YELLOWSTONE WHITEWATER RAFTING

If you’re searching for something to do on your next family vacation to Yellowstone, your search ends here in Gardiner, Montana—our base camp north of Yellowstone! Our whitewater rafting trips on the Yellowstone River are one of the ultimate family fun experiences. Prepare to get wet as you navigate whitewater rapids!

YELLOWSTONE FLY FISHING

Enjoy some peace and quiet while floating down the river and catching fish. Our fly fishing guides will happily assist you on this adventure! You have several options when it comes to fishing in Yellowstone National Park; The Madison, Yellowstone, Soda Butte, and so many other waters have great fishing to offer.   

You can stay out on the river for half a day or all day. We also offer walk-wade experiences where you can traverse the river to find the perfect fishing spot.

  

YELLOWSTONE HORSEBACK RIDING

Have you always dreamed of riding a horse through an open plain with the gorgeous Absaroka Mountains in the background? Dream no more!

We specialize in family-friendly horseback riding trips that take full advantage of our amazing mountain scenery. Our 1 and 2-hour horseback rides take you through the beautiful Gallatin National Forest. If you join us in the evening, you can also enjoy our Cowboy Cookout!   

YELLOWSTONE KAYAKING

Want to explore the Yellowstone River alone or with only one or two extra people? Reserve an inflatable kayak for each member of your group or add a couple of kayaks to your Wet or Dry Scenic Float. These kayaks are the perfect way to maximize your time on the Yellowstone River.

Kayaking allows you more control over your journey than rafting on the Yellowstone River. It’s the perfect family-friendly activity for those who would rather create their own trail than follow where the raft takes them.  

YELLOWSTONE HIKING AND BACKPACKING

Yellowstone National Park contains a diversity of wildlife like no other place in the world. Bears, wolves, elk, bison, moose, and other large mammals share this vast ecosystem in the northern Rockies. Watch and observe the natural processes of the Park’s grand landscape during a hiking or backpacking trip.

Get to know Yellowstone in its natural state while exploring areas typical tourist crowds miss. Choose between a guided hike that lasts five hours or one that takes ten hours. This is the perfect activity for those who love to keep moving.
