The Rio Grand Float Half Day Rafting

Half-Day Rio Grande Rafting Trip - New Mexico Float Trip

If you’re looking for a relaxing trip through a beautiful Rio Grande canyon with a few mild class II rapids, the half-day Rio Grande Float is perfect for you. If you are not sure about the whole whitewater craze and want a mellow introduction to floating down the river, this is a great option. We will float past beautiful natural springs, and perhaps get a look at some wildlife.

Your guide will ensure you have a memorable and educational experience on the float trip down this beautiful Rio Grande River. There are multiple opportunities to swim in the river on warmer days. Ask about taking a paddle board or inflatable kayak down the float section. The minimum age on this trip is 3+ in most conditions.
