But there was a heavy rain two days before our trip so we were very lucky to be able to do this. The booking is very easy, receptionist always returns your call. And our tour guy is so funny and kept us entertained all day. We didn't have to do anything just sit back and enjoy the view, he does all the work for us. There are small rapids but nothing would rock the boat. Highly recommend this route since you are cruising through international river and one side is Mexico one side of the canyon is America. It's just amazing to see the canyon from the water and with changing scenery throughout the whole trip.

The float was a hoot, and the scenery incredible. We did a half-day trip, but we felt that the time just flew by. Next time we'll do a whole-day trip for sure. They also gave great recommendations on food and other trips in the Terlingua/Big Bend area. This is a well-run operation, and everything went smoothly. We give our strongest possible recommendations! Don't miss this adventure!

Misleading property description... I sent this message to the owner whole we were on his property…read more He never responded. We are working with VRBO to get this resolved. Hi Curt. We have checked out and left the place better than we found it. We swept up about 4 pounds of hair and dust. We could not contend with the mouse infestation, cleaning up several dead mice, and lots of droppings, despite keeping our food in storage. Maggie, the burro, is a sweet girl but she limited what we could do on the property. She wouldn't move when we needed her to and she wouldn't let us out of the house. The vrbo description led us to believe it would be very private with a hot tub. We felt like we were eye to eye with our neighbors. We are relocating to another property and that is costing us additional funds that we did not intend to spend. We'd like a refund for the 2 nights that we will not be staying on the property. Thank you

Shower head repaired with duct tape and kitchen tap also in need of repair. Shelf under the TV has not been cleaned in ??? $75 cleaning fee Seriously The Donkey cute friendly but do not feed her. She gave the front door a head butt I was in the shower and my wife was left to deal a large animal trying to enter our cabin.The rest of our stay we used the dead bolt BTW a good GPS will find this cabin Curt gave me directions from Fort Stockton over the phone.

Visiting the hot springs is a must on every visit for me. So relaxing and peaceful even with others around. I would say that I am a novice hiker and hiking through Big Bend is quite easy though I have faced some challenges. Be sure to wear proper shoes and clothing. So very thankful that we are still able to have this national park as it is now. The trails, views, landscaping, all of it...simply breathtaking. I have found park rangers to be extremely helpful and friendly. Can't wait to get back again.

The dessert was beautiful and the park as a whole was very well taken care of! Old Mine Trail: Since we went around "Spring Break", the parking lot was very busy and spaces were limited. I would recommend downloading the "All Trails" app to gauge how busy the trails are. By 7:30, all the spots in the small parking lot were already taken. The trail itself was very well managed. Although the parking lot was busy, the trail was not bad! We were pretty spaced out between hikers! Take lots of water and snacks! The views up top are spectacular. Star Gazing: We were at Sotol Vista (for panoramic stars). The stars were especially beautiful inside the park because there was no light pollution (aside from the headlights from passing cars down below us).

John was our guide down the river and we had so much fun! We stopped by the hot springs for a swim before eating lunch. Then John took us on a short walk to see the remains of an old resort and hieroglyphics on the walls of the cliffs. Our trip then continued down the river through a series of rapids and into the canyons. John was great at pointing out wildlife and other points of interest along the way. We also enjoyed seeing the horses that come up on the side of the river that borders Mexico. If you have more than one day to spend in Big Bend, I highly recommend taking a trip down the Rio Grande with Big Bend River Tours. If you are lucky enough to get John for your tour guide, then you are guaranteed to have a great float!
