What To Expect

NAVTEC Expeditions - Day Tours

Get started in the morning after making your way to the office in central Moab. Meet your guide for a safety orientation, then get outfitted with a lifejacket and other necessary gear. A van transfers you to the put-in site on the river where your guide gives a safety briefing and paddle lesson. Then step into your boat, push off from the bank and start down the Westwater Canyon section of the Colorado River.

Colorado River

Your full-day rafting trip through Westwater Canyon provides both challenging white water and stunning scenery. Raft through 12 Class III and IV rapids including Funnel Falls, Skull and Sock It To Me. Your expert guide rows your oarboat through the rapids while you hang on and enjoy the thrills and splashes. On most trips, paddleboats are also available and participants help power the raft while following directions from the guide. Between bouncy white-water sections, take in the stunning scenery of the canyon.

Westwater Canyon

The Westwater Canyon formed when the Colorado River cut across an ancient mountain range, the water channeling through hard rock to create the narrow canyon. Learn about the geology of the area from your guide, as well as its history and wildlife. You may see petroglyphs as well as remnants of the wild west such as old mining cabins and even an outlaw’s grave. Look for bald eagles roosting in old-growth cottonwood trees, river otters playing in the eddies and beavers slapping their tails.

Moab

At noon your guide steers you to shore for a delicious buffet lunch on a riverside beach. Have time to rest in the shade, snap pictures and soak up the canyon’s beauty. Once you're refreshed, hit the river again for more fun. At the end of an exciting day of rafting, your guide returns you to Moab.

My kids and I had a great time... Nothing too crazy or scary for the kiddos. Only recommendation would be the company should have lunch waiting and premade upon arrival at the mid point. We waited around over an hour to eat and then get back on the river..The guides were responsible for cutting, prepping and packing all the food. Seems to me the company should have someone set that up and prepare it so the guides aren't the ones responsible for all that as well as leaving customers to wait.

This was by far our most favorite and adventurous excursion we booked in Moab for our family vacation. Kief was such a great tour guide and really knows how to maneuver the boat in the rapids. We had our 80-year old father and my anxious sister with us. My sister was very nervous as this was her first White Water Rafting experience and this was a higher difficulty level than we originally booked. Kief is a 3rd generation River guide which really put my sister at ease. The tour starts out with a couple of hours of calm water with magnificent views, then we pulled alongside the river for lunch and after lunch was when the rapids and adventure really began. It was about an hour of super fun yet intense rapids which Kief handled with such grace. It was so exciting and such an exhilarating experience it's hard to put into words. After the rapids, the excitement continued as a lightning and rain storm made its way onto the River. Kief and the other guide Jonah decided to put onto a beach to wade out the storm. They even offered their own jackets to my dad and sister which somehow the raincoats we ordered did not make it on the boat. All the guides really knew the river and were very knowledgeable of the area and the outdoors. I will definitely book another White Water Rafting trip again with Navtec and request Kief as our guide. I look forward to the overnight rafting and camping trip Kief told us about. He had our mouths watering talking about all the yummy food he cooks up. I highly recommend the Westwater Canyon full day rafting adventure with Navtec!

Our family had the best time on the Westwater Canyon river rafting trip! We have three kids- 9, 11, and 14 year old- and it was the perfect adventure. It was the right balance of relaxation and adrenaline, with beautiful scenery! Jonah was the best guide ever- he was very engaging especially with the kids, and knowledgeable about the area and about the river itself. And he obviously loves being a guide. Don’t look further- this trip is sure to please!
