New Mexico Rafting Half-Day Trips

Racecourse

VIDEO & More about Rafting the Racecourse.

The Racecourse section is our most popular New Mexico rafting trip, ranging from a wild class III+ ride during the spring high-water to a more technically-demanding run as the water goes down and the rocks come up in July and August. In spring and early summer, be prepared for cold water, big waves, and plenty of excitement. As summer continues, your guide will be depending on you to help maneuver the raft through many tight slots. In addition, the water warms up and there is more opportunity for warm-water fun, such as swimming and boat surfing.

The Racecourse is a great trip for beginning whitewater enthusiasts, as well as experienced rafters looking for a quick adrenaline fix. Minimum age is seven, although Kokopelli Rafting Adventures reserves the right to raise the age limit during extremely high water. At lower flows and warmer temperatures typical of later spring and summer new mexico rafting, you will have an opportunity to swim and splash around in the river.

This trip travels five miles through a quartzite and basalt gorge near the northern new mexico town of Pilar. Site of the historic Pueblo revolt of 1854.

The Racecourse is runable all season long. The highest water is in late May or early June. Inflatable kayaks are available at lower water levels.

Price: $53* per person. Age 7-12 $42*

Rio Grande Float
If you're looking for a relaxing trip through a beautiful volcanic rock canyon with a few mild class II rapids thrown in, the half-day Rio Grande Float is for you. It is a perfect trip if you are not sure about the whole whitewater craze and want a mellow introduction to moving water. We will float past beautiful hillside springs, perhaps view ancient Indian art, look for wildlife and talk about the natural surroundings.

This trip can be done in a paddleboat or an oar-powered raft, allowing you to simply sit back, relax, and take in the sights. Minimum age on this trip is four under most conditions.

Inflatable kayaks are available at most water levels.

Price: $53* per person. Age 4-12 $42*
