The original experience started with Designated Wakesports in 2004. Desi (owner/operator) had a passion for wakeboarding and boating here on beautiful Big Bear Lake. He wanted to provide an experience that gives guests the same thrill of boating in a high-performance tournament tow boat with one of our professional captains. He also wanted guests to be able to experience the lake at their leisure, so in 2009 Designated Wakesports started providing Sea-Doo rentals. We quickly became one of the top-rated Sea-Doo rental companies on the West Coast.
In 2014 Big Bear Off-Road Experience was established. Desi had a passion for off-roading on the world-famous local trails and wanted guests visiting Big Bear to have the opportunity to enjoy the same experiences. Desi started Big Bear Jeep Experience with a small fleet of jeeps in 2014. This experience is one of a kind, putting our guests in the driver seat of one of our customized jeeps while they follow our professional guides in a convoy of jeeps as the guide narrates the entire experience via 2-way radio. This unique driving experience quickly became the #1 rated off-road driving experience in the country. In 2020 BBORE partnered with BRP and added the UTV experience to the list of experiences provided.
Over the years, guests request a vehicle capable of taking them and their group into the backcountry, but they didn’t want to drive. Desi listened, and after a long year of custom fabrication, TourZilla was born. TourZilla is the biggest and baddest off-road safari vehicle ever created! TourZilla was designed and built to hold 11 passengers safely and bring them to the backcountry.
One of our TourZilla handlers (i.e. guides) will drive TourZilla and narrate the entire experience. All you and your group have to do is sit back and enjoy the thrill of a lifetime as TourZilla conquerors anything the trail has in store!

Kick back and relax at the 400-acre mountain campground retreat just 4 miles from Big Bear Lake. Encircled by thousands of acres of San Bernardino National Forest the oasis is a private ranch where rolling hills and stands of pine surround a meadow of roaming horses. Having campsites one to five acres in size and generously distanced from neighboring campers, Holcomb Valley Ranch is a campground like no other.
