Everyone needs to sign a waiver before we start. Single ATV riders must be under 463 lbs, and when riding double, the combined weight should be below 615 lbs.

SEDONA WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Sedona’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s best to come prepared. In winter, dress in layers because it can get quite cold. We offer gloves for purchase if you need them. Remember, there’s no storage on the ATVs, so bring a backpack for extra jackets or hats. If the weather isn’t suitable for your tour, we’ll do our best to reschedule or offer a gift card/credit for a future ride.
ATV OPERATION ON TOURS
Before we hit the trails, our friendly guides will show you how to operate the ATVs. If you’re still unsure after the demo, we might suggest an alternative activity or have you ride as a passenger with someone else. We want everyone to have a fantastic time!
PAYMENT, DEPOSITS, AND GRATUITIES (TIPS)
Before we start the adventure, we ask for a $500 security deposit per vehicle. The cardholder is responsible for any damages, even if someone else was driving. Our guides work hard to make your tour unforgettable, so while tips aren’t included in the tour price, they’re always appreciated! For groups of 6 or more, we include a 15% gratuity upfront.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ATV AND A UTV?
ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles) and UTVs (Utility Task Vehicles) are both popular for off-road adventures, but they have key differences.
- ATVs: You ride ON an ATV and control it with handlebars. These are typically single-rider vehicles, designed for more agile, individual riding experiences. Our guided ATV tours are perfect for those who prefer this type of adventure.
- UTVs: Also known as side-by-sides, RZRs, or Honda Talons, you ride IN a UTV and drive it with a steering wheel.
UTVs can accommodate multiple passengers, making them great for groups and families. They offer a more stable and comfortable ride, with seatbelts and a roll cage for added security.
CAN I RENT A UTV (SIDE-BY-SIDE) FROM ARIZONA ATV ADVENTURES?
Arizona ATV Adventures primarily offers guided ATV tours. However, for your convenience, we provide a pickup location for UTV (side-by-side) rentals through our sister brand, Sedona Off-Road Center. You can book various options, including a 2-hour rental of a 2-seater, perfect for hikers wanting to explore trails like Devil’s Bridge and Vultee Arch.
Additionally, we offer 4 or 8-hour rentals of a 4-seat Honda Talon, allowing you to visit sites like the Palatki and Honanki ruins, and the Birthing and Subway Caves. These rentals launch directly from our ATV Adventures office in Sedona. All contracts and rentals are handled by Sedona Off-Road Center.
Please note, we only offer this service in Sedona, not in Florence.
