THE SUNSET

An evening ride timed for desert light

The tour is built around a sunset run—an evening departure that brings riders into the desert as the light softens, creating the central scenic payoff of the outing.

THE FLEET

Two accessible vehicle options

Participants choose between a semi‑automatic Honda 250ex suited to adults and teenagers and a fully automatic Kawasaki 90 intended for younger riders, making the tour adaptable for mixed‑age groups.

THE KIT

Safety gear included for every rider

Helmets, goggles, gloves and backpacks are provided for the tour so families can focus on the ride and the view rather than packing extra equipment.

What the day feels like

What the ride feels like

The Sunset ATV Tour unfolds over roughly two hours: guests arrive, choose a vehicle appropriate for age and experience, don provided protective gear, and depart with a guide for a paced run timed to reach key viewpoints as daylight wanes. The machines are intentionally easy to use—semi‑automatic and fully automatic options—to keep the focus on the landscape and shared family experience.
