Whitewater Rafting
Tours in Texas.

Far Flung Outdoor Center has guided multi-day and day river float trips on the Rio Grande through Big Bend's legendary canyon corridors since 1975, operating from Terlingua, Texas — the remote desert outpost at the edge of Big Bend National Park that serves as the basecamp for one of America's most extraordinary river journeys. The Rio Grande's Santa Elena Canyon drops into a slot barely 30 feet wide at the water's edge, flanked by 1,500-foot limestone walls that tower over Class III rapids and still green pools, while Mariscal Canyon to the east offers an equally dramatic multi-day wilderness float entirely within park boundaries. Far Flung also runs jeep and overland touring throughout the Big Bend region — traversing the Chihuahuan Desert's volcanic rock formations, ghost ranches, and backcountry roads that see only a handful of visitors per year. The surrounding landscape is among the most geologically and biologically diverse in the National Park System, encompassing desert scrub, riparian woodland, hot springs, and sky island mountains all within a single watershed.

Rockin' R River Rides is one of the most established outfitters on the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels, Texas — the heart of the Texas Hill Country river float corridor that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each summer to its cold, spring-fed waters. The Guadalupe emerges from the Edwards Aquifer at a near-constant 68 degrees year-round, making it a natural cooling escape during the blistering Texas summers, with mild Class I–II rapids and long lazy stretches ideal for tube floats and family paddling. Rockin' R operates guided tubing, kayaking, and river float trip rentals along a stretch of river flanked by limestone bluffs, cypress trees draped over the banks, and natural swimming holes that have anchored Texas river culture for generations. The New Braunfels corridor is the most popular inland river float destination in Texas, and Rockin' R's proximity to Canyon Lake and the Comal River — the shortest river in the state, fed entirely by Comal Springs — puts guests at the center of the Hill Country's most iconic water recreation.
