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.

I highly recommend going with Navtec for your river guide experience. Westwater was a rush! Our guide was Jonah and he was not only a river guide expert but he knew a ton of geology facts about the surrounding canyons. Really brought the scenery to life for us!

Our family spent a terrific day with NAVTEC at Westwater. The ride to the river was full of information about the surrounding area geology, wildlife and wild west stories. On the river we opted to paddle and be apart of the river experience. Our guide Gunner was fun, but also very knowledgeable of the river and the rapids and approached each rapid with our utmost safety in mind. We had a great time!!!

Great company to work with. Easy to get reservations. They are super prepared. But be prepared to take a 45 minute van ride out to the river, it's well North of Moab. They had all the supplies we needed to avoid getting soaked. They provided both waterproof bags and thick rain suits and helmets. The guide was amazing and did a good job explaining the geology and the river. I'd say he was one of the best river guides we have ever been on the river with. He worked the river beautifully, gave us unlined number of instructions for safety, and did an amazing job instructing us on what to do when we hit the rapids. Did I tell you to be prepared to work the buckets. LOL We were very lucky, it was the last all day trip they sold in October. The water level was good but not crazy like it is in April. The last hour of the trip is just a lazy float trip down to the pick up point. I would suggest this company, especially if this is your first float trip. I can't wait to go back and do an overnight trip.
