Sunset Kayak Tours
If you're visiting for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, and looking for a great way to relax between the morning balloon flights and the evening balloon glows, then come join us on a kayaking trip on the Rio Grande. The changing Fall colors of the Rio Grande Bosque (Spanish for forest) from green, to gold is typically in full swing, the wildlife and migrating waterfowl is abundant and you'll experience the watermelon hue of the sun setting on the Sandia Mountains, thus giving them its namesake.
Our beginner-friendly kayak tours are great for out of town guest, including pilots and crew members!
A typical afternoon tour meets a 1pm and wraps by 6pm.

Kelly has a way of transferring his passion for kayaking to everyone who attends a talk, lesson or paddles with him. A very patient and conscientious instructor, I always feel safe during lessons on and off the river. Not only does Kelly teach the sport, he finds ways to help you find your niche and meet others who share the same interest. In addition, the other instructors he brings along are equally as knowledgeable and helpful. If you haven't tried kayaking or want to hone your skills, this is a great place to start.
I took a roll class from Kelly. I have had some previous instruction in rolling and in boat handling techniques, but I learned more from Kelly in three hours in the pool than I did in a two day course from another instructor. I am very close to being able to roll after only one class. I'm sure with another class I'll be able to roll quite well. Kelly has a unique capability to explain how to roll, and has the patience to work with people who are having difficulty learning. He is a great teacher!
