About this experience

WE GUIDE, YOU DRIVE!

We have three different trail options, ranging from beginner, intermediate to advanced, which are sure to give you the best outdoor experience while visiting San Diego.

We offer a four-wheeling experience like no other in San Diego. We are popular with experienced off-roaders and first-timers alike! Bring your rookie husbands, nervous wives, grandpas and girlfriends on a high-adventure, safe ride in a private vehicle with just your party.

While under the instruction of our experienced guides, you will join us on some of the best trails in San Diego and beyond. We will navigate high, steep climbs and heart-pounding descents, while taking in some of the most beautiful country around, all with the feeling of confidence and safety.
