  • All supercar canyon tours are priced “per seat” and based on double occupancy. The majority of our guests purchase two seats to ensure they have the entire car to themselves.

    All participants have the opportunity to drive. If you purchase two seats and the passenger does not want to drive, the benefit is that you will then receive double the driving time!

    If you purchase for one seat you will be paired up with another paying guest and rotating at checkpoints with equal drive time.

  • For all 30-Minute Supercar Test Drives you can pick your favorite supercar to drive.

    If you are doing a Supercar Canyon Tour you may indicate your preferred vehicle. However, due to our regular maintenance schedules, if your desired car is not available then NVS reserves the right to substitute a replacement at their own discretion.

    During the 3.5 Hour Canyon Tour you will experience up to THREE different supercars!

  • As soon as possible! We operate seven days a week so there are generally options available.
