Drew was fantastic and so helpful! The Jeep couldn’t have been nicer. It handled like a charm and Drew did so much to make sure I knew where I was headed. He also was so friendly with my daughter and did a great job engaging her in conversation. Cannot say enough good stuff about this outfit. It’s expensive but I promise it’s worth it and have already shared this review with another buddy that frequents CO from TX.

Rented a Polaris General 4 seater for 4 hours at Westcreek. Staff was over the top friendly, machines were top notch, and trails are mapped out perfectly. Jason was super helpful and full of knowledge. Would highly recommend.

I wasn't sure what to expect but we had the best experience! I would highly recommend the 4 hour UTV rental. The GPS route was easy to follow. The views were amazing and we practically had the trails to ourselves. We packed lunch and stopped for a picnic and still made it back in time. Jim met us at the trailhead to go over the machine and procedures. He was super friendly and knowledgeable (and handsome!). He even helped us pick a better GPS route home when we returned the UTV - the Google maps recommendation was treacherous. :) Go do this! You won't be disappointed.

We booked a 4 hour ride to celebrate our anniversary. From the minute we got there, till we left it was perfect. Jason had our side by side decorated for Halloween and was so friendly and informative. We had the best day doing this ride! It ended up snowing most of our ride and being about 20° outside, however we were both comfortably warm, Jason even gave us a blanket.The views were incredible and we would definitely do this again!

AMAZING experience. We had so much fun cruising the trails. Glad we did 4 hours. Any less would’ve felt like not enough. Shoutout to Jim for making the process super easy!

My wife and I are visiting Colorado Springs and basically unwinding and having a great time!We rented a UTV from Great Outdoor Adventures and had an absolute blast! The staff, especially Jim and Gideon were fabulous! Very professional and went out of their way to make sure our trip was top-notch! The scenery, wildlife and overall outdoor experience was priceless. The vehicle we rented was a “General” and was brand new and awesome. Very impressed with this company and will definitely book again with them and recommend them to others!Mark Herrmann

Hunter and Jonny were great, since the second we approached to start our tour until the end. They explained everything, and it was very easy to go on this adventure. But, do not get the rental too dirty, or they will charge you $50. There are portable bathrooms to use. And if you return on time you will get a surprise! I will definitely come back and also refer people here.

We rented a 6 seater Ranger with heat, for 4 hours, it was perfect for our family of 4 plus our golden doodle. Jim was awesome to work with at pickup and drop off. The GPS map was so easy to use. The views were amazing!We had a blast. Thank you Jim and GO ADVENTURES!!

We had an amazing time! The rides were awesome, the views were outstanding and the experience was one I won’t forget! The staff member that helped was, Jason, was so informative and genuinely wanted to make sure our experience was great. If you’re looking for something to do, I totally recommend. It is a little out of the way but it is worth it! Was visiting Colorado for a week and I’m so glad we go to do this!

We enjoyed two amazing experiences with Great Outdoors Adventures during the last week of August 2022. First we rented a Polaris UTV for a two hour ride near Sedalia. The employees were friendly professional & helpful. The equipment was clean & safe, the trails were wonderful with beautiful views.Secondly we rented a Jeep in Woodland Park, taking a four hour self guided tour around the base of Pike's Peak. Once again we were treated with professionalism, courtesy by GOA folks. Andy & Angelica were helpful & friendly. Our Jeep was immaculate comfortable and safe. At the end of the day we were greeted and thanked by the owner, Drew.Highly recommend GOA for couples, families, etc. Enjoyable beautiful safe way to experience the mountains at an affordable and reasonable price. We will return!

We loved this tour! We chose the self-guided 2 hour tour for the two of us celebrating our 1st Wedding Anniversary and it was the perfect amount of time. Jim explained everything very thoroughly and got us out to the trailhead quickly! Couldn’t recommend enough. Thanks for making it a great experience, Jim!

You must do this! Had a snow storm night before and everyone that day cancelled except for my son and I. So we were the only ones out on the trails. An experience we won’t soon forget. Jason was a pleasure to work with and sure glad he showed us where the wench was on the Polaris. 😉

We had tons of fun taking our rented Polaris out on the trails for 4 hours. Beautiful scenery, wildlife up close and personal, and lots of opportunities for breathtaking pictures. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, even giving us lunch/dinner recommendations after we returned the vehicle. I personally would recommend this service and adventure to friends and would do it again if I had the chance.

We had a great experience on our ATV adventure with Great Outdoors Adventures! We rented a 4-seater Polaris General for 4 hours. The equipment and GPS ran flawlessly and was in great condition. We stay in Manitou frequently and wanted to do something a little different on this trip. So glad we did! The scenery was beautiful and the trails were so much fun. We booked last minute and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good time!

Off-roading in the Colorado Rocky Mountains was on our bucket list for our recent trip to Colorado Springs. The staff members were friendly from booking to preparing us for the ride. We booked a four hour trip in the four seat Polaris General. I was so glad we booked four hours rather than two because we had so much fun and loved every minute! The views are AMAZING and you really get to experience the scenery in a fun, relaxing way. Hands down, this is a MUST DO if you are in the area. Thank you Great Outdoors Adventures for helping us create lasting memories experiencing the beauty of the Colorado Rockies.

We had always wanted to, but never tried a Slingshot before. Four hours later now I want to make a really bad financial decision! :).Drew was a fantastic instructor and helpful in every way. The equipment provided was in great shape: no dirty visors on helmets and the vehicle was in top shape!I can't think of a better way to see the mountains than in a Polaris Slingshot, and renting one is by far more efficient than owning one! We will likely return and try one of the 4x4s for their offroad experience; looking forward to that! We will definitely try this again! Would recommend for sure!

