We did the full day canoe tour with Big Bend River Tours from Terlingua, Tx. The Rio Grande is very low, they discouraged us from taking the Santa Elena Canyon tour and no rafting. Not sure where we entered, stopped for lunch at the Hot Springs at Langford area and exited river at Rio Grande Village area. Views not as... More

Having never canoed anyplace other than Disneyland, I knew not what to expect. Our guide, John, was a very gracious host and canoeing guide. From start to finish he showed us everything. Taught us how to properly use the canoe, oars and such and how to navigate down the river. He let us explore on our own at times when... More

We did a full day tour with Big Bend River Tours from Terlingua, Tx. Currently the river is very low and they are not boating through the Santa Elena Canyon which is beautiful. Instead we put in near Rio Grande Village and floated the Hot Springs route. As I said, the river is quite low and we had to get... More

Amazing, relaxing day. John and all of the guides were pleasant and helpful. We've kayaked on our own a lot and this was a real treat. We've always wanted to do the Rio Grande but this made it so easy and enjoyable. Worth every penny. Would like to do a longer trip. This is a must do if you come... More

If you aren't confident enough (or foolhardy enough) to brave the Rio Grande on you own, Big Bend River Tours provides excellent guides that get you out on the water safely and provides reliable transport and tasty snacks. Be sure to check the water levels before going out - Texas is in a drought! - but definitely I recommend this... More

We took a 4 x 4 Big Bend National Park back country trip on 2/16/12. The company is great, guide Jason is excellent, and the lunch was really good. We went on dirt roads into the back county and saw wildflowers, great canyons, springs, an old ranch, and had lunch in view of an old mine. Our guide was very... More
