Dark-Sky Kit

Big Bend has some of the darkest skies in the lower 48. This kit makes the most of them: a tabletop reflector telescope, binoculars, a planisphere, red headlamps that save your night vision, and a couple of reclining chairs to take it all in.

Good to know.

How do day and week rates work?
Every rental lists a day rate, and most list a discounted week rate. You pick your pickup and return dates when you reserve, and we confirm availability and the total.
Is there an age requirement to rent a vehicle?
Yes. The primary driver for any 4x4 or UTV must be at least 25, with a valid license. Gear, boats, bikes, and camping kits have no age requirement beyond a responsible adult on the reservation.
Do I need a deposit?
A refundable deposit holds every vehicle and gear reservation, returned after the gear comes back in good shape. We confirm the amount when you book.
What if the weather turns or I need to cancel?
You get a full refund for cancellations up to seven days before pickup. If the river or the roads close for safety, we will rebook you or refund you, every time.
