We had a great time on this tour. They sent the waiver documents with time to sign online, so the check in process was quick and easy. You can either meet at their location, where you can get some merch, sunscreen, use the facilities and ask any questions you have, or you can pay a small fee to get picked up from your location. From their place to the river, we did one of their raft tours, with 2 other couples we met there, and Josh, our guide. From beginning to end, Josh had a lot of information and history to share with us, and he made everything interesting and fun. He enjoyed answering questions, sharing his knowledge with us, and taking all the pictures we wanted. We even stopped for a quick hike on our tour (and those that didn't want to join were welcomed to stay on the raft). This was an amazing way to see a lot in a "short time" and learn. read more

We were in town and had a plan for a hike and expedition of Arches National Park. But the other national park, Canyonlands, we didn't have a plan yet. I was searching on line and found Navtec. The river ride on the Colorado sounded like a great way to see the park. And it sure was, we nailed it. We arrived at their location downtown Moab a little while after checking into a hotel downtown. They offered to pick us up but it was a nice 10 minute walk to get to their office. It's a nice spot with plenty of last minute necessary's like sunscreen. Within minutes of rallying our group of 6 we were off to the launch point for the tour with our motorized blowup boat. We had a stop along the way at the great wall to see hieroglyphics. The boat ride was great, with information on spots and stories as well. Our guide Josh was excellent. Happy to say we had a great time. read more

Mike, Adey and Will were amazing! So were the drivers Very knowledgeable and fun! Great day.

Eli was a phenomenal river guide. He connected with each of us individually, and created a team vibe so that we all felt Ike we knew each other-which we did by the end of the 5 hours we were together. Eli is extremely knowledgeable, quick, clever and funny. I only had one other experience on a river rafting trip and it wasn't positive because unlike Eli, the guide didn't make me feel safe. With Eli I felt safe and had an exhilarating experience. So did my husband who is pictured here with Eli. read more

There aren't enough positive words to say about our expedition through arches national Park and Canyon lands national Park. Our tour guide, Marcia, was beyond knowledgeable about the area and provided some really awesome detail on basically everything from the soil to the rocks too how things are formed and why, and the dinosaur tracks and much much more. My family enjoyed this expedition and our guide was so kind; we really enjoyed her company! This expedition exceeded any expectations we could have formed beforehand. We were simply blown away at the beauty of Moab! Definitely recommend. read more

My family and I experienced a great adventure with Levi from Navtec. He has a great wealth of knowledge that he shared with us about Arches National Park. He told us about the creation of the rock formations and the history from dinosaurs to modern era animals and plants. He drove us close to Tower Arch. Then we hiked 15 minutes. It's a beautiful arch that 99% of the park visitors will never see because you must have a very durable off-rode vehicle and an experienced driver to safely get to it. Levi showed us numerous arches, windows, and other rock formations. He explained their various names. Overall it was an experience of a life time. read more

Ben was our guide and driver. He gave us one hell of a tour! He provided us more information than we could ever remember about Canyonlands and the surrounding areas. He drove carefully up the precarious roads. It seemed sometimes we were hanging over the edge. It was truly thrilling. Ben stopped several time for short walks, photo ops and snack/water breaks. Cold water and a very decent variety of snacks were supplied. We had an absolutely fantastic day with Ben! read more

We had a truly wonderful adventure today. There were 3 couples so we had 2 jeeps and 2 guides (Cody and Parker). They were very informative and we shared many laughs too. Definitely a lifetime memory. Highly recommend this adventure. read more

We had a morning (8-12) tour of the Canyonlands - Hayden was our tour guide and he was great. Knowledgeable, helpful, funny - we loved the petroglyphs, the hoo-doos, the arches, the desert varnish, and all of the different layers in the rocks. We've ridden ATVs in Moab for 3 years on multiple trails and not seen this stunning scenery. Well done Hayden read more

Our guide Ben was great, very knowledgeable and could easily relate his understanding of the complex geology and key features of Arches NP to a mixed group in our tour. He fielded many questions not only about the NP we were visiting but had recommendations for the rest of the our vacation in southern Utah. Well w read more

I had a rafting trip with Michael down the Colorado River on our family trip to Moab! It was awesome. He was super knowledgeable about the area and had plenty of Dad jokes. He was careful on the rapids as one of our group members has a has had a few back problems, which we appreciated. You can tell he is an experienced guide. The view is beautiful and a trip to Moab isn't complete without going down the river. Navtec also offers trips in the back part of Arches (permit, 4x4 access only), and it was amazing. I make an annual trip to Moab and it is the first time I have seen it this way. There were even some dinosaur prints we were able to see. read more

John took us on a 4x4 tour yesterday and it had the most amazing views you could see in Moab. John is a wealth of information and made the trip more enjoyable. If there is anything you want to know about Moab. He knows all the history. I highly recommend the tour. read more

