6 Kayaking & Canoeing in New Mexico That You Shouldn't Miss

Los Rios River Runners is New Mexico's oldest, largest, and most experienced rafting company. We've been rafting through the spectacular river canyons of northern New Mexico since 1972. We offer trips from mild to wild, from half-day to 3-days, from the world-class white-knuckle whitewater of the Taos Box (available as a full-day adventure or as part of a multi-day overnight) to family fun adventures and serene floats. Spend starry nights in the serene Chama wilderness, or float along a mellow section of the Rio Grande with a Native Pueblo guide and a traditional feast meal awaiting you at the takeout. Sunset dinner floats too! And check out our multi-sport adventures: rock and raft, pedal and paddle, and paddle and saddle. Los Rios has more access to more stretches of river than any other NM rafting company, and offers the broadest variety of trips. Come boating with us, and take home lifetime memories.

Come rafting with New Mexico River Adventures through the Rio Grande Gorge or the exquisite Rio Chama canyon. NMRA offers everything from family floats to wild whitewater! We have top notch guides who are excited to share knowledge of New Mexico nature and history. NMRA is the only company offering private secure parking, photos right after your trip and riverside snack. Join us for a fantastic day on the river with New Mexico River Adventures!
