Liz and I thoroughly enjoyed the rafting trip. Our guide Brian, was very informative and thankfully he did all the paddling. Even though it was a class 1/2 rapids, it was very easy for him to take us gracefully through the 'rapids'. Scenery was awesome!

Just absolutely wonderful!!! Ryan and Lucas made it a very safe adventure and especially FUN!!! We were supposed to do the float but Ryan asked if we wanted to do the racecourse and it was GREAT!! Beautiful scenery and just the right amount of adventure!! Everyone should do this and we want to thank Ryan and Lucas for a fun, fantastic day!!!!

Great float trip. We had fun with our older kids. It is slower paced but paddling is involved at times.

Very charismatic tour guide. Smooth, air conditioned transportation to and from River head. We lucked out with amazing weather and very few people on the river.

Finding Far Flung was a highlight of a trip through New Mexico. We could not have asked a better, more expeirenced guide to lead us down the river than Megan. She was thorough, helpful, and most of all very patient with a couple who hadn't been on a river in quite some time. Megan took extra time to point out pieces of interest. She also made sure our safety was important. We'll attack the racecourse the next time we head to Taos.

We had a great time on this float. Billy was a great guide and was most entertaining. Would have loved for the trip to be a little longer.

Our guide Rob. He was so friendly; insightful, did the major brunt of the paddling, and showed us the wonders of the Rio Grande ! Thank you Rob !!
