22. Half-day whitewater rafting on the Rio Grande
5.0· 250 reviews· 3 hoursThree-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
