    5.0· 2 reviews· 3 hours

    A five-mile stretch of the Taos River with class I-III+ rapids — a half-day adventure with calm sections for scenic views.

    We truly had an incredible experience! Choosing this excursion was a great decision. Rio was an outstanding guide, making the adventure enjoyable and thrilling. The safety briefing was excellent, which helped us feel ready to explore the water. Overall, it was a fantastic time. I highly recommend it!Muneera_P
  2. Half-day whitewater rafting on the Rio Grande, Taos2

    2. Half-day whitewater rafting on the Rio Grande

    5.0· 250 reviews· 3 hours

    Three-hour Class III whitewater rafting tour, suitable for families and first-timers, set in the scenic Rio Grande Gorge near Taos.

    I had an amazing experience on the Rio Grande. Even though I’m not a strong swimmer and had never rafted before, our guide Brian made everything clear and manageable. I opted for the racecourse despite my inexperience, and I found it easy to navigate with his guidance. I felt confident the entire time and was pleased to have chosen this tour instead of a more relaxed float down the river. It was a fantastic adventure, even for someone like me! The scenery was stunning too.handson64