We booked this adventure on the recommendation of a friend of a friend. At first I was a bit hesitant, because I didn't know this person from Adam, so I was uncertain that their interests might not be mine. Well let me tell you...they were spot on, and luckily when we met Adam (our tour guide and new bff) we knew we were in for quite an escapade! As soon as we found out he was from Jersey (2 of us were from there) we knew it was going to be a Day. To make a long story short, we not only were driven over crazy trails, but Adam's knowledge and ability to entertain while educating kept us interested and learning oh so much. The last thing I will say, is the 4 of us have known each other for 35 plus years and sometimes we are not politically correct. Adam never missed a beat and laughed along with us Thank you, Adam, for providing us with a memorable and exciting day. Oh, a special shout out to a delicious lunch, and Josh, we met along the way. Book this tour! Trust me read more

Reviewed today via mobile We had a wonderful tour with Keith as our river guide and Hyram as our driver. Both were all smiles the entire trip- down to Earth guys who are lots of fun to be around. The river was a little low and slow so the ride was mostly leisurely but Keith found ways to make it really exciting by "surfing" our raft. We were able to dip into the water several times and it felt wonderful against the scorching Moab heat. --- Exploring Arches via 4x4 is a MUST. If you don't feel comfortable handling technical terrain in a very expensive rental Jeep, you should really consider this tour with NavTech. They are one of the oldest tour companies in Moab with deep roots and knowledgeable guides. I recommend riding on the right hand side of the vehicle for the best views. Our guide John was very friendly and professional. He was a skilled driver who led us to the most desirable views of all of the park. --- Complimentary pick up from hotel, water, and tasty lemon electrolyte additive. read more

Went on an all day rafting trip with Will. Had a great time! Will was very knowledgeable about the river and made the trip fun. Had gone rafting on the Hudson but the Colorado is so different!! It was a unique way of sight seeing. read more

This is the 2nd year in a row we've done the 1/2 day rafting tour. We do it with the kids, So we don't expect super exciting. Last year the guide had some personality and there were some parts of the river with small rapids and soaking water and the boat rocked. This year the girl could barely paddle the boat. My son got out and swam faster than she paddled. She avoided any type of rapids. She did not speak. My sons were bored, and we've done this year after year and they've never complained before. We will try a new company next season. read more

What a great pleasure it was for me and my two twenty-year-olds to spend a recent full day touring and hiking Arches with Adam from Navtec. He was awesome. The tour was so memorable, and Adam was such a delight to be with and most informative - I can't recommend it enough. We saw a couple of arches (gotta go to Delicate) on the regular path - but a great beaten path - and then, after a lunch prepared by Navtec, we went back country with Adam all afternoon to see several glorious arches and scenery with nobody else around. He couldn't have been a better engaging host, insightful guide, and helpful support throughout the day. A total pleasure and a day filled with wonderful memories. He/Navtec helped us appreciate and love the park in so many ways - and wanting to come back for more. I'm 77 and a step counter. 24,000+ steps that day - by far the most I've done since I've been counting over the past year. And it was Adam/Navtec who made it possible for me to do that and still feel energized at the end of the day! read more

This tour exceeded expectations. The landscape alone was enough to floor me but Blaine was INCREDIBLE. He's the local bearded historian. He was so knowledgeable about so much about this area including geological history and Native American history. He rocks rocks and that's not a typo. This tour is not an official "national park" tour. It's a backroads tour of canyonlands. Your aren't going to see touristy stuff. - You can go to the park on your own for that! Buckle up and get ready for a bumpy ride. Ask for some Yee-haw moments. You won't be disappointed! read more

Enjoyed a half day rafting trip down the Colorado River. The entire experience was exceptional. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The bus driver was great. Very informative. I feel bad I forgot her name. Our tour guide Layton was phenomenal! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. He had lots of info and even provided water guns for the kids to battle other tours. We had such an amazing day! I'd highly recommend this trip and am looking forward to doing a full day in the future! read more

Urry led an astonishing 4x4 expedition into corners of Canyonlands that few visitors see, and which would certainly be out of reach for most private vehicles. Starting with a reading of ancient petroglyphs and proceeding through rock-strewn canyons and old sheep trails, his interpretation fascinated the children and adults in our group and made for a unique encounter with a raw and unforgiving land. read more

My husband and I cannot express how much we enjoyed our tour. our guide Abbie was courteous, helpful and made it interesting with all her knowledge about the park. Our time in Arches could not have been complete and enjoyable without this experience. Thank you Abbie, you are terrific! John and Mary Ann read more

We did a four hour sunset adventure trip(8/21) with Chris exploring Arches national Park. Chris was an awesome guide and took us into some hard to reach areas with his 4 x 4- which was half the fun. He also took us to see some great Arches as we wanted to do a lot of hiking as well. Chris asked us what we were interested in doing and provided us exactly as we requested . He pointed out things that we would never have noticed and taught us a little bit about botany, geography, geology, paleontology among other topics. Chris gets a huge thumbs up!! We would definitely do the trip again and will now include NavTech as an adventure tour group that we will consider on our next trip. read more

