2 Hour Rafting on the Yellowstone River

Brandon is a great guide. All the crew was fun and funny and focused on our safety. Tom the owner has great employees conscientious and responsible. Great company and experience. I definitely recommend them.

Was a great ride and saw a lot of wildlife long the way Our guide was great with everyone including the kids. Would book with the company again

Fun time with my grandson. The whole crew was excellent and highly recommended it. Thank you Nico for guiding us safely through the rapids.

Of the several adventure companies in Gardiner, Wild West Rafting stands out for their professionalism and friendly service. We did a 2-hour rafting trip, as well as a 1hr horseback ride, and both were great, though very different. The office was also very accommodating in rescheduling us last minute when I realize I had made a mistake with our scheduling. The rafting trip was adventurous but calm enough for our multi-general family ranging from a 7-year old to a 75-year old. The guides were hilarious and kept the experience fun and light-hearted. The rapids are definitely manageable for all-ages, and some of our more adventurous members even wanted more. The provided booties and life jackets were great, though helmets were not offered (or needed). There was an opportunity to jump in the river and swim as well. The horseback riding trip was subcontracted by Hells A'Roarin' Outfitters. It requires an off-road uphill drive, so best to have a four-wheel drive to get up those rocky roads. The wranglers who helped us were no-nonsense and to the point. I can appreciate the life up there is not as customer-service oriented as at the main office down in town, though at times we felt like we might get in trouble for speaking loudly or at all. Our horseback ride was peaceful...though silent. There wasn't any explanation of what we were seeing and the many times the wranglers told us to "not yell or scream" made us hesitant to talk to each other since that would require raised voices. The view was beautiful, and there were three wranglers for our group of 12-14 to keep the horses in line.

First off, the customer service was great: we needed to reschedule twice (once the day of, because I got stuck at the West Yellowstone entrance for over an hour and a half) and they were very nice and understanding, and were able to reschedule our trips to the desired time. The advertised two hours, are actually the time you spend ON THE WATER, after they give you instructions, water shoes and life vests. All the guides are friendly and funny. Our guide, JOE, was great and made us feel very safe. On that note,there were a couple really young kids on one of the rafts and they were safe and had fun.

This trip was our first rafting experience and we had a great time! We had a very friendly and funny guide named Bodie that made our trip very enjoyable! Thanks for being so organized, on time, and leaving us with some great pictures at the end of the trip!

Our rafting trip with Wild West White Water Rafting was the perfect adventure for a hot afternoon. The rapids were exciting, the views were incredible, and we even saw wildlife along the river. Emerson was a fantastic guide who was knowledgeable, engaging, and kept us laughing throughout the trip. This is a great activity for families, couples, and anyone looking for a fun outdoor adventure.

We did the trip w/ Niko…on vacation to celebrate my son’s 8th grade graduation. It was our first day and first activity of the trip and I’m already sure it will be the highlight. My son was the youngest of our raft and got to ‘ride the bull.’ It’s been years since my family went water rafting and Niko made us all feel comfortable. Most of the group even jumped in and coasted in the water towards end of trip. Splurge and get the pics…so memorable ~ could not recommend this tour enough!

We had a great time on the river with Wild West Whitewater Rafting, and we especially enjoyed our guide, Spencer! He was knowledgeable about the area and made our experience fun! Our kids (10, 13, 14) would say this was their favorite part about our week to Yellowstone and the Tetons.

Every guide and employee we encountered was super friendly and personable. They made the trip even more fun with their jokes and positive vibes. We loved having Spencer as our guide and the kids did too. 10/10 recommend. We would love to come back!
