We chose to visit Moab in late February. Unfortunately, most places were not open for the season yet. One place that was open was Navtech. And, Boy Howdy, are we glad they were. We did not we'd be that interested in a full day back country 4x4 tour, one half in Canyonlands and one half in Arches. We did not think we were the type to enjoy the (occasionally very) rough road touring through the back country of the parks. We were WRONG, it was GREAT! We are so glad that Navtech was the place open and the tour we got from them. There is a wonder in seeing things in the back country that only probably 3% of people who visit the park see. So our, oh well I guess we'll do that, became Oh my goodness, I am so glad we did that.

Great tour. Great guide. He was very knowledgeable and very interested in the preservation of the park . Also very safety conscientious! I recommend it ! It is a must!!!

There are not enough positive words to say about our experience with Navtec. Our guide, Marcia, was beyond knowledgeable about the area and was so amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier person to show us the ins and outs of the area. we saw so many amazing sites and our guide really took her time and allowed us to explore the area and showed us all of the things that are off of the beaten tourist path. She gave us so many ideas for the next time we come back for things we want to do and see. There were so many more things that I could say about our experience, but I will just leave it at excellent, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly, highly recommend!! And if you have the chance to request Marcia, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience. Ron was our tour guide and went the distance to create a great day. Can't thank him enough. My advice, bottom line: Just do it. Pull the trigger and sign up. You'll be glad for it. I was traveling through with limited time in the Moab area so decided to rely on a tour to get the best experience for both Arches and Canyonlands. I would not have seen the incredible places Ron took us without being on that tour. All the tour guides do their best to provide great experiences. The full day tour that I purchased provides lunch, plenty of water refills and lots of good snacks. To have someone else do the driving and show you around while you focus on the sights and take all the pictures your camera can manage. Wear good walking/trail shoes, a hat, and bring your personal water bottle for refills.

My wife and I did this expedition in late October of 2024 and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, everything was perfect. I initially considered renting a 4x4 and driving the road myself. After taking the tour, I'm glad I let the professionals handle it. If you are not an experienced off-road driver, don't do it. Spend your time enjoying the ride and taking in the sights instead. Our guide Seth was friendly, a responsible and highly capable driver, incredibly knowledgeable about the area, a great conversationalist, and more than willing to take as many photos as we might request (hint: It was more than a few!). You will see so much on this tour and the day will just blow by. Some examples: 1. Petroglyphs 2. Jug Handle Arch 3. Thelma & Louise Point 4. Musselman Arch 5. Lathrop Canyon 6. White Rim Road 7. Shafer Trail Road There is SO much to see here, and all of it is beautiful. We took literally hundreds of photos. We even got lucky enough to run into a small group of Bighorn Sheep grazing just beside the road. Even the lunch was fantastic. We had a chicken wrap, which was cold and delicious, along with fruit and a small dessert, next to the Colorado River in Lathrop Canyon. Navtec is very mindful of safety and the needs of passengers. There were plenty of bathroom breaks, and snacks and water were readily available at all times. Our guide Seth was trained in remote medical emergency procedures, and the 4x4 was equipped with spare tire, medical kit and other emergency supplies should we need them (we didn't). We wrapped up the day with a drive up the Shafer Trail Road. You can see this road from the top down at the Canyonlands visitor center. It was a completely different experience driving up it. This tour was unquestionably a highlight of our trip to Arches and Canyonlands (and we had a LOT of great experiences). Navtec was highly professional and our guide Seth was exceptional. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Mike

We had an incredible experience with Mike as our canyoneering guide! He was fantastic with our 6-year-old daughter, making her feel safe and excited throughout the adventure. His wealth of knowledge about the area added depth to the experience, and he was always focused on safety while ensuring we had a blast. Mike's fun personality made the day unforgettable for our family. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to explore canyoneering!

