Trip Details
Meet at the Wild West Rafting office in Gardiner 30 minutes before your trip. We’ll get you geared up and introduce you to your guide, then we’ll take you on a short ride to the river.

You’ll raft 9 miles of the Yellowstone River through a mix of Class II and III rapids and calm stretches with views of the Gallatin and Absaroka Mountains. This trip is great for ages 6+ and anyone over 40 lbs.

Your take-out point is Yellowstone Hot Springs, the closest hot springs to Yellowstone. The facility is nestled along the river with gorgeous mountain views and changing rooms so you can swap your river gear for a bathing suit.

Spend an hour soaking in the mineral-rich pools, then we’ll drive you back to our office. You’ll be done by 7:00 PM with plenty of time for dinner in Gardiner.

What to Bring

  • Swimsuit or quick-dry clothes for rafting
  • Swimsuit for the hot springs (or wear the same one)
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses with a strap, and a hat
  • Towel (or rent one at the hot springs for $4)

Leave a bag with any dry clothes or towels you’d like after the float with our office staff, and we’ll make sure it’s waiting for you at the hot springs.
