I hadn’t been out in the desert for a while and decided to head out last week. A friend told me about Academy Rentals and Tours, so I gave them a call. I mentioned to the owner I never been in a dune buggy out in the desert. I purchased a two-hour dune buggy tour out to Superstition mountains. Boy! Did I have a kickass dune buggy experience!
The owner drove and I sat in the passenger seat. He took his time, didn’t drive insane and did some awesome maneuvers over dirt hills. On the way to Superstition, we passed empty bombshells that exploded and left…in the desert! I thought that was awesome. The Ocotillo cactus was starting to bloom and the scenery is incredible. Once on the sand dunes, the dune buggy ride got better. The owner stopped to let out some air in the tires and the dune buggy ride up and down the dunes was amazing! Going across the razorbacks was phenomenal!
I give the owner huge big ups for taking into consideration I’m a female and didn’t try to hot dog it while driving the dune buggy. I’d highly recommend taking a tour with Academy Rentals and Tours on a weekday when hardly anyone is out riding their dirt and/or sand dune vehicles.
