    We had a great time rafting with Los Rios River Runners. We were on a raft with Josh who did an excellent job making the trip fun. The water level was a bit low, so there wasn't a lot of traditional whitewater, but that actually made for a different kind of rafting experience. It involved a lot of technical maneuvering around rocks and obstacles, which was enjoyable in its own way. It was great to be out there on the water overall. All of the guides were professional, skilled, and clearly knew what they were doing. The entire operation was well organized from start to finish. You can book with confidence.

    Wow! What a wonderful experience. On May 29th we met Los Rios staff Ocean (guide) and Matthew (assistant) for a Rio Grande float and overnight camping trip. There was a total of 3 adults and 4 kids. Ocean and Matthew could not had been any better. Setting up the camp site, tents, and cooking a wonderful dinner Friday night (with S’mores) and Saturday breakfast, and lunch. We floated a total of 11 miles down the Rio Grande. Ocean and Matthew were great with the kids and the kids enjoyed them. Use Los Rios for any rafting trip day or camping. Ask for Ocean and Matthew.They are Awesome!!

    We had the best time with Los Rios River Runners. All the staff was so friendly. Our guide Zach was phenomenal! We had a nervous 7 year old, he made her feel at ease. So much fun on the Rio Grande. Perfect mix of thrill and relaxation. Can't wait to go back and hang out with Zach again!
