5Great mix of calm water and rapids...
We did a half day whitewater rafting trip with Ben the best guide in the business. The weather was awesome for early October, sunny with high's in the 70's. We got a history, geology, wildlife and cultural tour of the Taos Valley area along with class 2 & 3 rapids. We took a break halfway down and had Ben's chips & salsa. I watched other rafters float by, and wondered (did they get chips and salsa?). Nah they didn't. Too bad for them. All things considered it a a great way to spend 3 hours!

We had an amazing trip! Thank you, Seth, for getting us down the river safely AND helping us stay in the raft during tight places! Book with Big River Rafting!
5Great trip!
We had an amazing trip with Seth! He literally pulled our crew out of tough places, including thread the needle! You gave us a lot of great information and helped us every step of the way! Thank you for a great trip!
55 star experience
BEN was thee hands down best rafting guide we’ve ever had rafting. We watched other companies with crowded rafts struggle to get thru the racecourse as Ben guided us pretty flawlessly while still provided us with tons of history and information of the rapids , the surrounded area, as well as the vegetable and wildlife around us. We’re looking forward to coming back to raft with Ben specifically
5Lots of fun
A lot of fun, great guide, highly recommend.
