Fun on the Water for the Entire Family
Montana Whitewater hosts a convenient office in Gardiner, not far from West Yellowstone, and situated near the North Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. This premier provider of on-the-water adventures puts together customized family-friendly rafting experiences that are as suitable for first-time rafters as they are for those who are more experienced. When you book a family-friendly whitewater rafting tour through Montana Whitewater, you’ll encounter class II and III rapids which are designated as non-technical. These tours focus on journeys along the Yellowstone River, offering participants a chance to learn rafting techniques as they enjoy a backdrop of mountains and stunning valleys. If you’re looking to customize your time on the water even further, there are options to utilize inflatable kayaks during your excursion as well. While the Yellowstone River fluctuates in volume throughout the year, many visitors will find some of the most thrilling whitewater conditions here happen in August.
Customize Your Outing
Guests who partner with Montana Whitewater have the choice to book a half-day outing or make it a full-day excursion instead. If you go for the half-day trip, your journey begins at the border of Yellowstone National Park, and you’ll float your way north through the wave rapids known as the “Gardiner Stretch.” Those who choose to enjoy the full-day adventure instead will continue on down the river with a lunch stop included on the way before hitting the iconic wave rapids that define the Yankee Jim Canyon. Both trips can be tailored according to guest preference and provide opportunities to include incredible wildlife-watching along the way as well. The half-day trip option is typically a 3-hour excursion, while a full-day whitewater rafting experience takes about 6 hours in total and includes pick-up and drop-off service.
