About this activity
The trip begins with check-in at the rafting office in Gardiner, Montana a half-hour before the scheduled rafting trip. After you get checked in, you will be offered facilities to change into wetsuits or other appropriate water gear provided. Once everyone is ready, your guides will shuttle you to the river where they will provide safety instruction.
From there, you board your raft and paddle off, with your guide giving constant instruction. You will see 8 miles of the beautiful Yellowstone River and experience Class II, III and even a Class IV depending on the time of the year. The Gallatin National Forest borders the Yellowstone to your left and you will have plenty of scenic viewing opportunity. Your guide will even let you jump in for a swim!
About 20 minutes into your trip, you can expect to be photographed by a professional photographer. As your trip draws to a close, your guides will pick you up and drive 10 minutes back to Gardiner where you can change out of your river garb, view your photos and purchase other mementos from your trip.

I would recommend this to my friends. Our guides were fun, informative, relaxed, and made the experience a joyful one. I'm not a swimmer, so I was a bit nervous of how fast or dangerous this would be, but it was perfectly safe and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
It was the perfect mix of exciting and scenic. Our guide Caleb was awesome and funny, I will definitely do it again if I'm back in the area - I highly recommend!!
This is a fun family rafting trip. We went in June so the river was moving quite fast trip took half the time allotted. Still the rapids were very manageable and our kids 10 and 15 were not at all afraid. The water was freezing so don't expect to do the swimming stop if you go in June. While the gear is not the newest and fanciest, the guides are very knowledgeable and made the trip very fun. I strongly suggest doing the whitewater version of the trip over the scenic version. The rapids are not at all scary and you still have plenty of resting time to enjoy the scenery.
We were a group of 10, with kids ranging from age 6 to 15 and five adults. Everyone had a great time! Our guide was fun and informative, and the operator seemed on top of safety and comfort. I am very sensitive to cold and thought I would be uncomfortable during the rafting trip, but I was fine. There were exciting rapids, but not anything too scary for the younger kids. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!
