Frequently Asked Questions
About Texas Whitewater Rafting.

Who can go on a whitewater rafting trip?
We welcome enthusiasts of all ages who are in reasonable physical condition.

Minimum age requirements vary by river and season. Springtime trips may require increased minimum age requirements, as the level of difficulty increases.

Each participant should be able to swim. If you or a member of your group are pregnant or have special health or physical considerations, please call our office and consult a physician for recommendations.

A parent or guardian must give permission for an unaccompanied minor (aged 17 years or younger) to participate in all Whitewater Rafting river trips.

Which river trip is best for us?
Each river we raft is unique. Beginners and adventurers alike may find what they are looking for on one of the many rivers available through Thrill Planet White Water Rafting Trips. Texas Rafting specialists are experts at matching individuals and groups to the appropriate river.

What do the different river ratings mean?
Whitewater rafting rivers are rated on difficulty scale of Class I (flatwater) to Class VI (unrunnable).

When should I make a reservation?
Certain days during the season sell-out quickly, so we encourage calling Texas Rafting as early as possible to check availability. While reservations are required in advance to participate on a rafting trip, we are always busy taking "last-minute reservations".

How do I make a reservation?
You can reserve your white water rafting trip with one easy phone call by calling Texas Rafting at 1-800-516-5867.

How many people fit in a boat?
Most rafts can comfortably accommodate up to 7 guests plus their guide. However, some rivers require the use of smaller boats that can negotiate the tighter chutes and rapids typical of Class IV & V rafting. If you have a group that is interested in rafting, Texas Rafting specialists will make every effort to accommodate you, and customize your rafting trip.

Can I reserve my own boat?
Yes! We can usually accommodate special requests if you discuss it with our rafting specialists in advance.
