We can design any trip you want. These are a few we have in the works now:

In and around Houston:

Group Trips on Buffalo Bayou- This amazing corridor of unexpected sub-tropical beauty and wildlife is nestled right within the city limits of Houston.
Buffalo Bayou
Houston's hidden treasure
Get a group together to go on our city escape floating down Buffalo Bayou through the heart of the metropolis. Float at your own pace and learn more about Houston's most natural asset. We will share with you the history behind our great city and its progress around this unique waterway.
Trip size: 8-12 people
Cost: TBD
Including canoe rental, refreshments, and guides, these trips are tailored to your group's needs. Prices depend on the size of the group and activities planned.

Colorado River - Find your own private island for the weekend:
Don Greene was instrumental in developing the Colorado River Trail for the Lower Colorado Rivery Authority in the late '80s. Texas' longest river has unique geography and habitats waiting to be experienced by "river children" of all ages. Group trips for segments between Austin and the coast are available for the day, weekend, or week. Camping trips include all gear and gourmet meals (no freeze-dried stuff here).

Brazos River - Easy, quick escape from the city:
In about an hour and a half, you can be in the water, floating down a river with clay canyons, the river in John Graves' Good-bye to a River.

 Canoe Birthday, Engagement, or "just because" Parties:
Have a canoe party and make your prince or princess feel special! We provide the whole package: canoes, personal floatation devices, paddles, balloons, games, favors, and ideas. Call 713-774-1028 for rates. You can do it yourself with our suggestions and equipment or hire guides/cooks for the deluxe treatment.

Big Bend:
Experience the beauty of Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande.
Santa Elena Canyon
Santa Elena Canyon
Discover the majestic beauty of these captivating, historic rivers and learn about the delicate balance of the Rio Grande's desert ecology. Along the way, learn canoeing or rafting skills and make new friends on a trip that you will never forget. A highlight of the Santa Elena raft trip is the 7-mile ride through Santa Elena Canyon- a natural wonder with 1400-foot walls carved out by the river. Guides familiar with National Park Service policy and knowledgable about the flora, fauna, and history of the region escort this trip. Delicious, plentiful food is served. Learn Dutch oven cooking if you wish. Ample opportunities for photography, swimming, splashing, nature study, side hikes, fun and relaxation are available.
  • Trip size: 10-12 people (or special request)
  • Cost: Please call or email us for prices
    (all equipment, guides, and food on the river) + park entry fees and vanpool transportation.
  • NOTE: Water levels will dictate which canyon will be run. At the pre-trip meeting there will be information on forming carpools. After pre-trip meeting, there are no refunds or credits.

Armand Bayou- Visit the only undeveloped saltwater estuary along the Gulf Coast. Bird life and aquatic wildlife are in abundance here where the sea meets the land. Armand Bayou is exceptional for testing and trying out your canoe and kayak skills and enjoying a picnic outing.
