My husband and I did the one day Hot Springs tour and it was well worth it! We loved canoeing in the Rio Grande to get to the hot springs and saw so many beautiful birds and cute horses and cows alon…Full review by Kim C

We went on a half day tour in January. Very fun experience! Our guides Cowen and Hannah were very skillful and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the local history and stories. It was a workout …Full review by 994yangs

This tour was a highlight of our time in Big Bend! Cohen was a phenomenal guide, with lots of detail about the area, the wildlife and the river. The canoe trip was low stress and relaxing. Highly rec…Full review by Connie M
Our group has an 8-year-old, three 6-year-olds, and a 1-year-old. All laid back and up for adventures. Would we be able to do any of the river trips with these ages?

We had a friend who is 68 and not very mobile and BBRT planned a nice trip for us that took our friends limited mobility into account. The Hot Springs raft trip would probably be a good bet. Much depends upon the water flow in the river. Hope you have a great trip, Big Bend is wonderful.
What items do I pack for a river trip? Water shoes, water bottle, wet bag, sun block, swim suit, ??? Is pick up and drop off at the office in Terlingua?
A:
Yes to water bottle, sunscreen, water shoes (or sneakers you don’t mind getting dirty/wet). There won’t really be much of a chance to swim, or at least wasn’t on our trip; you could …
Yes to water bottle, sunscreen, water shoes (or sneakers you don’t mind getting dirty/wet). There won’t really be much of a chance to swim, or at least wasn’t on our trip; you could ask if there will be on yours. They also did have sunscreen. If you have hiking-type, quick-dry pants, they are ideal. And yes, pickup,and drop-off are at the office in Terlingua. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
Is there any 1/2 day trips down river over the next couple of weeks ? Today dates 2-28-18 Please call Terry 512-217-7456
A:
I know that they do 1/2 day tours. As I recall, they don't go through Santa Elena Canyon. If possible I would recommend taking the whole day tour through the canyon.
Can you accommodate people in their early and late 60s? Fair health, low-moderate stamina. No experience with canoes. Late March/early April this year. What, if any, day river tour would be best?
A:
I think your loved ones will do fine in either a full or half day RAFT trip. I wouldn’t suggest the canoes. We went on the full day raft trip and the water was high with a strong current. …
I think your loved ones will do fine in either a full or half day RAFT trip. I wouldn’t suggest the canoes. We went on the full day raft trip and the water was high with a strong current. It was and felt safe, sturdy and smooth. If Doug is still there, ask for him as your guide!
