Come explore the Chihuahuan Desert and learn about the geology, plants, and history.

Awesome kayaking/boat excursion on the Rio Grande, including the Hot Springs. Our guide Erika was amazing - funny, knowledgeable, great story teller, and very experienced. It was so much fun! And the scenery was incredible. We are fairly new to hiking and backpacking, and even though that wasn’t part of this trip, Erika shared a lot of information and tips to help us with a major trip we have planned in the immediate future. They have a lot of different trip offerings but will also work with you on customized itineraries too. Simply the best!

We very much enjoyed our trip with Erica and Jimmy. We highly recommend booking with them for your visit to Big Bend. This is why our trip with them was so great: (1) They were incredibly knowledgable about the ecology and history of the park. We learned so much from them. As locals to Teralingua, they also shared some interesting stories and perspectives. (2) The trip along the Rio Grande was spectacular. We had a great time exploring the canyon in 3 different ways: floating, hiking, and soaking in the hot springs! (3) They gave us lots of personal attention. You can tell they really wanted to make the trip special. They even helped us plan the must-sees for the rest of our trip in Big Bend! We hope to book with Erica and Jimmy again on our next visit to the park.

We booked this trip at the last minute, and the owner, Erica, was so accommodating in setting up a half day river trip for us. She picked us up at our hotel, and drove us to the put in point on the Rio Grande River in Big Bend Ranch State Park. She rowed us down the incredibly beautiful river all morning in a comfortable raft. She was mindful of safety and comfort, and provided drinks and snacks. Her knowledge of the surrounding terrain, plants, and animals was complete. The trip itself was so peaceful and relaxing. Her stories of the area, and her ability to make us feel at home and so welcome on this river trip made this a stand-out activity in the Big Bend area. Thank you so much, Erica, and the rest of your company for a wonderful morning on the river!
