Inflatable Kayaking
Learn to kayak! Experiencing the Rio Grande in an inflatable kayak gives you an up close encounter with the river and the riparian habitat. Our guided trips focus on teaching fundamental kayaking techniques, the basics of river navigation, and self rescue to increase your skills and confidence. We offer kayaking trips on select weekdays and weekends. Learning with our trained professional guides will increase your safety and fun on the river!
