Rentals and Shuttles

Day Rentals and Big Bend Area Shuttles

Day Rentals

Day Rentals in the Big Bend are available on a daily basis subject to availability. All rentals are full day or 24hr rentals. As logistics and water levels are also worth discussing, we ask that you contact us to make this reservation: 575-758-2628 or email willblackstock@furtheradv.com

  • 1-day canoe: $100
  • 1-day inflatable kayak: $75
  • 1-day sit-on-top kayak: $100
  • 1-day paddle raft: $175
  • 1-day oar raft: $300

A damage deposit of $75/small craft and $150/raft will be added and returned once gear is checked in and cleared for damage.

Price includes paddles, PFDs, and a pump for inflatable rentals. If using your own vehicle you will need to have a plan to transport our gear/boats. We can provide a few straps for this if arranged in advance but not much else. Any damage incurred during transport is your responsibility.

Additional river running items available for rent if needed, please inquire.

If you would like help with your shuttle, please see below.

Shuttles

Shuttles in the Big Bend mostly all involve long distances and drive time, stretching into hundreds of miles and many hours of driving each way. We have done our best to keep things affordable, but understand that some of these remote places are hard to reach and that while Terlingua is the central hub for all these river sections it is not necessarily “close” to many of them by normal standards.

If renting our equipment, for any shuttle involving your vehicle you will need to have a plan to transport our gear/boats. We can provide a few straps for this if arranged in advance but not much else. Any damage incurred during transport is your responsibility.
