Great way to see Yellowstone from a different perspective, with expert guides - We had a lovely, tranquil journey down the Yellowstone River with tour guide Tom steering us through gentle rapids and talking about the geography and history of the area. I was with my older mom and Tom was patient and gracious helping her down a rocky, difficult path to get into the raft. Our feet got a little wet but they provide water shoes, and there was a little splashing through the rapids — all part of the fun. The rest of our party did the white water trip and had similar praise for the quality of the guides and the trip down the river. All in all a great experience, with knowledgeable, skillful, and kind staff. Highly recommend.

A must experience with Wild West Rafting ! - What a thrilling experience, and highlight of our week in Yellowstone / Grand Teton. Our experience with Wild West rafting was smooth and so much fun, we would highly recommend them. Bohdi, our adventurous guide, was a bonus ! I was a first time rafter, his direction was clear, stories were entertaining, he made it a memorable experience for the whole group. We saw elk along the river and a few of us jumped in the water for a portion of it — I will definitely join them again for another excursion when I’m back. Oh ! And they had clean bathrooms and changing rooms, which was also lovely. Thank you Wild West Rafting team !

Great experience and quality guides - The experience is great but the rapids are smaller during September. The guides are very friendly and the communication during our modified booking is really great.

So much fun…. - We had a great time rafting on the Yellowstone river with our two teens, 17 and 15. Josh, our guide was amazing! Super entertaining and knowledgeable! We saw a herd of elk up close which was super cool! Ps - we did the saddle through them earlier in the day which was great.

Stupendous!!👍👍👍👍👍 - Considering i am 71 and a little nervous, i loved it. It was physical but loved it especially going for a swim. Added bonus floating by Elks cooling off in the river. Brandon was quite the comedian but definitely knew what he was doing

Perfect for a family first - We had a great experience. The two hour run was perfect for my family who had never rafted before but wanted the experience. There were enough rapids to get the feel for it but breaks in between to rest and enjoy the scenic views. My wife and boys (13, 10, and 8) all loved it.
