My wife and I would like to go on a rafting excursion in Big Bend NP in April, 2018. Was wondering if anyone on UHH has done likewise and which outfitter they would recommend. We would be taking a 1/2 or 1 day excursion. Would appreciate any feedback.
Have always gotten good advice from UHH'ers, co I hoping someone has personal experience in this regard.
Thanks.

Hi, I did Big Bend and stayed in Terlingua last Sept.
I used Bigbendrivertours.com
The river was high so we did a half day trip down the Dark Canyon in the State Park. I think its the all day tour that goes through
Santa Elena Canyon in the National Park.
If the water is too low they use a canoe.
I thought what I did was ok. Really liked the first hour or so but then it just started to get boring, all you see is cane weed after the first half.
Bottom line I didn't think it was worth what I paid for it.
I loved Big Bend though, great trails to hike and scenery to shoot. The town of Terlingua is pretty interesting it was a mining town for mercury out of
zanzibar rock. Now its laid back and has a kind of live and let live enjoy life vibe to it.
I highly recommend the Don's BBQ it is excellent.