An absolute wonderful time, the best tour I've been on so far. Tour guide Josh was the best, very informative, friendly, told jokes, absolutely great at his job. And a big thank you to Josh also for the sunset tip, what a great experience! I took the full day Canyonlands tour, such Majestic views, everywhere you looked was a post card view. So many photo ops, great memories I'll never forget. A great lunch at a great spot at an overlook. Worth every penny, I 100% recommend this tour and Navtec!! read more

Booked a trip 6 weeks in advance. NavTec cancelled 5 days beforehand citing the kids didn't weigh enough. Website does not state a minimum weight or age. Poorly run business. read more

If you decide to go with Navtec for jeep touring or river rafting be sure and request Zoe as your guide! We recently took the jeep tour with her. We were so impressed by her skill, knowledge of the area and it's geology, (not to mention her great personality), that we decided on the spot to go river rafting with her as our guide the very next day. We highly recommend Zoe for both activities. When you do the jeep tour make sure the front desk does not put you in a jeep called Sweet Alice. The vehicle is pretty run down and was very difficult to get into second gear when we needed it most for rugged rock terrain. We noticed that there are better vehicles in the fleet, so just ask for one those. The jeep tour is a great way to see the Arches away from all the crowds and the river rafting offers exciting fun! read more

My friend and I were visiting Moab for a few days. To see as much as we could, we booked two tours with Navtec... Arches 1/2 Day Safari and Island in the Sky Half Day Canyonlands. As it was late March, Navtec had not yet started sunset tours. However, through email and a phone call, I was able to work with Mary Alice in the office to add an evening tour to the schedule for us. We booked the Arches tour as a sunset tour and the Canyonlands tour for the following day as a morning tour. We received email confirmations from Navtec shortly after booking. The office is right off the main road in downtown Moab. Very easy to find. Upon checking in at the office for our evening tour of Arches, Mary Alice had us complete a few simple forms before introducing us to our guide Rick. Rick took us out to the Land Cruiser that we would be using for our tour. Rick was friendly and flexible from the start. He got us setup in the 4x4 making sure we had plenty of water and snacks. Additionally, my friend and I brought our backpacks along with our own snacks and water. We were well supplied! Since it was March, we wore jackets. The vehicle had air conditioning and a heater. Keep in mind that there is no music in the vehicle. The radio is disabled. We drove out of town towards Arches while Rick started to point out some sights around the area. This tour takes you through the back roads of Arches away from the paved roads that most of the tourists are using. There is some rough terrain that the 4x4 is able to navigate. It seemed that this kept the crowds away. Rick stopped at several prominent sights inside the park... Dinosaur tracks, Balanced Rock, hidden arches, rock formations, etc. Rick seemed to know all the secret spots around the park! Along the way, he happily snapped photos where we wanted, stopped if we wanted to take a longer look at something, or answered questions that we had. There are several bathroom stops along the route. It was a great overview of the park's backcountry without all of the crowds. As our tour wound down, we drove back to the office. We really liked Rick's easygoing, friendly style... So we requested to have him as our guide for the following day at Canyonlands! Navtec was able to the juggle their scheduling last minute. When we arrived for our Canyonlands tour the following morning, one of the managers, Angela, surprised us with Rick once again as our guide. Back in the 4x4 to Canyonlands, we got more of the same friendly treatment. Rick continued to point out sights, stop for photos, etc. Rick masterly navigated the back roads of the park showing us countless sights. Again, it was nice discovering the park away from the crowds with a local expert. Between our two tours with Rick, he graciously gave us all kinds of tips about what else to see in the area, hikes, restaurants, etc. While out on the roads, we knew we were in safe, capable hands. Without question, we had two amazing tours! I highly recommend you ask for Rick if you are headed out with Navtec! read more

David was excellent canyoneering tour guide. Recommend this adventure trip for everyone! I am 62 year old woman, and this trip was very strenuous, but well worth it.

Mike was THE most dashingly handsome guide I have EVER had. He even made us a delicious salmon dinner with Crown liquor and cheesecake. Wow!!! Plus his knowledge of the terrain, foliage and history was on point. Maze Tour Tip: read your itinerary! I like to be "surprised." Last year I took the Island in Sky Tour, which was not extraneous at all. Figured same for the 2 day Maze tour. Nope. First thing was a six mile trek thru Horseshoe Canyon. Alone. In the middle of a wicked sand storm. With the last mile being a 75 degree incline up sand and gravel. And it wasn't your typical dry hot Moab weather so def bring the gear listed on your itinerary (ie waterproof pants and hiking boots). Other than that, excellent trip! I will continue to use Navtec until I see it all!!! read more

Zach was an amazing guide! Love the laid back feeling of their tours! Definitely recommend them!

We took the 4 hour raft trip that was more of a peaceful ride than anything white waterish. The wind was terrible so we had to help paddle but that was totally ok. Our guide - his name is Lake - yes, like Salt Lake is a really good guy. He worked his butt off fighting the wind and was fun to be around. We had a nice afternoon with great views. See if Lake can be your guide. read more
