Wonderful rafting experience - This was an excellent first rafting experience for our family. The customer service was over the top!! Jack greeted us with great positive energy and a smile as we were getting our gear for the trip. Jack and Jay were also our guides on the raft. Both of them were extremely kind and patient with us and our four kids. My 5 year old talked nonstop and they conversed with him the entire ride. It really helped him to have calmer energy as he was somewhat nervous. They also took time to point out neat landscaping features throughout the float as well. There was a photographer who also snapped pics of us along the river. That was very much appreciated. During the bus ride to and from the river, all of the guides were fun and entertaining. You can tell they truly enjoy their job and working together. It was a memorable experience and we would absolutely go again.

Family Fun on the Yellowstone! - Excellent trip lead by Morgan and crew. The rapids were thrilling and the "Riding the Bull" was the favorite part of the day for our 10 year old grandson. Even the bus ride was fun! Thanks to all for a great trip!

Family Fun - I went with my husband and our 2 kids, 7 and 12. Morgan was our guide and she was fantastic. My daughter (7) was pretty nervous and she did a great job of making her feel safe and encouraging her to try something new. My son had a blast and, after a week long road trip, I know this will be the thing he takes away as his favorite thing from the trip. The guides were knowledgeable and efficient. They used my daughter as the safety example, again making her feel more comfortable. The waves were pretty mild that day but Morgan did a great job of moving us into the best ones so we could get some great bumps and jumps, The photographer got some great shots of us and in every one my son is smiling ear to ear. Such a wonderful way for us to end our week long road trip. Thanks Wild West Rafting!!

Must do in Gardiner! - Our kids were a little nervous since it was their first time. However, it all changed once the trip started. They were so excited and had the best time ever! Our guide Rane was very experienced and helpful. We also bought the picture package which had great shots! Also recommended.

10/10 recommend! - We got to experience this awesome adventure with just the two of us and our guide, Brendan! Despite it being chilly, whitewater rafting was incredible! We had fun going through the rapids and then got opportunities to relax and take in the scenery. Highly recommend!
