Top Texas Float Trips

Float the Canyons of the Rio Grande River was an amazing trip. Our guide Nester was very knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun. I even caught a fish with my hand. I was wondering why the water was very muddy?

Guides were awesome! Very nice and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

AWESOME. As a solo traveler I was having trouble finding an outfitter to take me on the Rio Grande during my trip to Big Bend.Not only did they take me on the trip, Erin opened a time slot just to work with my schedule. They said they'd have to refund if no one else booked, but they were optimistic.Two weeks later, we had a group of 12+ and I had an amazing afternoon kayaking down the Rio Grande.My tour guides Andrew and Amanda were amazing, super knowledgeable about the wildlife, the water shed, the town history, the local food, and everything else about the area.Sincerely thank you. I will highly recommend this outfitter to my friends and family

Hannah and Ernesto were amazing guides that took us through the hot springs and we even got to swim in the canyon! An amazing experience amidst the sweltering heat. Best part of our Big Bend trip.

Eric was a great guide and hugely knowledgeable about the area and especially the geography. I had a fun and informative trip up (and down) the Rio Grande river. I highly recommend him and the company.

Great people to guide with, very knowledgeable

Cody & Tanner were the best guides! Both had knowledge about the history of Big Bend along with current events. The float was very comfortable and it was nice to meet new friends! 10/10 recommend!

Fun and beautiful float trip in kayaks. Canyon portions and mountain views were amazing. It's worth a day trip to see the area from a kayak!

I went on the full day canoe trip on April 13, 2026. We had two guides with us. I want to specifically commend Mr. Tanner Lancaster. . I nevenevet

Wonderful and relaxing float/paddle experience. Safe, well organized and guide was knowledgeable about wildlife seen during the trip.

Ernesto and George were terrific! Scenery was spectacular and this was such a peaceful experience. Being on the water to escape the heat is recommended! Great experience.

The team of Charlie, Lindsey & Johnny did a great job. We enjoyed a very warm, but lovely float down the Rio Grande w/ awesome, neat sights and enjoyed a soak in the natural hot springs. Our guide's knowledge of the park and surrounding area was also very helpful on the ride to and from the float......well done!🙂

Coby and Dana were awesome. Great trip. There was also another young lady guide on the trip who was very helpful when i flipped over. Never cauyher name

The staff and equipment were great. I would recommend this to a solo traveler since they have both dual and solo kayaks. The hot springs stop was very nice. The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would have given 5 stars but I think the group should have been divided into 2 heats - fast and slow group. I would have enjoyed more time to just kind of float, but because I’m slow, I was paddling the whole time to keep up with the group and not able to enjoy the views as much as I would have liked. I think we finished early too. I just felt kind of rushed to keep up with the younger and fitter folks.

We had a great day of kayaking down 6 miles of the Rio Grande. George, our guide, did a wonderful job talking about the history of the park and the flora and fauna on the drive to and from our launch point and exit point. I highly recommend doing this if you visit Big Bend!

Big Bend Hiking runs a great operation from start to finish. The area is beautiful, the guides did a great job of keeping us informed and educated through the whole experience, from the van ride out to the put in, all the way through the time on the river and ride back to Terlingua. I highly recommend using their services and recommend getting in the water in this area to see the canyons up close.
