Originally booked for a full day canyon trip, Big Bend River Tours allowed my wife and I to change our plans last minute to a 1/2 day trip due to bad weather coming through. By allowing us to change from a full day to 1/2 day, we avoided driving in a bad ice storm that came through the region later in the afternoon/evening. We were grateful we got to see the beauty of Big Bend State Park and the amazing Dark Canyon. La was a terrific guide and I would recommend her and this wonderful company to anyone looking for a safe and fun river trip in the region.

My daughter and I took a day-long canoe trip through Santa Elena Canyon with Big Bend River Tours. This was one of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. Our guides were very knowledgeable and were always there to help us if needed. This canoe trip through Santa Elena Canyon is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Big Bend to not miss this. It will be the highlight of your trip. My daughter and I made memories that will last a lifetime.

We had 17 in our group and the guides were great. We took a canoe trip on March 11, 2015. They picked us up at Lajitas Golf Resort. All we needed to take were water bottles. They provide life jackets, water, drink mixes, & snacks (cookies, oranges, crackers, cheese, etc). It was $261 for our family of 4.

We took a half-day raft trip down the Rio Grande, in Big Bend Ranch State Park. Floating through the canyons was beautiful beyond compare! We saw great birds and plants. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. We are all couch potatoes, and it was our first rafting experience, and the guide could not possibly have been more helpful. Even the drive to the river access point was beautiful. The trip was topped off with a nice lunch -- cheese and crackers, fruit, peanut butter, cookies. The guide steers the raft -- you just relax and enjoy. (Bring water shoes or old sneakers -- your feet WILL get wet getting in and out of the raft.)

We hit a perfect day for this with cloudless blue skies and no wind. The company has good equipment, dry bags for your gear and very good professional guides that keep a watchful eye on their flock of canoeists. They provided good safety, basic technique, and river information, but the river is placid enough for even people who have never been in a canoe before to feel safe and have fun going down it.The river water was quite low when we went, so the canyon trip was not possible, but the soak in the hot springs along the way was a nice alternative.Our only complaint was we found it to be a bit pricey, and there was no alternative available for going by yourself rather than with the guided group. Overall, pretty highly recommended.

We took a full-day river tour through Big Bend River Tours in January 2015. With winter storms preceding our trip, river levels allowed for a choice between canoeing Hot Springs or Santa Elena Canyon. We chose Santa Elena and did not regret it.Our guide, Andy, was fantastic. He shared information about the park and offered advice on certain hikes during the drive to and from the canyon. You could tell that he takes pride in sharing his home with others.The trip itself went about 3 miles upriver into Santa Elena as far as Fern Canyon. We were able to explore the side-canyon a bit on foot and then set-up just downriver for lunch. Andy took care of everything with lunch, which included lunch meats and fresh veggies (along with condiments) as well as peanut butter and jelly for sandwiches, cheese, chips and salsa, apples, oranges, and cookies for dessert. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but suffice it to say that the meal was exactly what was needed and was enjoyed in the most beautiful setting imaginable inside Santa Elena Canyon.After lunch, Andy packed everything back up and we paddled back down river to the take-out, which was about a mile below where we put in, for a total of about 7 miles. Andy loaded everything back up and we were off on our return trip, with a stop at Sotol Vista along the way to stretch our legs and take some photos. We made it back to Terlingua in time to take in the sunset.Our experience level varied greatly, but Andy had great patience and everyone was able to get used the the canoes and had a great time.I would not hesitate to recommend Big Bend River Tours. Thank you to Andy and everyone for a memorable experience.

We took the smaller (about 3 hour) cruise of the Rio Grande in the Big Bend State Park (not the National Park). The rafting trip itself was a little less than 2 hours in the dark canyon area. The guide was excellent albeit new in the job. They break for a quick snack of fruits, crackers and cheese in the middle. A few mini rapids (Level 1/2) are there so the kids got some excitement.They are very expensive though. We feel we should have gone to the Santa Elena Canyon instead of the Dark Canyon because Santa Elena is far more imposing. There is a 30+ min ride from their facility to the point where you get on the raft inside the park. Their van was in good shape and the driver is very careful.

My husband and I booked a three day Boquillas River tour with BBRT back in March for a tour the week of Thanksgiving 2014. Not only was the company willing to book us that far in advance, they didn't even seem troubled by it. Anyway, The trip was amazing and our guide James was exceptional. Before we started our trip they asked us if we minded if a trainee Matthew tagged along with us and we told them we didn't mind. Matthew was wonderful, as well, and I hope to see him there in the future. James was friendly, informative and the food was amazing. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was provided for our trip. Im talking eggs, bacon, coffee, pancakes, coffee...GOOD hearty breakfast. Lunch, fruit and sandwiches, Dinner....STEAK!!! Like filet mignon!! one night and fajitas the other night. So good! Wine, all the good stuff. I could go on and on but you will never know till you try BBRT yourself. You will not be disappointed. As far as a few tips. Regardless of when you go, definitely bring a hat and some sunscreen. Long sleeves and some shoes you don't mind getting wet. Perhaps a rain jacket or a water resistant windbreaker. In that we didn't really get splashed from rough rapids (weren't any) unless you get it on purpose (thanks James) just kidding, but your shoes will get wet at times from getting in and out of the raft or canoe. Lip balm is a must especially if you are prone to dry lips/sunburn. They will provide dry bags for your stuff and they give you tips on how to pack. Check in with them was easy and quick and your vehicle is safe and secure on BBRT premises. I even felt comfortable leaving our keys with them. Without rambling too much, I can't say enough about BBRT. We highly recommend them. Everyone we met there was just amazing, friendly and professional. Can't wait to go back. See you soon!!

We wanted to explore Big Bend National Park, but had limited time. So we booked a private tour with Big Bend River Tours. Lou was our guide for the day. We wanted to see it all, and Lou made it happen for us. One member of our group really wanted to make it to the Hot Springs & another member wanted to see the canyons. They are on opposite ends of a massive park, but Lou did it! Not only did we see and explore both of those, but we drove into the mountains where we had a lovely picnic lunch(provided by Big Bend River Tours). Lou is a former park ranger so she has an wealth of knowledge on the geology, geography, plants, & wild life. We loved it!

did their morning river float which provided some Rapids, snacks, fabulous views down the Rio Grande between the US and Mexico in the Big Bend State Park. Both guides were personable, knowledgeable and fun. A great company to work with
