Trip Details

DURATION: 9 hours

In the morning, we travel in comfortable four-wheel-drive vehicles through the Island in the Sky District. Our professional guides will reveal sights often missed, taking us to Thelma & Louise point, along the famous White Rim Trail to Musselman Arch, and finally up the challenging Shafer Trail switchbacks. Numerous stops ensure excellent photographic opportunities of the expansive landscape. 

A delicious riverside picnic is served mid-day. 

Next, we transition to the water aboard the Navtec exclusive “Colorado River Sportboat”—a revolutionary RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) invented by our founder, John Williams, in the 1980s. This unique craft provides a scenic, yet thrilling adventure through the majestic Colorado River gorge known as Meander Canyon. 

Cruise under Dead Horse Point and take in the towering red rock walls around you. We'll visit an ancient petrified forest where entire trees are exposed and perhaps take time for a little swim.

Canyonlands National Park is a stunning showcase of geology. We'll observe how the Colorado River has carved its channel through layer upon layer of sedimentary rock. This comprehensive one-day tour covers a vast amount of spectacular country and is ideal for guests with limited time.
