Moab Combo: Colorado River Rafting and Canyonlands 4X4 Tour

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.

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.

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!!

Absolutely do not miss this opportunity to visit Moab and Canyonlands with these fantastic tour guides. Chance was awesome. Excellent in all areas. Very informative. We will go back. Thank you

This full day adventure was spectacular. Charlotte and Clint were outstanding guides. Both knowledgeable and entertaining. The 4x4 experience is a unique and enjoyable way to visit areas of (and near) the park that would be inaccessible otherwise. And the rafting on the Colorado is such a unique experience with a different perspective. Charlotte taught us new words and Clint share bad guide jokes - both enjoyable! We will definitely use Navtec on our next visit!

This experience has been a highlight of our trip. The 4x4 excursion with John as our guide was amazing. He is a fabulous storyteller with so much knowledge about Moab and Canyonland. He was also able to help us understand the geology of the area. We followed that with a river float guided by Michele. She was another passionate guide whose love of this area was palpable. This company is rooted in the history of Moab and an excellent choice. My only complaint was that we thought we were rafting given the description of the outing when in fact we were rowed down the river. If you have ever rafted before this is not the excursion for you.

Morning session with John in Canyonland was great. John is very knowledgeable in the geology of the area, was very informative, had great stories, and took us to some amazing sites. Afternoon on the Colorado River was enjoyable with some great vistas. Annie rowed us down the river for 7 miles (ugh), did a good job “reading the river” and navigated some mild rapids very well. She was very pleasant and informative. Had a couple of complaints however. I was expecting, but did not get, an email or text ahead of the trip providing some details on how to dress, what to bring, do we get wet on the river, etc. I had to call Navtec the day before our trip for that info. For example, I didn’t know we’d have opportunities to jump in the water and might have worn a bathing suit and water shoes for that. Lastly, my wife and I were a little irritated that the mini-bus returning us to Navtec after the river trip drove right by their building where our car was parked (where they could have dropped us off) but instead wasted a half hour of our time dropping off a family at a hotel and then returning to their building. We were of course pretty tired after a long day and anxious to return to our rental. Overall though, an enjoyable experience.

Our Canyonlands tour was one of the best parts of our trip. As a family with a 6-year-old, we were thrilled with how fun, safe, and well-organized the entire day was. We started with a guided 4x4 tour through incredible desert landscapes. The terrain was rugged with steep drop-offs and narrow trails, so having an experienced driver and proper vehicle made us feel completely safe. The views were stunning, and our guide kept the whole family engaged with fun facts and stories. In the afternoon, we rafted 12 miles down the Colorado River through the beautiful Fisher Towers area. The Class II and III rapids were perfect ... exciting but safe for kids. Our child had an amazing time splashing through the waves and enjoying the calm stretches. This tour gave us the perfect mix of adventure and family fun. We made memories that will stay with us forever and would absolutely recommend it to any family visiting the area.

Our experience was amazing. The views during the Canyonlands tour were breathtaking, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Matt. His knowledge of the history of the area and his efforts to ensure we had an unforgettable experience were beyond our expectations. And his Cowboy poetry was a definite plus. If we ever come back to Moab, we will definitely ask for Matt. Our river guide Michelle pulled her heart out rowing against the wind, and still managed to point out all of the interesting areas along the river. She busted her tail, making sure we had a great time, and we did!! I would definitely recommend NavTec, Matt, and Michelle to anyone traveling to Moab with a desire for a genuine nature experience.

The experience with Matt Urry was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and kind. He went above and beyond as a guide! Would highly recommend the trip through the canyon with him! Trevor-our rafting guide was incredible! He was funny, so sweet, and made us all feel safe. I would highly recommend touring the Colorado River with him and Navtek! Great job!
