Traveler reviews
Navtech full day West Canyon White Water Rafting
Our full-day West Canyon white water rafting tour with Navtech Adventures was not disappointing. Water levels were unusually low this year, but we still experienced plenty of exciting Class III and IV rapids — and even the smaller rapids were a lot of fun. Our guide, Michael, was extremely knowledgeable about the geography and local history of the areas we covered, both on the river and during the drive. In addition, Michael had a great sense of humor and more importantly, he had amazing rafting skills that kept us safe while still allowing us to enjoy a fun and exciting experience. Safety was always emphasized throughout the trip. The other guides who contributed to the experience, Addy and Will, were also fun and knowledgeable. There was clearly a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among all the guides, and they all had a great sense of humor while consistently reinforcing safety throughout the day.
Lots of drive time
The whitewater part is maybe only 40 min but the drive there and back is about 3 hours total. There is plenty of other time on fairly flat river but the views and eagles and heron was great. Will was a great guide and did all the rowing / steering so if you want to paddle be sure to ask about it. Lunch was awesome!
Enjoyable adrenaline fun
Amazing rafting trip down the Colorado river in Westerwater, an area of the river near the Colorado/Utah border. It involves a few hours drive to the start, mostly through gorgeous area alongside the river, but the white water and wildlife make it worth the effort. Friendly and informative guides. Thanks for the trip!
Do not miss in Moab
Class 3/4 rapids. Will and Nick were amazing guides!!! We felt very safe on the trip with them. Went thru many rapids and they were thrilling.
Fun rafting trip!
We had a perfect day rafting Westwater Canyon. Bridger was our guide and he did an awesome job navigating the rapids and making the trip a blast. There were 2 rafts on our trip - one where the participants helped paddle, and a second where the guide did all the work and we got to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Great day, highly recommend.
