  Mid October family and friends float

  We had an amazing experience with Brian today. The weather was lovely, and our group of seven—comprising three adults, three teens, and a child—enjoyed a raft, a paddle board, and a kayak. We took turns on the paddle board and kayak, but the raft was perfect for resting and taking in the scenic views. We encountered ducks and river otters along the way; it was serene, and the rapids were slightly challenging yet manageable, even for our moderately experienced 14-year-old paddle boarder. Brian was an outstanding instructor and guide. He had a relaxed and friendly demeanor, was very knowledgeable, and made great decisions for our group. He was engaging, well-informed, and connected well with the younger members of our party. The atmosphere was fantastic. Thank you!

  Must do experience in Big Bend!!

  This tour is a must when visiting Big Bend. My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed the full-day paddle adventure to the Hot Springs in the Rio Grande area. Our guide, Bobski, was very knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights about the park's geology, flora, and fauna. We were provided with a delicious lunch and also enjoyed a pleasant hike. I highly recommend this experience to anyone eager to explore Big Bend; it’s truly worth it.

  So enjoyable and relaxing!

  Our experience with Brian as our boat guide was outstanding. The trip was incredibly relaxing and surrounded by stunning nature. Brian's personality really enhanced the experience; he is fascinating and well-rounded. My wife mentioned wanting to return and tackle the level three rapids next time. I highly recommend this company.

  Great leisurely float.

  I had a wonderful time on the relaxing float trip. Garrett shared a lot of interesting information about the local area and its history. We even spotted some sheep and locals fishing for trout.

  Rio Grande River Float - fun, relaxing, beautiful

  The float trip on the Rio Grande was both serene and enjoyable. We encountered a few class 2 rapids, which were manageable for one in our group who had concerns about the difficulty. Being late in the season, we had the raft entirely to ourselves. Our guide provided engaging insights, and the vibrant colors and wildlife added to the beauty of the experience. Spending nearly two hours on the river was a lovely way to spend a morning, and we might consider a more thrilling rafting adventure next time.

  Ryan and Lucas we love y’all!!

  Our experience was truly incredible! Ryan and Lucas ensured we had a fun and safe adventure. Originally, we planned to float, but Ryan suggested the racecourse, which was an excellent choice. The scenery was stunning and the adventure just right. We highly recommend this to everyone and we're grateful to Ryan and Lucas for a fantastic day.
