We had a great time on our 4x4 trip into the Needles district of Canyonlands National park. We had a great guide and driver in Matt who knew a great deal about the area. The hike to Chester park during the middle of the trip was fantastic,=. I would highly recommend this trip. I may do it again in the future with other family members.

We so enjoyed our time on the tour . We would highly recommend this adventure. From the 4x4 drive through the park to an enjoyable hike it did not disappoint. Then our guide followed up our hike with a delicious healthy lunch for all of us . This was a fun learning experience with breath taking views.

What a great day with our guide Charlotte. She took us into the Needles District in a 4x4 Landcruiser. She was very skilled and safe, taking us out to the backcountry through Elephant Hill Trail. She was very knowledgeable about all aspects and questions about Canyonlands and other things and Moab. There was another couple with us so pretty much a private tour

What an awesome tour! Our guide, Charlotte, was fantastic. We've done many jeep tours over the years and many locations --- we like to see things and go into areas you can't access by your personal vehicle and that we might not see otherwise. This was, by far, the best jeep tour we've been on. Charlotte has tons of experience and her love of the area really shines through when she's telling about the geography and history of the area. The "road" we traveled on was way more than just a rough jeep road! Charlotte's navigation and driving of the tour was impressive. We had a great lunch, wonderful hike on the Joint Trail up to Chesler part area. Fantastic views --- just incredible. I am not a super avid hiker and Charlotte was really patient and gave me some great tips about how to navigate the slick rocks and climbing. Highly recommend this tour; worth every penny!

NAVTEC tours TURNS IT UP TO 11....in the spirit of THIS IS SPINAL TAP Sooooooooooooooo WOW!!!! It was awesome! When in Moab, you must go here; you must use NAVTEC; and you must ask for Charlotte!!!!! the off roading was beyond belief. The Land Cruiser traversed terrain I hadn't experienced since Afghanistan. Charlotte was a perfect guide, giving us great info about the places, the history, and her perspective of the place. The lunch she fixed was perfect. There is no other way to do this fantastic place.

If you knew all the details about this adventure into The Needles, within Canyonlands, you might make the mistake of not participating. That would be a BIG mistake. We had the times of our lives, one we'll never forget and forever be unable to clearly articulate. Our guide, Charlotte, was exceedingly competent, knowledgeable, and funny. Do not miss this opportunity to see a part of this National Park that few get to and to fully understand the meaning of gnarly.

Great trip! Keep in mind it is a true off road experience which is exactly what we wanted. We had been over Elephant Hill 30 years ago and my husband really wanted to go again but this time with someone else behind the wheel. Such beautiful country and beautiful views. Lunch was yummy! Plenty of water refills and snacks available. Our guide, Matt (forgot his last name - sorry Matt) was fantastic!
