Montana Whitewater Half Day Raft Trip - Yellowstone River
Description
Our Half Day Classic Raft trip begins at the northern border of Yellowstone National Park, right where the Gardiner River converges with the mighty Yellowstone River. This trip is fun for the whole family as we run Class 1-3 (water level dependent, call our office to ask about current river conditions) and take children as young as 6! Ride the waves at Bridge Waves, Man Eater, Loonie's and Boonie's Revenge, Queen of the Waters, and the KING! Take in the breathtaking view of Devil’s Slide. Float through some flat water stretches that are great for swimming and relaxing. This trip is great for first time rafters or family groups with wide age and ability ranges. This trip is 8 miles on the river, roughly 1-1.5 hours of on the water fun depending on water levels (CFS), and roughly 2.5-3 hours door-to-door. This includes gear up, gear down, and a short drive to and from the river, no more than 15 minutes total in the bus, round trip!

It was a great experience and really fun. Garrett did an excellent job explaining how we would participate in all of the safety rules.
My family (kids 11 and 8) had a blast. Garrett, our guide, was amazing and chill. The water was a little lower in August, so the waters weren't as rough, but that was good for the kids. They got to swim in the Yellowstone and sit up at the tip of the raft.
We had a great time rafting down the Yellowstone river with our raft guide Garrett. He made the trip fun, informative, and as exciting as he could make it. The speed of the river and rapids was perfect. Not too fast and not too slow. I would definitely recommend this experience to family and friends.
Brian was a terrific guide. Very informative. We had a really good group with us.
This was a lot of fun and our guide was informative and friendly. It had some mild rapids and lots of calm water. This seemed more like level 2, not level 3.
Our family really enjoyed the trip! Sienna was knowledgeable and personable. Her positive, fun attitude made everyone feel comfortable.
So beautiful, so fun! We had Robert as our guide and he was top notch! I was nervous initially as my whole world (husband& kids) were on this ride, but Robert was such a good guide we never felt unsafe and enjoyed the whole experience. So worth it for some fun family memories.
Our family of three had a fantastic experience with Chelan. The outing was enjoyable, well‑run, and included some time for swimming. As first‑time rafters, we were impressed with how smooth and memorable the entire trip was.
Great experience for our family of 5! Guides were knowledgeable and hilarious. Would highly recommend to others.
Josie was awesome! highly recommend
