Arizona Outdoor Fun is an outdoor adventure operator based in New River, Arizona, offering guided off-road tours, vehicle rentals, and firearms experiences. The company runs a range of ATV and UTV activities including guided tours like the Ancient Ruins UTV Tour — a three-hour ride through the Bradshaw Mountains that crosses the Agua Fria River and visits Hohokam ruins.
Guided ATV programs include the Centipede tour and the Sidewinder training course, with a Sidewinder Centipede Combo that pairs hands-on instruction with an extended scenic tour. Unguided UTV and ATV rentals come with a safety briefing and access to beginner and advanced trails, including the challenging Centipede Trail.
Arizona Outdoor Fun also offers supervised firearms experiences on-site. Shooting packages include the .50 Cal Experience featuring a Barrett .50 BMG and Desert Eagle, the Black Ops Package with AR-15 and HK SP5 (available for ages 7 and up), Modern Warfare and SMG experiences that list firearms such as AR-15, AK-47, FN PS90, and HK SP5, and the Urban Assault Package including Glock 17 and Saiga 12. Some shooting programs are conducted with oversight from an NRA Certified Range Safety Officer.
Activities focus on safety, guided instruction, and access to varied Sonoran Desert terrain north of Phoenix. Reservations are required for guided tours and many firearm packages, and group and private options are available to accommodate different skill levels and interests. Staff members provide hands-on briefings, local route knowledge, equipment maintenance, and flexible scheduling to tailor each outing to guest experience levels and safety.
