all within a four‑hour window that rewards pacing and attention to terrain.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should take extra precautions.

1
Licensed drivers and solo adultsIdeal for adults who can present a valid driver’s license or ID and are comfortable operating an ATV or UTV independently; valid ID is required for all riders 18 and over.
2
Families with minorsFamilies can participate, but riders under 18 must have written consent from a parent or legal guardian if that guardian is not present at check in.
3
First‑time ridersAppropriate for novices because rentals include a safety briefing and a range of machine models, but newcomers should plan to arrive early for instruction and start on gentler terrain.
4
Those with license restrictionsNot appropriate for anyone with a suspended or revoked driver’s license: such drivers are not allowed to operate rentals.

Helmets are required; you may bring your own or use one of the operator’s helmets included with the rental. Backpacks are useful for carrying personal items.