Simply an amazing experience!!! We took out two of the Polaris Slingshots for a 4 hr tour- i will never see the mountains the same again!!! The open air- the smell of cedar- looking straight up the mountain side--- and on and on!! UNBELIEVABLE GOOD TIME!!! It was a great day, and such an enjoyable excursion. Staff was great also- made it so easy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!Dave S. ---

Had a great time! Highly recommend this company compared to others. They put safety first, cover everything you need to know before hitting the trails and made us very comfortable to have a great time. Even allowed us to bring our 75lb labradoodle to sit in the extra seat of our 4seater General Polaris.

We were hoping for a pleasant trip and, while we knew there’s always a risk involved in riding an ATV, we were not briefed on the poor road conditions that our four hour trail had in store for us.Turns out, between trees fallen on the path we had to clear ourselves, crumbling high cliff roads, and the attitude that we were on our own if there is an emergency, I strongly recommend against considering this business unless you are an expert or professional, as anything short of that is a reckless and dangerous endeavor.We were concerned on our first lap when we saw evidence of weeks, if not months, of erosion on the trail, including some sections that created slipping hazards on 50+ft drops (some reaching 100, even.) There was a felled tree that took us quite a bit of time to move, but this is rather normal for a low supervision trail.We actually had an emergency during our second lap. The poorly maintained straightway just out the gate gave out and one of our vehicles flipped over, putting the vehicle in a difficult spot and trapping one of our riders inside. When we called into the company asking for assistance in righting the vehicle and getting our passenger out, we were told to do it ourselves, with the underlying expectation that they could charge us extra if we were late getting back. They do not station anyone to handle emergencies and expect first responders to be the first line of defense, even though we were briefed to give them a call if we needed assistance. We were lied to. Fortunately, our lead driver is very experienced and we managed to avoid tying up emergency responders while getting our passenger to safety while we checked for injuries (fortunately, they only had scrapes and bruises.)The damage to the vehicle was minor. One tail light received a bit of damage and there were light scratches on the vehicle. Still, we were charged the maximum for the deductible and it was treated as though it were totaled.When we brought up where it happened, our host quickly recognized it as one of their “hot spots.” It implies that this is an ongoing issue and they are too complacent (or perhaps complicit, even) to take care of this.Please don’t let your emergencies be their profit. Take your business to someone who cares about your safety - unless you enjoy putting your life on the line for a shot of adrenaline, that is, because if something happens, no one is coming to help you unless you call 911 (good luck with reception, even their radios are subpar) and instead will hide behind their waivers hoping they won’t be called out for it.

Great wildlife tour with Jason! We saw deer, elk and an owl along a beautiful sunset tour. We rent atvs in a lot of places and the combination of beautiful scenery, quality machines, a great team and the best trail ground quality (hero sand!) at GOA is unmatched. We'll be back!

Was planning a trip to Colorado to visit my daughter during Thanksgiving and thought it would be fun to rent an ATV. Searched the internet a stumbled across Great Outdoors Adventures. So glad I did. We booked a 2-hour self-guided tour and the experience with the company and Dusty was fantastic. Can't wait to take a longer trip next summer.

AWESOME EXPERIENCE! The off-road tour was super fun and had amazing mountain views! Staff is super friendly and helpful, honestly awesome service. Super safe as well, they provide helmets and GPS!There are a lot of different trails you can try out and you can have a picnic/snack during the tour with an amazing scenery. Guided tours, self-guided tours or group tours, whatever you feel comfortable with they offer. Overall, excellent service! Definitely recommend!

Came across this place when looking for dog friendly things to do in the area as we are vacationing with our pup. I love that they allow dogs on their rentals! We had a great time exploring Pike National Forest, the use of the tablet maps was awesome and the briefing before we left was great. We really are glad we added this to our trip and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Great Outdoors Adventure is a must do! My family and I discovered this 4 Wheel adventure visiting my son and his family while in Colorado Springs. We rented the Polaris General which was a terrific machine. The ride was comfortable and the trails easy to follow. We did the 2 hour trip which was about right for our first adventure. The scenery was dry beautiful and you could see the natural recovery ongoing from the wildfires in the past. The staff was super friendly and they worked hard to ensure our safety and understanding of the whole experience. Overall this was a fantastic time for my family, everyone enjoyed it! I will definitely do this again in the future!

We used GOA on our Colorado trip and we were SO Happy that we did. We had an amazing time. The staff member who checked us in, gave us detailed instruction on what to see and how to use the GPS map. The ATV was new and clean. the views were AMAZING!! I highly recommend you give this a try on your trip to the Rockies!

We had a fabulous trip off roading in a national forest. I’d never driven a Polaris General and was a bit anxious. Dry, our tour guide, taught me how to drive the vehicle and explained where we were going and what the road conditions were. He asked us what our goals for the trip were and tried to make them happen. We came across a small herd of elk and got some great photos. It was a beautiful evening and we had a lot of fun. I would recommend this outfit to anyone of any age or capability. Safety was key and I felt comfortable driving in a very short time.

It was great! We drove by and decided to stop and see if there was any availability before the storm came through. Drew was like yeah let's go! We have never been to Colorado and have never been out on trails so this was a great first experience! And thier dog fisher was very friendly and cute! Definitely recommend this place if you're in woodland Park, CO!

We had a great experience with Great Outdoors Adventures! We rented a 4 seat Polaris General for a two hour ride. They give you a tablet with the map of the trails and it is very easy to navigate. Would definitely come back for another ride through the mountains.
