This is an amazing tour. You will learn a ton of history while seeing Canyonlands from a different view point. Our tour guide Josh did an incredible job navigating the river. The 14 miles of 30 rapids you encounter will be the bestnyou have EVER rafted in your life. Class II,IV, and V.

AMAZING TIME!! Navtec is an amazing can-do outfit. We had a relatively complicated custom trip down Cataract Canyon and they were able to bring the pieces together to make it an epic adventure. The scenery was stunning, the whitewater was epic, and above all Josh, our great guide, was safe informative and fun. Thanks for a great trip. Looking forward to future adventures!!

I live in Utah and get to play in its National Parks all the time. I wanted to get two geocaches in Cataract Canyon for the longest time. Rafting through the canyon requires permitting and support that is really hard to do privately. One cache required finding at low water. Scheduling a trip during shoulder season was tough. I'd had the trip cancelled three times with another company because no one else signed up. NAVTEC worked with me to find a trip that was likely to go. Ironically that weekend worked with the schedule of a friend who I'd been asking to go with me since the idea's inception. We arrived at the NAVTEC office on the morning of the trip and met our guide Josh. We chatted about our caching goals. He was optimistic it could be done. When we met our raftmate we found she was equally up for the fun. The first day was a lovely trip across the flat water with a few hikes. I was glad to have been on the motorized raft as I would have been bored silly paddling that much flat water. Camp was beautiful. Even Mother Nature cooperated. Josh fed us well. He even taught us how to make cool tortilla cones to hold our meals. The second day was the white water. Since it was shoulder season, the water was low and the rapids not as large. I did learn one advantage of being in a motorized raft, the same rapid can be done multiple times! That was fun! We successfully got both caches. One took Josh's geology knowledge as well as just getting us there. Overall it was a very pleasant trip. All the stars truly aligned. Without the caches I probably never would have done a Cataract Canyon raft trip. NAVTEC and Josh made me glad I did.
