Itinerary
Pass by: White Rim Road 4WD Tour (4 hours)Make your own way to central Moab to meet your guide then hop into a comfortable 4WD vehicle for an exhilarating morning drive through the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park.
Pass by: Your guide expertly steers the 4WD over rugged terrain and hair-raising switchbacks to reach the White Rim Road, a 100-mile (160-km) loop located about 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Colorado and Green Rivers and 1,000 feet below the mesa. Travel a portion of the White Rim Road and take in stunning views of Fossil Point and the scenic landscape, then connect to the Shafer Trail, which runs from the Colorado River all the way to the top of the mesa. Stop along the route to see rock art made by ancient Pueblo civilizations thousands of years ago.
Pass by: Westwater Canyon is one of the best spots for experiencing white-water rapids near Moab.
Pass by: Fisher Towers White-Water Rafting (4 hours)After you refuel with a riverside buffet lunch, switch from 4WD to white-water rafts to experience the majestic Colorado River up close. Before hitting the water, review river safety guidelines and get outfitted with a lifejacket and other river gear. Then step into a raft with an experienced river guide who steers your raft downriver.
Enjoy the Rock Art Sites of Moab where travelers access to ancient drawings scattered along paths even a novice can navigate.
Pass by: Throughout your full-day tour, your guides share the human and natural history of Canyonlands National Park and the Colorado River corridor. After a fantastic day of off-roading and rafting, you are returned to Moab where your tour ends.

Traveler reviews
Mike was Great 👍
Mike was ultimately chill. I had a ton of questions and he was happy to answer them. I was unhappy to hear the Colorado river has no sharks, but Mike’s chillness made up for it. He really has given me motivation to do what you love, and love what you do. I would come back again. I hope you’re seeing this, Mike. My stokeage level is 30,000+ feet. Really good experience.
Best way to see Canyonlands with the best tour company
An excellent way to see Canyonlands- the morning tour took us through the back country, including a thrilling ride up Shaffer Canyon. Our guide, John, had so much experience & knowledge that he shared with us most enthusiastically- he really made the trip! The afternoon rafting trip was very beautiful & quite peaceful. Our guide, Eli, was an absolute delight! A very experienced river guide, full of local knowledge- scientific & cultural- & extremely willing to make sure his guests enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend Navtec & their special guides.
Nice but not what I thought it was going to be
This was a combination tour. The first part of the day was driving around in a 4x4 in Canyonlands. I’m not sure what I was expecting but this ride was really bumpy and there were some serious sections that were very high up on windy roads with no barriers. I wish I had known that before I signed up. Our driver was very good but overall I was a left a little disappointed by this - and somewhat freaked out! The second half of the day was rafting. Again I was left disappointed mainly because I was under the impression from the marketing of this that it was white water rafting. It was not. It was a float down the river. It was nice but again, not what I was expecting.
Perfect addition to any vacation for all ages!
Took the combo 4x4 trip to Canyonlands in the morning and the rafting adventure in the afternoon. This was a perfect opportunity to see the White Rim section of Canyonlands via the rough back roads we couldn’t drive through ourselves, and relax afterwards with a slow Colorado river raft tour ! Our guides were exceptional: knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and most of all, very safe-conscious. The views on both tours were incredible. Definitely recommend!!
