Couple kayaking on The Woodlands Waterway in The Woodlands, Texas

A family of four paddles a swan boat down The Woodlands Waterway. The parents (a white couple with blond hair and blue lifejackets) are sitting in the front of the boat. Two daughters (around 6-8 years old, wearing bright red-orange lifejackets) are standing in the back of the boat, leaning in over their parents' shoulders. Behind them are lush green trees and modern office buildings with windows reflecting the bright blue sky.

 
RESERVATIONS & PRICING

Riva Row is open for walk-in rentals but encourages reservations to ensure equipment availability. All prices are for the first hour. For an additional $10 per hour, customers on kayaks or paddleboards may add up to two additional hours. Customers on swans may add up to one additional hour. Additional hours must be reserved as they cannot be extended while on the water. Life jackets are provided with all rentals.

Insider Tip: If you want to bring your furry friend along, dogs are allowed to ride in kayaks for no additional fee. Tandem kayaks are recommended if your dog cannot comfortably sit in your lap.
