One Day Santa Elena Canyon Canoe "Boomerang" Adventure:
This trip is only offered during low water periods. The put in point is at the "mouth" of Santa Elena Canyon. No canoe experience is necessary but paddling is mandatory. The ability to assist in carrying canoes and gear is very helpful, and a spirit of adventure is a must. If you've never paddled before, your guide will explain the strokes to you before the trip.
Check in at our office in Terlingua at 8:00A.M. and meet your guide for the day. Please wear tennis shoes and clothes that you don't mind getting wet or muddy, and bring a personal canteen or water bottle to carry with you in your canoe. You will also need sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat! We can provide dry bags or waterproof ammo cans for cameras, please let us know if you need one. Arrangements can be made to meet you at the put in if you are staying in the park.
Once at the put in, with two to a canoe (or three if you have a small child) you will be paddling upstream into Santa Elena Canyon where the walls reach skyward 1500 feet. Our destination is Mexico and a hike into a beautiful side canyon. Fern Canyon is a delightful surprise with it's picturesque fern draped, water sculpted rock walls.
After the optional hike in Fern you will enjoy a full deli style lunch prepared riverside by your guide.
The return trip downstream to your starting point is more leisurely as you go with the flow and enjoy the spectacular beauty of the canyon walls and the songs of the canyon wren.
After loading gear and canoes we head back to our office, thus ends your adventure for the day.
Two Day Santa Elena Canyon "Boomerang" Adventure:
For those of you wishing to enjoy the experience of a longer trip, we also offer our "boomerang" trip as an overnight or three day adventure giving you more time for relaxation, exploration of the canyon, star gazing, hiking, and an incredible, night time outdoor dining event. You have the time to go swimming in Fern Canyon while you enjoy the beauty of Santa Elena Canyon. You have more time to paddle farther into the canyon on these longer trips, time explore other side canyons, or just kick back and take in the sights and sounds of the river and the spectacular views of the star filled sky at night.
All overnight or multi day trips depart from our office in Terlingua at 8:30 a.m. and they have a scheduled take out time on day two or three between 3 and 4 p.m. This will allow you to return in time to enjoy some local nightlife at the local watering holes in Terlingua.
All meals, from lunch the first day to lunch the last day are included. Our guides are all wonderful "chefs". We offer wine with dinner each evening but you are welcome to bring your own "drink of choice" in a small cooler.
