This was a our first rafting trip as a family. Our girls (8 & 11) were excited to get on the river, but we also wanted to make sure we floated a river that wasn't too dangerous or extreme for them. We found a great match with Wild West and our cool guide Boone. The staff got everyone outfitted beforehand. They let you use booties, wet suits and splash jackets if needed and they supply life jackets. They also did a good job explaining the trip and laying out the expectations and safety rules. We had a blast on the water. Our guide, Boone, steered us into the best currents and made sure everyone abroad was having a good time. Our boat was half children 8-15 yrs and he did wonderful job incorporating them and making it fun. We not only paddled, but played some rafting games and splashed our companions. The rapids were just right for our kids' first adventure. I imagine they were class II & III at the most. This probably wouldn't be the trip for someone looking for more serious rapids, but it is a nice float with good scenery. The Wild West shop has ice cream and some food like burgers and has a place to change clothes. The price was quite reasonable and much cheaper than rafting options we looked at in Jackson, WY. We called two days in advance to get our reservations on July 4th and didn't have a problem.

What a blast! We had a great time rafting with our guide Morgan. She has an amazing personality which makes the rafting trip so much fun! The stories shared, the jokes told and the interaction with each individual on the raft show how much pride she takes in what she does. Not to mention she will be an incredible teacher in the near future!! We would absolutely recommend Wild West!

wow what an adventure. I had so much fun rating with Matty. He is the most fun person ever, and I instantly felt safe with him. He also has a lot of amazing things to tell you about Yellowstone park as your are riding the river, and some not so amazing jokes.. HA! I also really loved the environment at Wild West rafting. everyone that works there seems to really enjoy what they do, and I think that makes a huge difference. I would recommend this company to anyone visiting Gardiner! and of course, make sure you ask for Matt(y)! x casey

Casey! I can't thank you enough for writing such a great review for me and our company! Makes me so happy to hear that you felt safe with me as your guide. That is and always will be my top priority. I truly hope you come and visit us all again, you're spirit is amazing and can't wait to cross paths with you down the road! As for my (amazing) jokes, I'll make sure I get some new ones for your next visit... Fondly, Matty: "The Raft Guide With The Best Jokes Around."
