The guides here are consistently exceptional, and that seems to be the real magic behind these Trinity River trips. Pete brings 26 years of experience, Grace makes you feel like family by trip's end, and Hailey ensures everyone gets the full experience with rock jumps and swimming opportunities. Reviewers call out Wiley, Kevin, Raven, Ethan, Roe, Will, and Teamo by name—all praised for being knowledgeable, safety-focused, and genuinely fun to spend a day with on the water. Families love this outfit, whether bringing first-timers or experienced rafters. The full-day trips include riverside hikes, homemade lunches (that salsa gets special mention), and plenty of chances to swim and jump off rocks between rapids. Class 2-3 trips strike that sweet spot of exciting without feeling dangerous, though they offer harder runs too. The photo packages capture action shots that moms especially appreciate. Even late-season bookings work out well thanks to their private launch site, and the multi-day overnight trips earn just as much enthusiasm as the half-day adventures.
At the tail end of the rafting season, you never know what you’re going to get (low water closure, not enough people to go out, etc), but we knew this was worth a try. I’m so happy we booked this rafting trip! Pete is a guide extraordinaire using his 26 years guiding experience to give guests a safe, fun, and exciting adventure. Pete suited us up for the autumn cold weather and had us right out at his private launch site. Easy peasy. Full day on the Trinity River with a little hike, delicious lunch, wildlife, and plenty of whitewater action. Whether you’re an experienced rafter (like my husband) or this is your first trip (like me), it’s packed with a good time on the river. Thanks, Pete! Until we meet again.
