ATV Tour
Terry is an excellent guide! My husband really wanted to go on an ATV tour, so I signed us up. When booking I specifically mentioned it was my first time ever on an ATV. Terry was welcoming, and gave a good safety overview. The equipment all looked really new and was in excellent condition. Terry watched and guided me on things like turning and tips for getting over uneven terrain. He spaced the group out well so hopefully the more experienced folks in front still got a good drive. My husband tailed and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I never felt unsafe, and once I got the hang of how sensitive the accelerator was, really enjoyed myself. It is a different way to explore some desert terrain.

Fabulous Far Flung...don’t miss it!
If you are looking for a GREAT and affordable place to stay in the Big Bend area, or just an outfitter for your adventures, look no further than Far Flung Outdoor Center. My husband & I and two friends just left the Big Bend Casitas after a great week-long stay. From the point of planning our trip to our checkout, every interaction we had with Far Flung was top notch! Greg, Valynda, & Caitlynn patiently answered all our questions and helped us choose the activities that best fit our party of four. The casitas are well planned, stocked, and comfortable. We actually brought more than we needed to, based on cabins we have rented elsewhere. I can’t say enough good things about their facility: the large grilling station with side burner and commercial grill (clean and much better than cooking meals inside the casitas!), shaded picnic tables, Bocce ball court, horseshoes, corn hole, fire pit, sparkling clear pool. We loved their plant identification tags! (They have thought of everything!) We were in Big Bend to ride the area on our motorcycles, but booked two adventures with Far Flung. First was a full day River Float. Zulu, our guide, was skilled, knowledgeable, and FUN. He was obviously very experienced and also good at reading, teaching, and interacting with our group. Our raft traveled with another, guided by Levee. The two guides worked well together, making for a fun trip for all of us!! Our second adventure was a 3 hour Jeep tour to the Buena Suerte mining ghost town. Randy was our knowledgable guide. Aside from educating us on the mine itself, Randy taught us about numerous plants, showing how some were used for medicinal use. One last comment (compliment). I am so impressed with the cleanliness of Far Flung! I dropped a little water on the floor when unloading the contents of our cooler into the fridge. The paper towel I used to wipe the floor was totally white after the wipe up. Y’all, this is remarkable given the dry, dusty terrain! And did I mention the T-shirt / hoodie selection?!!
