This was an amazing...

This was an amazing day!!! We did the full day tour and Wyatt was amazing. He was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable!! I can’t thank him enough for giving us such an amazing experience. We thought we would run to Moab while in Colorado for work and so glad we did!

Absolutely great raft trip in every way…

Experienced and thoughtful guides really made this gorgeous raft trip special. We were driven to the launch site and our driver Warren and guide Michelle shared unique information about the area. This includes geography, hiking trail heads, Blue Heron nesting rookery grounds, scenic drives, so helpful. The group was offered the chose to go down the river on Ducky’s or in the raft. We were the only ones that chose the Ducky (a blow up tandem kayak). Michelle gave an informative safety talk which we appreciated. We are boaters our selves and while we are familiar with the Salish Sea in the Pacific NW waters, we are new to river rafting and it is different and important to know these safety items. Nate an other guide took the single Ducky and gave us great instructions before each rapid. (All around Class 1-2.5 ish). The first rapid , first waves was a little intimidating, but we did fine, followed instructions and had a great time. Nate was encouraging and bolstered our paddling with positive feedback. He was always aware of where we were so we felt, well cared for and safe. We did the full day trip, about 12 miles of paddling down river. We would definitely recommend this option if you want a little more adventure a little more splash. By the way we are 68 yrs old, so the Ducky’s are not only for the younger people. Michelle said we may see Blue Heron and it might be fun to count how many we saw, I took her up on the suggestion. My esta-count was 12 Blue heron, 2 Bald Eagles, one was in the nest, and 2 Osprey and we heard many other birds. So beautiful, the Colorado River in this area is surrounded by amazing red rock cliffs, every turn was a feast for the eyes!! Speaking of feasts, lunch was very nice with chips, pasta salad, chicken Caesar Salad wraps, veggies, and lots of snacks to take along. We highly recommend NavTech Expeditions.

Underwhelming. Expected faster water.

Underwhelming. Very calm waters. Staff were great. Our guide, Hope, and driver, Clint, did a great job. The tour itself was not very exciting. I dozed off a couple of times.

The tour guide Michelle...

The tour guide Michelle was very informative and loves her job. Check in was very easy and fast. Easy to locate. Due to low water level (mother nature) we didn’t get to experience higher level rapids, but is was still beautiful ride and fun swimming in the eddy’s.
