So, I've rafted the entirety of the Trinity River on a personnel level and have taken two guided trips. First in 23' with Bigfoot (it was good) and the second with Trinity Rafting. This trip, bar none, was outstanding. Now, maybe it was the guide affect? Our guide Ben gave us far more then we anticipated. I had my 20 yo daughter with me and she had a blast. Ben created a fun and relaxed atmosphere void of any tight-ass guide power trips. A full day doesn't mean a full day of class III. The class III rapids are a blast but the stops at the N. Fork, the unreal waterfall hike, jump rock and plenty of swimming opportunities are an added bonus! Enjoy! read more

We had an amazing time! My daughter and I went on a class 3 rafting trip. We went with Trinity River Rafting and it was a great experience. It was my daughter's 11th birthday, and I couldn't imagine having more fun doing something else. Our guide Glenn was awesome! He was fun and personable. He knew the river, kept us safe, and taught us what we needed to know. He brought lunch for us. He took us on a hike to a waterfall. He gave us opportunities to swim, jump off rocks and even taught my daughter how to steer the boat. We also got to witness a masterful backflip off the boat into the water by Glenn. Thanks Glenn for the EPIC trip and the great memories. If you don't use Trinity River Rafting as your guide, you're making a big mistake. read more

Family of 5: Mom, Dad and 3 daughters 7, 11 & 15 went whitewater rafting. I chose Trinity River Rafting due to their good reviews and they did not disappoint. The Pigeon Point half day was a good introduction for our family who have never done this before. There is ample parking. Check in only took a second. We hopped into the shuttle van and drove 8 miles or so upstream. Rohan was our guide and he gave us the orientation and off we went. The river was a mix of calm and wild. Our youngest enjoyed "riding the bull" up front. We also did the high jumps off the rocks. Chips and salsa were refreshing mid-trip. All in all this was a great 1st experience with white water rafting and we all enjoyed it tremendously. We will certainly be using them again next time we are in the area. read more

I would 100% recommend Bigfoot Rafting. We have Trinity Rafting a try this past weekend was very disappointed. Our guide lacked communication skills. Our whole trip was ruined because of an inconvenience and made things extra tense. The Staff disregarded when we told them we had a terrible time and could've been a lot more concerned. There was no understanding exchange with them. Our Family trips have always been excellent with Bigfoot Rafting. Very Disappointed. read more

We had the best day on the river with Trinity River Rafting! My husband and I took our four kids for their first time. We did the full day option. Our guide, Tom, was AMAZING. He led us with ease and communicated extremely well, especially with some of the intense rapids. My youngest is 8 and she handled the day like a champ. She was pushed out of her comfort zone, but it was all worth it. We all finished the day feeling like a strong team with memories forever. We will be back again soon! read more

Fantastic river trip for kinds of reasons! The river is beautiful and spectacular, clean clear water with fun rapids. The outfitter does a great job and our guide Tom was world class. Highly recommend for both beginners and seasoned rafters. read more

We were here in 2020 with a group of 8 but came back again in 2021 with a group of 25. It was a good family bonding session. Dave and Dana were so understanding, accommodating and patient with the registering process. Their Guides were superb. Glen was very informative and ensure the safety of the group, Ari was remarkable in making the kids and the adults getting out of their comfort zone. Alex, Jem and Dave always ensure that their people in the raft were safe. Thank you. I recommend you use Trinity River Rafting for your next adventure. read more

We had a great time with Trinity river rafting! Since I rode rafting only once more than 10 years ago, we took class 2 and it was relaxing and enough fun. The temperature was over 100F and river water was just perfect for dipping in and refreshed. We appreciate their friendly and customer oriented service, too. Plus+ Chip and salsa during break + Fresh wild blackberries! on the way back, don't forget to stop by Trinity County Brewery! read more

This was such a great adventure for my friends and I! Tom was an awesome guide. He made it fun and we all stayed in the raft the entire time. YAY!! I will definitely be returning for another run! read more

Our family did an all day river rafting adventure with Trinity River Rafting on July 5, 2022. Our input site was at the Baghdad Camping area. The staff was friendly and our river guide, Glenn Hoxie, was excellent. My wife and I included our 2 grandkids, ages 9 and 6 years old, and their parents. Everyone had an enjoyable time. The rapids were exciting and were not over a 3 out of 6 rating. The 6 year old enjoyed himself, though it was a little intimidating going through the rapids and getting splashed. But that's the fun of it. Our guide was very attentive and explained the history of the river, wildlife and geology. Lunch consisted of sliced turkey sandwiches that you could dress up with vegetables and toppings. Canned drinks and cookies were also provided. The adults were good paddlers, so it made our guide's job easier. That means we did not flip the boat and no one popped out. The weather was unseasonably cool for mid-July, so we passed on swimming opportunities. If it was hotter, we all would have gotten into the water. The entire rafting experience was about 6 hours. It would have been a bit longer if we had gone swimming. We saw many river turtles, birds and insects. So the boys enjoyed seeing the wildlife and also looking for colorful rocks on the shoreline during lunch. Highly recommend this rafting company and our guide, Glenn Hoxie. read more

We had so much fun with Trinity River Rafting. Our family of 5, 4 adults age range 43-73 and one 9 year old had a blast. The owners we so nice and accommodating. We had Ari as our guide.

