We loved this trip! Our guide(Joey from Cal) was fantastic. Very knowledgable, solid and totally unfazed by anything, he took my husband, young daughter and I on a fantastic trip. He had total command of our raft and as this was our first white-water rafting trip with our young daughter, safety was key. But it was still extremely exciting and the pictures we got after(different company – monopolistic pricing) were fantastic. From the meeting point to the end, all the guides were fun yet focused on safety and helpful The lunch was actually great(shockingly so). We did the all day trip and it was fantastic. We especially loved the beach landing and hiking upriver to float(very fast and it was a bit scary) down. Because our child was younger, our guide went with us several times and it was really fantastic service. Highly recommend!!!

Rafted the racecourse, had a great time. Had a little picnic and had time for a swim, all during the trip.

SO. MUCH. FUN! Everything was just great ~ this was the first time that my kids have been white water rafting, and now they’re hooked. Our guide, Brit, was delightful! He was interesting, informative and an excellent instructor. His love and respect for the river, and his job, shows. Nor did we expect the nice little picnic he provided for us at the end of the trip. Pilar is a beautiful part of New Mexico, and the point-of-view from the Rio Grande is stunning. Can’t wait to go again! Great job overall!

Took the Taos Box trip Monday June 16th — it was fantastic. Britt and Neal our guides did a great job all day long. They both knew so much about the trip — plants, rocks and wildlife and shared it and so much more. We saw big horn sheep, cool rock formations, good water conditions and had a fantastic lunch!!! Wear a long sleeve tech shirt to stay warmer and keep the sun off you, lip balm and sunscreen. We had a slight delay in starting because a party of 10 had to drive an extra hour and a half to get to the visitors center due to a road closure for a semi truck accident(thank you Nigel and troop). The rapids were very wild and exciting. Though I have to say the craziest thing was swimming the last 200 yards to the takeout spot in the very cold river water. A wonderful day and highly recommend New Wave Rafting to anyone thinking about white water rafting. Steve and Kathy do a great job and their t-shirt is a winner too!

Wow! Just went on a great trip down the race course! Such an amazing day it’s hard to put it into words. Our guide, Orlando was such an amazing person to share the experience with. You can tell that his love for the river and area is similar to a fat kids love for chocolate cake, replacing knowledge of ingredients with history and geology of the area, we could not of asked for a better guide. Thanks so much, Orlando! Looking so forward to getting to do this again! Hope it is sooner than later…

I have to admit that the phrases«whitewater», «lifejacket», and«wear something you can get wet» don’t necessarily exude confidence and ease my fear of deep water– I was super scared to go on this trip. I ended up having the most amazing time. Our guides, Ron & Joe, were aces at the job and made the trip very fun. Good crew, good times, great adventure– we will definitely be going back to do the Taos Box with New Wave next season!

Been rafting with New Wave just about every year for the last 10 years or so. Solid business. I love their new equipment. They have their stuff together. Really fun times. Great for kids(over age 13 I think?). Super easy to get to the put in. Thanks New Wave! See you soon!

We went in July 2010 and had a fantastic trip. The whole idea was pretty last minute and the manager was enthusiastic about fitting us in. Or guide, Orlando, was knowledgeable and interesting. He gave us great tips on rafting, as well as historical information about the area. We even got to jump out and float down the river for a bit. Afterwards we were provided with a soda and munchie snack. Orlando also gave us great advice on neat local places to check out. This portion of the river is great for beginners and this outfitter is one I would certainly recommend to others.
