Kokopelli Rafting Adventures
Since 2004, Kokopelli Rafting Adventures has redefined river travel in the Southwest. From heart-pounding whitewater to wilderness escapes, we provide expert-led journeys through New Mexico's canyons.
Our Story
For over 20 years, Kokopelli Rafting Adventures has been guiding guests through the breathtaking canyons of the Rio Grande and Rio Chama rivers in Northern New Mexico. What started as a small outfitter with a passion for whitewater has grown into the region’s most trusted rafting company.
Our guides aren’t seasonal hires. They’re river professionals who live and work in New Mexico year-round. They know every rapid, every eddy, and every hidden hot spring along the Rio Grande Gorge. That deep local knowledge translates into safer, more immersive trips for our guests.
From the family-friendly Rio Grande Float to our 3-day Rio Chama wilderness expedition, we offer adventures for every age and skill level. We’re proud of our 5.0 rating, our Swiftwater Rescue-certified guide team, and the thousands of guests who return year after year.
