Santa Fe, New Mexico's River Trips Different include half-day to multi-day wilderness expeditions on the wild and scenic Rio Grande and Rio Chama rivers. We raft and kayak sections of the Rio Grande that range from the Colorado Border south through The Taos Box, Racecourse, and Bosque. These trips vary from thrilling Class IV whitewater rapids to peaceful Class I canyon floats. Our professionally-guided tours focus on the natural and cultural history of the region, with plenty of fun and adventure mixed in. We provide everything you need for a comfortable outdoor rafting experience--whether it's a half-day or multi-day New Mexico river rafting trip.
New Mexico's Whitewater Rafting Season starts in mid-April, as ski areas close down and the snow begins to melt. This is the beginning of the "High Water" rafting season. The early season until mid-June offers the biggest excitement and whitewater features. Increasing temperatures and declining water levels as summer progresses lead to New Mexico's technical late season runs. This is a great time for families to go rafting in New Mexico and lasts through the first week of September in most years.
