“As someone who hadn't been to this part of the country before, I really didn't know what to expect. My Navtec guides — Bronson, Cole, Wyatt, and Lake — were friendly, engaging, skilled, and knowledgeable. They clearly love this place and their enthusiasm is contagious. The entire experience — not just what I did and saw, but who was taking me to these places and telling me about them — was simply incredible. I would not hesitate to recommend Navtec to anyone heading in this direction.”

“Rafting the Colorado River is the perfect companion to visits to nearby Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. We booked the afternoon trip and were picked up at the Red Cliffs Lodge where we were staying. Pickup was right on time and everything was well organized at the launch site. Actually, it's more of a transfer point. If you book the morning trip with Adrift, they put in higher up the river and end at where we joined the rafts with ours being guided by Austin who did a great job. The full day option just combines the two sections. The lower section which we were on includes the only class…”

“Before our trip includes the bus ride to and from the drop off/pick up locations. That meant that our time on the water was not as long as I would have liked it to be. We had four rapids that we went across, class two and class one, and my kids (16, 7) really enjoyed it. This was their first time. The guides were great, and the process was very efficient for getting the rafts in the water, and getting out. We were allowed to swim alongside the raft, and that was great! The water was really cold, but it was refreshing after sitting in the hot rat for 10…”