We didn't know what to expect and it was AWESOME! Our diver and guide Andy was great! Very very knowledgeable about everything and had some really good BAD jokes. We were able to see some places that the average park goes doest get to see and the trail were full of exiting obstacles. If you want some real 4x4 experience and see some beautiful country highly recommend this company company. Want to come back and do Canyon Lands with them!

We had gone to Island in the Sky with an audio tour the day before. This was even better. Driving into the back country over insanely rough roads opened up a vast wilderness of rock formations and grasslands we could never have seen on our own. Charlotte, our guide, was a great driver and a fount of information on geology, flora and fauna.

Excellent tour with Seth! Off road trip to places we would never have seen on our own. Seth was very knowledgeable and told us all about the geology, stopped at multiple sites and took photos. Great experience!!

We took the Canyonlands half day tour from Moab through Navtec Expeditions on 10/22/24. Our tour group size was 5 and Navtec provided pickup and drop off at our hotel. Our tour guide was Cody. Cody was an excellent tour guide! He was very personable, passionate, and knowledgeable of the history and facts of the Canyonlands area, as he spends personal time there as well as conducting tours. I highly recommend this tour for seeing the Canyonlands, as we took a back country route that provided unique perspective. The scenery was astounding and the overall experience very enjoyable. A memory maker!

The views were amazing and so was our guide, Turner. He was so knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable. The trip was about 3 hours, with a stop for lunch which Turner prepared for us. Various sandwiches, chips, drinks and cookies. It was hot so wear a hat, sunscreen & take water. We did get wet but dried off pretty quick. Would highly recommend!

My husband and I booked the calm water tour of the Colorado River. It was a beautiful fall day - warm and sunny. But the water levels were low so we opted not to do river rafting. We basically had a personal tour with Josh - we were the only ones this afternoon and they gave us the option to pay for the 3rd person so the trip would go (minimum # of guests). The tour max is 6. We did this mainly due to time constraints on our part - but it turned out to be wonderful. Josh was informative and friendly. He stopped at some great places along with river and gave us the history and importance of each. We also stopped for some great photo ops. We put in at Potash Rd (just beyond the Mine) and went about 14 miles up to the Dead Horse Canyon Overlook. It's just beautiful to see the views from the water after having hiked up on the rim at Dead Horse the day before. It was a beautiful way to spend the afternoon.

We went with a group of friends on this tour, and we all had a blast. Our guides picked us up at our hotel, and we set out for the tour in several Land Cruisers. The tour is mostly through unpaved back country without the glitz and traffic of Arches (which is of course outstanding in its own right). The guides were very knowledgeable about the history, industry and geology of the area. They explained in excellent detail the petroglyphs, rock formations, arches, potash evaporation ponds, watercourses, and geography that we were seeing. A highlight of the journey for some, beyond the knowledge imparted and gained, was the experience of ascending some 1200 feet on the Schaefer Switchbacks on what for all appearances is a canyon wall. A big thank you to Blaine and his knowledgeable, careful and responsible crew. We would definitely recommend this excursion.

Our family was traveling through Utah and made a quick change of plans to visit Moab. We stumbled on NAVTEC and gave them a call. The 4x4 Canyonlands tour was their recommendation for our 1 day stop in the area. When we arrived, the office was well prepared and the tour started on time. Seth was our families tour guide and he shared his passion for geology with us along the entire tour. It was like my kids had their own private geology tutor as they adventured the roads less traveled. I'm not sure any of us will ever look at rocks, dirt, mountains or cliffs the same. Seth shared the history of the areas ancient civilizations, pioneers to the current legends. The views were incredible. He also gave us a few 'choose your own adventure' type options. Seth was a fantastic guide, Navtec was well organized and the adventure was one we'll remember for a lifetime.

Took the 1/2 day tour to Canyonlands on October 14, 2024. Our guide was Greg. He was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. So glad we took this tour instead of driving ourselves. Highly recommend this tour and ask for Greg as your guide.
