This tour was an absolute blast. The views are incredible and our tour guide, Carter, had a wealth of knowledge and insight on everything we saw. I highly recommend this tour if you are traveling to Moab!

robertwJ6188RO

The scenery on this tour was outstanding! I would highly recommend it. Our guide Joe was terrific! Personable, knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. Joe, the pizza at Antica Forma was excellent and Butch Cassidy’s buddies were the hole in the wall gang. Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon!

10/10 recommend doing this tour through Canyonlands. Joe was the best guide around. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make us feel special. Everything about the trip was amazing.

This tour was absolutely fantastic! It was our favorite park with the gorgeous views and the drive up to the top of Island in the Sky was breathtaking, as well as at times taking our breath away with all the switchbacks. Carter was our guide and we had so much fun with him. He not only had a deep knowledge of this area of the park, he has a great personality. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. I would absolutely recommend Navtec for a tour. As a side note, my husband had a recent surgery and being a little concerned about the possibility of a very bumpy ride, I called the day before our tour. The young lady who answered the phone listened well, understood my concerns, and assured me we would be okay. The day of the tour, Carter drove us in a 'comfort' suv and that meant so much that the company took my concern to heart. It was a thoroughly enjoyable 4 hours. Carter was awesome!!

It was a true adventure going up a d around the beautiful mountains and Rock formations. The landscape and sunsets awesome. Cody, our tour guide was very pleasant, knowledgeable and a thoughtful driver which we appreciated.

Ann_B

This tour was the highlight of our visit to Moab. We would not have seen parts of Canyonlands on our own or learned about the park and its geography without a guide. The drive along the White Rim Road was an incredible experience. Highly recommend this tour!!

We had an amazing time riding around the Canyonlands national park. We learned a lot of the history of the area, and our guide took the extra time to ensure our kids had a great time exploring the area.

Val-Silver-Spring

This was an amazing tour-the highlight of our trip. We got to see Canyonlands from the floor of the valley to the top of the park. Our guide Blaine was outstanding! He knew everything from history to paleontology to the native Americans of the area. This is a must-do tour
