Colorado River tour

Highly enjoyed our 2 hour guided tour down the Colorado river with our guide Eli. He was very informative and kept the conversations going. His energy was contagious and welcomed!

Cataract 4 day

Took a 10 y.o. grandson and this was a great 4-day camping, hiking, whitewater adventure. Our guides were Mike, Joe, & Carter and they had great pre-planning that allowed the right level of relax and adventure

Terrific Cataract canyon river and rapid trip and flight back in only one day!

This is the second time I have done this. I recommend it highly. Our boat captain was Brian Martinez. He was terrific! He guided the motorized boat skillfully to be safe, yet maximize the experience of big rapids. You will get very wet! The wet suits and parkas were most welcome. Years ago we only wore panchos and the water is cold. After cataract we flew back to Moab over the river. Just amazing country. For a one-day trip this cannot be topped.

So much fun!

Wow! This was a beautiful trip and our guide was amazing! We are seniors and the Navtec team made sure this trip was appropriate for us. Great team in the office and on the tours, we did an all day with them as well.

Cataract canyon adventures

This is an amazing tour. You will learn a ton of history while seeing Canyonlands from a different view point. Our tour guide Josh did an incredible job navigating the river. The 14 miles of 30 rapids you encounter will be the bestnyou have EVER rafted in your life. Class II,IV, and V.
