San Diego Dune Tours, Ocotillo

About San Diego Dune Tours

San Diego Dune Tours operates ATV desert riding tours across 4,500 acres of sand dunes and surrounding terrain in Ocotillo. Visitors arrive for a safety briefing and gear fitting, then ride through sand washes, red clay mountains, black slate hills, and dry lake beds. The company offers guided tours ranging from mild to wild difficulty, with distances spanning 5 to 50 miles, plus an Extreme Day Tour covering over 100 miles. The Abandoned Train Tour, lasting 1 to 2 hours, takes riders up a mountain to see the Iron Cross landmark, an abandoned train, and the Sand Bar beneath an old desert bridge. The Painted Gorge Tour, a 3 to 4 hour family-friendly option, showcases colorful sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rock formations on the eastern Coyote Mountains, where oranges, reds, purples, and mauves create natural patterns. Tours accommodate groups from one to seventy people of all experience levels. The company also provides ATV vehicles for filming and photography purposes.
