You will meet at our riverfront office on Main Street in Gardiner to check in with our office staff and our guides will get you outfitted with all the equipment needed. We provide wetsuits, booties, and splash tops all free of charge! Show up with a bathing suit to wear under the wetsuit, or synthetic layers that can dry quick if wetsuits are not required. We have cubbies and bins to keep your dry clothes and valuables in and the office staff has a place for your car keys. We will shuttle you a short drive across town where you will get our safety talk to outline the dos and don't of rafting. Then hit the water!

Direct bookings always get the best value! Start the trip on the boundary of America’s first National Park! Spend the morning paddling the “Gardiner Town Stretch” and float further downstream into beautiful Paradise Valley. Before entering paradise, you will experience class I-III splashy rapids, beautiful scenery and amazing swimming holes.

Halfway through your adventure, our fun loving guides will stop and serve you lunch sourced from a locally owned cafe. After lunch your afternoon will be well spent paddling through the scenic and rapid Yankee Jim Canyon – the most beautiful section of the Yellowstone River! (and most fun, in our opinion)

This trip is 18 miles on the river and can be 4-6 hours door to door approximately depending on water levels. Boats usually accommodate 8-12 people depending on size and group demands. We will pick you up at the end of the trip, for a short 20 minute drive back to our office and your dry clothes! Our professional photographers will get shots of you throughout the trip. Trip photos, apparel, and souvenirs are available for purchase right at the office.
