🛶 Why Rafters Are Choosing Kokopelli Over Big Outfitters

If you’ve started researching rafting adventures in New Mexico, you’ve probably noticed the large, well-known companies dominating search results and bookings. But bigger isn’t always better.

At Kokopelli Rafting Adventures, we’ve seen more guests switch to a more authentic, personal, and meaningful experience—and here’s why.

🌊 1. Smaller Groups = Better Experience

Large outfitters often run trips with more people per raft, creating an assembly‑line atmosphere. With us, group sizes are intentionally kept small. You’ll never feel like a number—our guides know you by name, prioritize your safety, and tailor each adventure to your group.

Smaller boats. Bigger memories.

🧭 2. True Local Ownership

Kokopelli isn’t just operating here; we hire and train our team in New Mexico. We know these rivers inside and out—and we’re passionate about sharing them.

When you book with us, you’re supporting local business, experienced guides who call this place home year-round, and an experience rooted in genuine connection.

Local hearts. Epic adventures.

💸 3. Transparent Pricing—No Hidden Fees

Many large companies advertise “starting at” prices and then upsell you on gear, transportation, or photo packages. At Kokopelli, what you see is what you pay. Zero surprises, just great rafting.

Straightforward rates. No gimmicks.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 4. First-Time Friendly & Family Approved

Whether it’s your first time on the water or your fiftieth, our flagship trips are designed for safety and fun:

• Perfect for kids and families
• Guided by pros with decades of expertise
• Packed with scenic beauty and adrenaline—minus the overwhelm

Everyone’s welcome—every skill level.

🏞️ 5. A Truly Personalized Adventure

We don’t do cookie‑cutter. Want to stop for a swim, spot wildlife, or swing on a rope? Our small groups and attentive guides make it happen. Your trip feels like an adventure among friends, not strangers.

Custom thrills at every rapid.
