Descend into the many canyons of the Rio Grande by boat. Float through the spectacular scenery of the international boundary. The water level determines which canyon we float through and whether we float in canoes, kayaks, or rafts. This scenic float is great for all ages. Come explore the Chihuahuan Desert and learn about the geology, plants, and history. This is a full day trip, you will be responsible for bringing your lunch, and we have the coolers to pack your lunch in.

Thinking of gifting the Float the Canyons trip! Anyone done it?

I’m considering this float trip as a gift for my parents who love nature. It seems like a great way to see the Rio Grande! Has anyone done it recently? I’d love to hear how the scenery is and if there’s anything special we should prepare for.

Is this float trip good for beginners?

I’ve never been kayaking or canoeing before and my friend wants to book this. Is it suitable for total newbies? I really want to make sure we can handle it.
