Great rafting trip - We had a great time, Jeb was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. It was the less challenging trip but offered enough excitement and everyone had a blast.

Incredible Experience! - The whitewater rafting trip was a great experience! We absolutely loved our guide, Corey on our Doughboy! Corey was so knowledgeable on the area and very engaging the entire trip. We all felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend going on the rafting trip as part of your visit to Big Sky/Bozeman.

Great few hours of rafting! - We had a great time rafting on the Gallatin! We did the more challenging trip and loved it. Mitch was our rafting instructor and he taught us what we needed to know and made it fun. Our kids loved it too even though they had to get out for the mad mile since they were under 16. We would definitely do this one again!

For a first time, this is the place to go river rafting - I was petrified of the experience - after the safety talk I thought I would get on the bus back. So glad I didn’t! We had the best time with Bean - she is an amazing guide, relaxed and helped me get comfortable. It was absolutely a BLAST. The area is spectacular and the rapids are doable even for newbies like me. Bean introduced each rapid on the trip and was very focused on providing key instructions to all of us - the paddling was fun. Don’t skip this adventure - their entire team was fantastic!

Family raft trip or 6 - Montana Whitewater was a large operation but they made the experience feel small and personal. They ensured that everyone in our family had a great time, dunking the front of the raft for excitement and then making sure the younger kids felt safe and still got splashed! Great guides and staff! The photography was even worth raving about!
