We specialize in both summer and winter adventures. You can experience the thrill of rafting whitewater on the Colorado River, explore Utah's Canyon Country by four-wheel-drive or take a winter escape to Baja and the Sea of Cortez.

For 35 years, NAVTEC has operated professionally guided trips on the Colorado River in Canyonlands and in Baja's Sea of Cortez. You can be assured our knowledge and experience in the canyons and on the water is of the highest caliber. Our rafts, sea kayaks and other equipment are top quality and state of the art.

Quality meals

Guides have comprehensive river and sea kayaking skills, enjoy working with people and know well the rivers and oceans where they work. Camp meals served on our trips offer fresh wholesome food skillfully prepared by your guides. You'll eat well on all NAVTEC trips! Giving you a safe and enjoyable vacation is our highest priority. NAVTEC treats you with respect.

Our camp and expedition etiquette ensures minimum impact to land, river and sea. NAVTEC continues a long William's family tradition of protecting the natural world.

NAVTEC stands for Navigation Technologies and we bring the best design and construction to your outdoor adventures.

Arches NP

I

Doc J.W. Williams in Arches N.P. at the age of 100

He fell in love with the redrock country and spent a lifetime enlisting local residents, senators and presidents to make Arches a national monument.

When he died at the age of 103, Doc Williams was recognized as the Father of Arches National Park. His dream had become a reality.

My mother and father spent decades further exploring and showing people Canyonlands and Baja. They traveled by foot, jeep, raft and aircraft. For three generations our family has taken visitors to the remote and isolated rivers of the Colorado Plateau and the backcountry of Baja, Mexico.

Chris & Wesley