Our guide, Justin, made navigating the river an absolute blast! I'll never forget his sense of adventure and environmental stewardship.

Took my family on a half day rafting trip and had a blast! It was the first time for most of our group and our guide made it very fun and exciting. Riley was our guide and made everyone feel safe and he shared some local knowledge about the history of the area as well as the plants and animals. Highly recommend this company. They went out of their way to my our experience amazing! read more

I have done an American River rafting trip which I really enjoyed but the Trinity River topped it. From our first interaction with Dana on the phone to our in-person experience with her and guide Amelia, everything was perfect. We felt in good hands and Amelia's instructions were really clear. (Our group of five is athletic so I am not sure other groups could be as awesome as we were, but we had our share of thrills -- "high side!" -- going over five class three rapids.) Each was unique and all were fun. We also had animal encounters! We were pursued by the Aflac duck, spotted a Mama and baby deer drinking at the river's edge and watched two otters playing. P.S. Dana makes a killer salsa read more

Best way to spend the day with family and friends. The class 3 run was suitable for all ages. Our guides were knowledgeable and helpful! We didn't lift a finger. We stopped to swim in deep swimming holes, saw birds, squires and a bear! The bear swam across the river from one side to the other. Totally awesome outdoor adventure!!! Can't say enough nice things about this mom and pop biz! We will be going back to try a class 4 run... read more

This was truly awesome. Camille and cricket were great. The rafting experience was soo great. Nature was soo beautiful. We had our riffles and our rapids. We had our times just floating and times swimming and then those jumps off the cliffs. Couldn't have asked for a better experience Mookies read more

We booked the Skunk Point Run, half day and had an amazing time. Our guide Christian was very knowledgeable. More importantly he made us feel comfortable/ safe taking this trip knowing it was our first time out on the river. He did a great job with our 7 year old son. I definitely recommend Trinity River Rafting and will be using them in the future. read more

This is a very impressive company. My niece organized for 25 of us at our family camping trip to go rafting. We are an active and busy group! They catered to all our age levels-from 6-65years old. They were entertaining the entire trip. Also provided historical facts here and there. There was never a dull moment. The lunch was incredible. The teenage raft planned attacks, jumped off rocks, and had so much fun. The river is beautiful and the guides are all well trained and interacted exactly with our group. I can't say enough good things about them. read more

Fantastic experience. We did the Class 3 with two adults and two kids (10 and 12). Fun, beautiful, exhilarating and not scary. David was an excellent guide and answered our many questions about flora and fauna. Trinity River Rafting gave us super helpful information before we booked - Katherine was great. I also truly appreciate their attention to safety and cleanliness. This is a responsibly run business. Highly recommend. read more

Our family had a great day rafting the Trinity pigeon point run on July 4.

We had a fantastic time on our rafting trip with Trinity River Rafting. Our guide Christian was awesome, super knowledgeable and kept things fun! We felt safe and well taken care of.

This was our first time water rafting. We booked the morning class II rafting tour. We got in the raft at ~10am and got back to our car at 3pm ( including 15 min van ride to drive us back). My 9year old daughter had a blast! Class II was relaxing but with some good rapids to feel adventurous. Our guide Christian was wonderful with excellent skills to maneuver the raft and so much knowledge of local history. Weather was cold (60s) with some drizzling rain. But with wet suit, we felt fine. Looking forward to coming back again to try class III in a hotter day! read more

They got us in last minute very accommodating the young gal was great I feel bad I forgot her name. My kids has a blast it really felt spontaneous and not regimented. The other company we booked with left without us claiming we never called. If your rafting on 299 choose Trinity. Hunt for the wilder people is the movie we told her about. read more

This crew is top notch! Our family of 6 adults took the half-day Pigeon Point run. From check-in to close of day we experienced nothing but professional, friendly, and welcoming service. Check-in was friendly and efficient. We were geared up and off to the drop-off spot where we received riverside safety instruction that included not only water safety, but also plants and animals to keep an eye out for on shore. Our guide Riley was fantastic! He got us paddling together as a team in no time. He was clearly knowledgeable about the river and struck the perfect balance of maintaining safety and keeping things fun and relaxed. He pointed out animals he spotted along the way as well as interesting geography and history of the area. About mid-way through our trip we stopped for a break and snack. The chips and shop-made salsa were awesome. We ate every bit and they even shared the salsa recipe when we got back to shore. If you are in the Trinity area look up this outfit for your rafting fun. If you are planning a trip, use their online scheduling system. It is a breeze! Last but not least, after your trip be sure to swing by Serendipity Photo (a separate business) and grab a cool picture of your adventure. They capture great shots! read more

This company was amazing the people are very friendly and love chatting and giving recommendations for the area. Our rafting guide Christian taught us so much as we were going down river and was an overall pleasure to talk to. He took amazing videos of us on his go pro jumping off the jump rocks on river and going through rapids. Rafting guide Riley who we met on shore after we were done with our half day trip was also so nice and great to talk to. I would recommend this company to anyone who is in the area and wants to experience the mountains and river from a different perspective. I'm sure based on experience all their rafting guides there will make your trip worth it. read more
