For many, a day riding the rapids can set a new standard for all future family gatherings. But getting to that point of squeals of delight and laughter on the water can be challenging.
Providing this memory-building opportunity can ‘feel’ like an uphill battle…
- Planning a family reunion can seem like it takes more time and effort than it’s worth. Days (or even weeks) of planning for a few hours of quality time together. Finding the right venue, all the tables and chairs, setup and take-down, and high stress. It doesn’t leave much time to enjoy this quality time with your family.
- Organizing a group activity all ages will enjoy can seem impossible; where do you begin?!?
- Handling the various needs of older and younger participants requires extra planning and consideration
- Everyone wants to feel comfortable and assured that they are in safe, capable, and qualified hands with guides that are respectful and responsible
- Logistics of travel and anticipating supplies requires extra planning
- Finding a trusted company to lead your family reunion activities in Santa Fe, Albuquerque or Taos can be daunting.
Challenging? Yes.
Impossible? NOT A CHANCE!
Let us show you how it’s done…
Once you decide that a river rafting will be the perfect family activity for your reunion…the next thing you need to consider is which company you’ll trust to lead you on this adventure.
You want assurance that the company you select is equipped to handle your group (no matter their size, or their specific needs), without sacrificing quality or exposing you to greater liability.
With so many factors to consider, price alone can be a misleading comparison.

Here are some things you should consider before selecting any rafting company.
You should expect…
- State-of-the-art equipment to ensure safety; old faded life jackets speak volumes about the company’s approach to raft and vehicle maintenance.
- Durable whitewater helmets for everyone on whitewater; “high water” or “low water” is no excuse to skimp on safety equipment.
- Guides that are knowledgeable, trained to the highest standards and equipped to handle lots of people, with various needs.
- Flexibility to customize your trip to meet your family’s specific needs.
- A flexible cancellation policy. We understand life happens; people get sick, family members decide to opt out, or summer vacation plans conflict with your well-planned adventure, that’s why we provide you with a transparent, up front, easy to understand, no fine print, cancellation policy. We also won’t lock you into a contract months in advance, penalize you for last-minute cancellations, or prohibit you from making substitutions on your trip.
