Our latest Testimonial:
Hi Steve,
I wish to send out my gratitude to you and your staff. Not only was BEN the best river guide for our family he was FUN
We had a wonderful morning on the river, on July 25 2012, with Ben showing the children some huge frogs and explaining other river life. The boys really thought he was silly, that's hard to please 3 boys from ages 6-12 but Ben held his own and was a favorite for the trip. his name even made it into a postcard to grandma and hopefully on our screen saver once we decide which photo to purchase.
Also, the lunch was so far my expectations on the river. We expected premade sandwiches but NO WAY. Ben got all these cool tools and tables and made a spread any creating company would be proud to feature on their outdoor selections. Only wish we had a camera to show everyone the great spread we were given to prepare tasty lunches. Our tummies were filled to the top for the last leg of our tour with Ben.. Thanks again for all you and your staff did to create a wonderful memory for our family.
Thanks
Susie & Paul Baringer
with Sebastian, Bryce and Pierce
Our Rivers
“Wild and Scenic” describes the Rio Grande and Rio Chama of northern New Mexico, the sites of the best of New Mexico Rafting, and is the designation conferred on these two magnificent rivers by the U.S. Congress. The Rio Grande thunders in the depths of a precipitous gorge, with wild rapids boxed in by sheer cliffs, while the Rio Chama flows sedately through a canyon of multi-hued sandstone and stands of tall Ponderosa pine. To protect these rivers, use is limited.
Our Season
 New Wave's New Mexico rafting summer starts with the first rush of snowmelt water, in April. This is the beginning of the white knuckles boating season, with big waves, fast water and lots of action, lasting usually through mid-summer. Air and water temperatures, initially cool, warm rapidly, with summer heat arriving by late May. Declining water levels in mid-summer usher in our more playful sporting season, where we weave our smaller rafts and funyaks in and out of the boulders that, only a few weeks before, made big waves. Swimming, raft surfing and other antics make this time of year the most fun for families
