WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Canyonlands National Park
After making your own way to the meeting point in central Moab, your guide takes you by 4WD vehicle about 30 miles (48 km) to reach the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park.
2. Utah Scenic Byway 279 Rock Art Sites
In an area filled with challenging mountain passes, technical terrain and plenty of level 2, 3 and 4 hikes, the Rock Art Sites of Moab offer travelers easy access to ancient drawings scattered along paths even a novice can navigate.
3. Dead Horse Point State Park
Your guide takes the White Rim Road, which gives you awe-inspiring views of the Colorado River below on one side and the cliffs of Dead Horse Point rising on the other side, framed by the blue desert sky.
4. White Rim Road
This rugged portion of the 25-mile (40-km) White Rim Road loop offers incredible views around every bend. Explore more of this amazing landscape on several short optional hikes just beneath the White Rim Sandstone level. Follow your guide on moderately challenging hikes to caves, caverns and breathtaking viewpoints over the mighty Colorado River. Or simply relax near the vehicle and soak up the views.
5. Lathrop Canyon
You also visit park treasures such as Gooseneck overlook, Lathrop Canyon, Musselman Arch and the famous Shafer Trail, which follows a series of switchbacks down to the Colorado River corridor.
6. Moab
Your full-day tour includes a stop for a delicious buffet-style picnic lunch accompanied by cold water and lemonade. At the end of an unforgettable day, your guide returns you to Moab to end your tour.
7. Green River
Below the Island in the Sky mesa sits the White Rim formation, an expansive rock terrace located about 1,000 feet (300 meters) above the Colorado and Green Rivers and the same impressive distance below the mesa. In this rock wilderness, big horn sheep traverse rocky ledges sprinkled with piñon and juniper forest

Blaine was our guide. He is a historian. He had great historical stories and facts throughout the ride. His talk on the petroglyphs was so informative. He gave us insight into what the people were trying to communicate. The ride in 4x4 was safe. The views of Canyon land were phenomenal Highly recommend this trip and company

We had THE most fabulous day of discovery doing this adventure.
The scenery was stunning; lunch was freshly made and delicious; and Joe our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, enthusiastic and an all round top chap - as was his partner in our adventure, Blaine.
We felt informed, valued and safe in his hands all day.
Thanks Joe for giving us a trip we'll never forget!

Cole was an amazing driver for us. I am afraid of heights and he did a wonderful job. Highly recommend going on the white rim trail. Got to see some parts of the park that others don't get to see.

This trip let you see views of Canyonlands that you wouldn’t see otherwise and only very experienced drivers should be on White Rim. Matt was knowledgeable and shared information about the park and geology IF we asked. But, he did not give much info otherwise. On our way out, we didn’t stop because Matt said we’d stop at places on the way back. It made the drive out rather long. A LOT of the reviews mentioned lunching right by the river, which would have been nice. We lunched no where near it on the side of the road in hot sun. The lunch was good and filling and Matt had lots of water. But bring your own water bottle to fill!! Concerning “hikes” we did 1 very minor walk up a wash out. Other than that, nothing but a few stops for scenic views. Matt mentioned he sometimes had people who didn’t even want to get out of the truck and maybe assumed our group was that? He should have asked if we wanted more hiking since all 4 of us did and it was very obvious from conversation we all often hiked. On the way back, it didn’t seem like we did the stops he had passed on the way out. Except for seeing some spectacular views from the white rim, some other reviewers seem to have had a more complete experience. For the good news, the Schaefer trail and views were great and Matt took us out of the park down a very narrow road down to the river that was very fun! So, I’d say it was a good tour for views but Matt needs to have the trip flow better, make stops up and back, find a better lunch spot and understand better what kind of experience his clients are looking for (eg hiking vs sitting in a truck).

The tour took us up the side of the canyon and afforded us breathtaking views of the Colorado River basin. There’s no way you could ever get these views of the canyon from the paved roads available to regular cars. Our guide was amazingly knowledgeable and an excellent driver. Always felt safe even on some very rough and narrow parts of the trail. This tour was worth every penny!

My husband and I took the Arches tour from NAVTEC the day before with Devon and we had an awesome time. The next day we had another tour scheduled for the Canyonlands. Unfortunately, there was a glitch between Viator and NAVTEC and they could not see our reservation. Instead of refunding our money and sending us on our way, they found a guide on a moment’s notice and we were able to do the tour even though we didn’t have the minimum of three people in our group. NAVTEC went above and beyond to give us a great experience with Blaine, who was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Can’t say enough great things about our experience with this tour company.
