Custom 4x4 tours into Canyonlands and Arches with the only licensed family outfitter guiding this country.
Two ways to start: the Arches Half-Day Safari or the Island in the Sky Half-Day in Canyonlands, both $198, both custom 4x4 Land Cruiser tours into backcountry most park visitors never reach. Your guide takes you past the crowds and onto the trails only a licensed outfitter can run.
Included: your guide, the 4x4 vehicle, park access, and cold water. Bring sun protection, a hat, and a camera.
A licensed National Park Service concessioner in both Canyonlands and Arches. We can legally take you where day-trippers can't go.
Family-owned and guided since the beginning — not a seasonal franchise. Every guide trains hard before they lead a tour, and brings a deep passion for this backcountry to every trip.
No cattle-car buses. Smaller vehicles mean your guide can actually talk to you about the country you are driving through.
Custom Land Cruisers set up for slickrock, sand, and shelf road — the right rig for the trail, every time.
The only Moab outfitter running all three. Build any combination — a 4x4 day, a river day, a canyon descent — in one booking.
Weather and conditions shift fast out here. Every reservation includes free date changes, so you can lock in now.
Half-day is where most people start. When you want more country, we go deeper.
Backcountry 4x4 into Arches, away from the crowds and onto trails most visitors never see.
Shafer Trail switchbacks and the White Rim in Canyonlands, with a guide who knows every turn.
Sandstone spires and Puebloan history in the Needles, the least-visited district of Canyonlands.
Every 4x4 and national-park tour we run, half-day to multi-day expedition. Not sure which fits your group? Tell us on the form and a guide will match you to the right one.
Add a Colorado River rafting day or a canyoneering descent to your 4x4 tour — one outfitter, one booking. Most guests do not come to Moab for just one thing. Mention it on the form and we will build the itinerary.

The half-day Arches and Island in the Sky tours are easy to moderate and suitable for all ages — you ride in the vehicle for most of it, with short walks at the stops. Full-day and Needles trips are more moderate, and the multi-day expeditions are strenuous. Tell us your group and we'll match the right trip.
Your guide, the 4x4 vehicle, national-park access, and cold water are included on every tour. Lunch is included on full-day and multi-day trips. We'll confirm exact inclusions for your date when you check availability.
A national-park entrance fee of about $15 per person applies and is waived if you hold an annual park pass. Most tours run with a minimum of around three guests. We'll walk you through the details for your chosen tour when you reach out.
Closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Bring a light layer in spring and fall, and a camera — the overlooks are worth it. We provide cold drinking water and the 4x4 vehicle.
Absolutely, and many guests do. NAVTEC is the only Moab outfitter running land, river, and canyoneering, so we can build a multi-day itinerary in one booking. Just mention it on the form below.
Plans in canyon country change fast. We offer free cancellation and date changes up to 24 hours before your trip, based on availability. Optional trip protection is also available at checkout for added flexibility.
