There are times when a One Day Canyon float just will not fit into the travel schedule. If that happens, consider our very popular "get acquainted with Big Bend" half-day float trip.
Enjoy Far Flung's four hour adventure tour on the Rio Grande and still have time in the day for other activities! For example, many of our summer guests take a morning float and are back by lunch to avoid the afternoon heat. Or like our spring and winter guests, they sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast and enjoy the half-day float during the warmest part of the day.
For those with younger children (under 8), our half-day adventure is just right - not too long, not too short and our guides will entrall them with stories of the wild outdoors!
