Great family adventure! - Outstanding experience! Our family (two teen boys) loved our day on the Rio Grande! Our guide, Mads, expertly guided us and made it a super fun experience. I highly recommend going with Big River - a safe and exciting afternoon - a great way to get to see the beautiful scenery from a unique perspective!

Highly Recommend - We had an absolute blast! Our guide Miguel was a great storyteller and kept us entertained throughout our journey. August is a good month to take your inexperienced family members as the water is a little lower and slower. People on this trip ranged in age from 10-75 and we all can’t wait to do it again!

Mads was an awesome guide!! - Our tour guide made this a fabulous trip. Going in the morning was excellent time without a ton of other boats on the river.
I am so glad we decided to go on this trip.

Great Rafting Experience - This was the first time for me going rafting (the rest of our group had been before). It was wonderful!!! First, I have fallen in love with New Mexico and with river rafting. Second, out guide (captain, Jesse) was so great. His knowledge of the area was amazing. He told us so much about the canyon, the river, the history. He also gave us great recommendations or excellent places to eat. I would and will do this again.

Great rafting trip - Brian was an amazing guide, so skilled in navigating the rocks down the river and full of interesting information on the surrounding terrain. The surprise snack in the river was great too!

Top Notch Raft trip! - Brian was an amazing guide on this fun trip down the river. He manuevered the raft with ease arount the many rocks due to relatively low water level making it very eason on us, and was a wealth of knowledge on the surrounding terrain. The snack in the river was also a cool treat!

Lots of fun! - My family had a great time. We thought we were going to miss it due to a major accident on I-25, but Billy was able to accommodate us. Mads was a great tour guide. We were well prepared for any issues that might've come up, but none did.

Sisters on the raft - We had a great trip. It's a small business owned by a really great person, Billy. He went way out of his way to accomodate us! Seth was our guide and made sure we were safe but had a good time. Use this company & support small business. You will have ZERO regrets!

Great New Mexico family experience - Our guide was great and navigated us safely through the “race course”. I took my daughter and 3 granddaughters aged 7-15. The rapids were just enough excitement without causing us any problems. Our guide accommodated the 7-yr old who wanted to swim also.
