Sun Buggy Fun Rentals is a one-stop, turn-key adventure firm that truly offers something for all ages. Whether you are a photo buff or adrenaline junkie, whether you want to ride through the desert on a 400 cc ATV, drive your own buggy, or ride with a guide, we have you covered. Some of our most popular adventures are just 18 miles from the Las Vegas Strip where you can go on the Mini Baja or the Nellis Mini Dune Adventure.
The Mini-Dakar starts at the world-famous Valley of Fire, aptly named because of the red rock formations and sand cliffs. You will spend approximately 2 hours on a rugged Suzuki Eiger 4x4 ATV, taking in what is quite possibly the most pristine, beautiful, landscape available to off road motorized traffic in the USA. The terrain is so alien that numerous production companies have filmed segments without having to perform modifications to the terrain. Star Trek was originally filmed here.
After lunch, you'll arrive at the Nellis Dunes for the second leg of your adventure. This course you will be traveling on was recently featured in the Rolling Stone Magazine and referred to as "Las Vegas' best near death experience." You will go on a full 2 hour run. You will be operating a state-of-the-art vehicle which is a cross between a Desert racer and a Dune buggy on a 35 mile course that will subject you to dried out river beds, sheer cliffs, a place called rattle snake rocks (guess why), and look out dune, a vantage point where you take a brief break and can see Lake Mead and the Las Vegas strip on the horizon.
