Far Flung Adventures

We did the afternoon race course rafting trip and had a ball. Andrea (?) was our guide and kept it light and enjoyable while being perfectly safe. I highly recommend this trip to anyone that is in the area.

We had a blast rafting on the race course! Rob our guide was super knowledgable and fun. I would defiantly recommend this place. We will be back soon to do the Taos box.

If you can get Steve Harris on your boat you can ask any question you want about water policy in New Mexico. The man is a legend on the Rio Grande.

My wife and I have done rafting trips with Far-​Flung over the years and really enjoyed them. My personal favorite is the whitewater trip on the Taos Box, which has class 4+ rapids and is really a blast. I’ve also done a multi-​day trip on the Chama, which is tamer but beautiful scenery and a great experience. I’ve done rafting trips all over the world and Far Flung guides do a great job, very professional and competent, friendly and engaging. I never had any worries about our safety in the big rapids. I also appreciate the fact that Far Flung has been a leader in river conservation in New Mexico.

Enjoyed a wonderful day rafting the Taos Box with these guys. We were led by ace NZ guide Brian, and he kept the day fun and engaging (and safe!) from beginning to end. Excellent on the water, great lunch, as much or as little info & conversation as you wanted. Will absolutely go rafting with Far Flung again.

We came up for the memorial day weekend and went to far flung adventures to see if they were running the box. They just had a ton of rain and they were able to book it the next day since it was high enough. We were the only ones on the trip since they had been unsure that it would be high enough. They were awesome and totally accommodating. They suited us up with wet suits and splash guards (it was cold!). Our guide was Wild Bill! He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the history, wildlife, and culture as well as being fun and a great teacher! The lunch they provided was awesome, they make their own dips which are so good as well as Wild Bill made us a potato salad from scratch on the spot– it was delicious and nutritious; definitely needed for the second part of the course which was more physically demanding. Overall I would recommend anyone going to Taos to use Far flung and try the box– it was unreal how beautiful and fun that trip was. Highly recommended!

My family and friends all love Far Flung! We’ve been rafting with them many times, on the Chama, the Arkansas, and the Rio Grande, but we keeping coming back to the Chama; a 3 day, 2 night trip down a lovely river through varied landscape — mountain/​forest, deep red/​gold canyons, high desert. The guides are wonderful: warm friendly people, very knowledgeable about the geology and wildlife, and some of them can also speak to river restoration and preservation. The food is delicious, and they take very good care of you on the river. Sometimes they bring a guest musician on a special music trip. Trips with music are magical! If _​you_​are a musician, inquire about bringing along a camping-​friendly instrument in a dry bag, to play beside the campfire. If you are interested in trying an inflatable kayak called a duckie, and going solo along beside the big rafts, try the Chama. The Chama is a great river to have a go at trying duckies for beginners, it’s safe and not too scary, but with some spicy riffles and small rapids to learn on and hold your attention. It is always nice to have at least a few duckies in a group on the Chama; someone will want to try it, and you can take turns. If you’re feeling very adventurous and looking for adrenaline rushes, the Arkansas has some wild rapids and wild scenery. But if your seeking peace and a renewed spirit, Far Flung can help you find it on the graceful Chama. My family has done a lot of rafting, several different companies, many rivers now. Far Flung is our favorite company, we love the people, we love the rivers they share.

I ran the Chama River with Far Flung. The trip was perfect: our guides knew what they were doing on the river, and gave us adventure, but kept us safe. Unlike some trips I’ve done with other companies, the timing was good– two full days, rather than a short day and an overly long day. Food was great! I have to add that the company is dedicated to river protection. So, the guides can address any questions that might arise about how the rivers are managed and what we can do to help protect them for future generations.

Great guides made this rafting experience super fun for the whole family! Christine and Richard were great guides! And, at the end of the trip we were surprised with chips, homemade salsa and watermelon. Well worth the $ 55 per person for the half day trip. :)

Loved it!!! Great Guides Great folks even made the low water fun!!!

We did a full day trip– the first half being a slow relaxing meander down the lower gorge, the second half being the racecourse. It was wonderful. The equipment was sturdy and well cared for and the guide was knowledgable.
The lunch they provided was nutrious and well planned out.
My husband is not a strong swimmer and was very nervous going into the day. He had a blast– he felt secure with the boat and life vests as well as with the obvious experience of our guide.
Highly recommended!

We were scheduled for box canyon but not enough water. pfft. however, FFA threw in some tank tops and scheduled us for a different trip on the same day! What a blast. the staff was SO nice, equipment in great shape, all was well organized, our guide (Hogan) was well spoken, educated, explained local geology and plant identification while the rafting was slow. Lunch was fresh and prepared on site by guides. Restrooms always available. Pro pics are fantastic! It doesn’t get much better than this — when in Taos, go play with Far Flung! — but bring sunscreen! ;o)

If you find yourself near Taos and have a desire to go white water rafting, Far Flung is your best bet. My party of 7 took the ½ day Pilar Race Course last Saturday and it was awesome. The rapids weren’t as fast as I would have liked but it was fun nonetheless. We were all pretty much beginners so it worked out well.
The service we received from the company was great and our boat’s guide (Travis) was awesome. Travis helped us navigate the rapids masterfully and had some pretty cool stories along the way. I would definitely recommend Far Flung and Travis to anybody and would definitely take one of their rafting trips again.
Pro Tip = wear sunscreen
