About
Hop aboard two-seater All-Terrain Vehicles or four passenger Polaris side-by-side as we explore the rugged Chihuahuan Desert on private land, neighboring Big Bend National Park.

This is a scenic, single file guided tour that follows the same route as our 360 Jeep Tour.
*Every trip we do is guided. You cannot rent the equipment to take by yourself.

Difficulty
This tour is a beginner to slightly intermediate ride; all guests will be required to participate in a pre-trip safety briefing. Folks, this is a guided tour with the objective of showing you the Big Bend in different way. It is not a high speed, slide around the curves, cut across the desert type of experience. If you are looking to test the limits of an ATV, you will be sorely disappointed in this tour. This tour travels on private land and does not enter the national park.
About the vehicle
Choose a 4-seat Polaris side-by-side or a Polaris Sportsman 570 ATV that comfortably seats two guests. Boy, are these babies fun to drive! But take your choice – ride with a friend or try one for yourself. Either way, you’ll experience the desert in a very unique way!
