I cannot recommend this enough, and I cannot say enough positive things about the guide who showed us the area. It was an amazing experience. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and tailored the experience to our interests. He had to improvise when recent rain made the trail impassible, and he provided a tour that was the highlight of our trip to Big Bend.
Every interaction I had with staff made me feel welcome. I suggest you ask for their personal opinions about what is best to see during the rest of your time in Big Bend based on your interests. Our guide shared his wisdom about the area freely, and it improved our plans.
Keep in mind that this is an off road adventure that is impacted by nature so be flexible and embrace the unpredictability. Be aware that the terrain can be rough and the summer sun is brutal in this area of Texas. As with any outdoor activity in this climate you must start hydrated, stay hydrated, and dress to protect against the sun.
They provide ice water throughout the tour for refilling water bottles (bring your own bottle) and there are clean bathrooms at the starting/ending point. There is also a small shop that sells supplies and coffee.
We found big bend by googling. They were convenient to the park. They were well kept. The outside was nice and had good locks vegetation. It was a great place. The canyon coffee gave a good place to start the morning.
We have stayed here several times. Our most recent 2 night stay was excellent as usual. Cabins are clean and very well maintained. Casitas have plenty of space and the beds are quite comfortable. All of the plants on the property are identified and birds and wildlife wander through the property. Coffee and a quick breakfast are available adjacent to the office.
My son and I went honor kayak ride with this outfit and it was wonderful. Would have been more exciting if the water was a little higher. We made the best of it and had a blast. Wish it could have been longer but the River Runs Out of Water.
LaNetta in the office was very helpful at booking us into the tour via email!
The tour was very well organised& professionally run. It was a big group but we had several guides who ran the tour well. Erica & Reed in particular gave us lots of interesting information about Big Bend & the Rio Grande.
Very enjoyable! Thanks FFOC!
My boyfriend and I did the Camp 360 Jeep Tour, which is 3 hours long. I called to make the reservation, which was super quick and easy. We did this trip on May 16 and our guide was named Chris and he was absolutely incredible. This tour doesn't actually go into Big Bend National Park. It is on private property in the area around Terlingua. I was initially worried because we had driven to Santa Elena Canyon the day before and thought that this would be a repeat of the same roads. Luckily this is a unique experience since it is on private land. What really made this tour so great though was our guide Chris. He was super friendly and answered any questions we had. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora and wildlife and also gave us a lot of interesting information about the history of Terlingua and the modern day issues and trends. Even though you don't actually go into Big Bend, the scenery and nature is pretty much the same so we really enjoyed learning about this unique area. Terlingua itself is also a very unique town, and Chris's commentary made this trip much more meaningful. We definitely came away from this trip with a much better appreciation and understanding of the region.
