🗣️ Why Choose the Big Red Buggy Tour?

Most tours offer 30 or 60 minutes of driving in a flat, fenced-in area. Our 2-Hour Big Red Adventure is a true expedition. We take you into the “Open Desert,” meaning you actually travel across the landscape to specific landmarks like Pink Rock and the Snake Trail. It is the perfect choice for thrill-seekers and photographers who want a rugged, authentic, and unscripted desert experience.
