Great experience from booking to the end. This was a first raft for my kids, age 7 & 11. Our guide, Bill made the trip really fun for them. This course was perfect for their age! It was really nice that water gear was provided as it was about 68 and windy on the day we went. We got wet but never felt cool at all! Highly recommend, especially if you have kids and are not sure-do it!! A wonderful experience and great memories.

Highly recommend this group for your rafting adventure. Sidney was our guide and she was amazing! Terrific knowledge of the area, historic as well as loads of detail about the landscape. The outfit was well organized and super friendly. Heard they have a reputation for a long-standing crew on their team who have been guiding on the Rio Grande some 20+ years. I was with my teenage son who loved the trip.

The booking for this trip was done over the phone and was a very efficient process. It was followed up by confirmation emails with very good and accurate information, and the day before I received another phone call to confirm everything was a go. We met at the Pilar Cafe and parked at visitor center across the highway. Just a tip, get to the café early and order one of their great breakfast burritos! Bill was our guide and had everything ready to go. Once we arrived at the put in area, the inflatable raft and kayak came out and we were in the water after a safety briefing. All of the equipment was in excellent condition and was well-maintained. We did the full day tour and the first half was fairly calm with just a few very small areas of rapids. We stopped for lunch a few miles down stream, which was prepared by Bill and was very good. Homemade potato salad, fresh fruit, homemade dip and a variety of sandwiches. After lunch we headed to the race course section of the river. It was challenging but very enjoyable. Bill gave me tips along the way which made things a lot easier and more enjoyable. If you’re going on a raft trip on the Rio Grande near Taos, I would highly recommend Far Flung Adventures!
