| Cataract during high water |
Never before has a one-day run through Cataract Canyon been available. This NAVTEC exclusive takes you on a famous 100-mile section of the Colorado River -- under Dead Horse Point, into Canyonlands National Park and onto Lake Powell.
Our Whitewater RHIBs (rigid hull inflatable boats) give you a fun and stable ride through such rapids as Hell-to-Pay, Capsize and the Big Drops. These small and competent craft are very maneuverable and provide a great ride in the rapids.
Cataract Canyon is one of the most exciting one-day river trips in the United States. During the months of May and June, class IV and V whitewater is not uncommon. If you'r looking for a day of super charged whitewater action, Cataract Canyon is the place and May and June is the time. Call our office for current river levels and conditions.

Watch for wildlife as you take in the canyon vistas. Enjoy a buffet-style picnic lunch on the banks of the river, with time to swim or relax in the shade.

We leave the water at Lake Powell's Hite Marina. You then have three options -- return to Moab by ground transportation, by scenic flight or have your personal vehicle shuttled to Hite for your arrival.
Prices and timetables for the different return options are listed below.
