How experienced is Far-Flung Adventures?
Far-Flung Adventures has been running the Rio Grande in 1976 and have been in operation year around somewhere, running the river, in New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Arizona, and Mexico ever since. Of course, it is the guides that make the trip and we have some of the best. Our guides are career professionals: friendly, concerned with your comfort and safety and knowledgeable about local history, natural history and the geography of the areas we travel through. The average professional experience of the Far-Flung guide is 8-10 years on the river. Several of our staff have been guiding 15 years and a few old timers have been guiding for 20 years. It is this experience that teaches our newer and younger staff the ways of the river. All Far-Flung River Guides are qualified and certified. All guides have current 1st aid training; many are EMT’s. All trip leaders (and almost all guides at Far-Flung are trip leaders) are certified Swiftwater Rescue Technicians.
