Q&A
A: There's no strict age limit, but kids should be at least 5 years old to join the trip. It’s a family-friendly experience, so all ages are welcome as long as they can fit in the provided gear! Just make sure they're comfortable in water and ready for some splashes.
A: You don’t need to worry too much about clothing since they provide wetsuits, water shoes, and splash jackets. Just wear something comfortable underneath. A swimsuit works great, and be sure to bring a towel for after the ride!
A: If the weather looks unsafe for rafting, Wild West Rafting will usually reschedule your trip. They’ll reach out to you if there’s a change so you’re not left in the dark. Just make sure to check with them a day or two in advance, and have a backup plan ready in case!

Anyone else love rafting on the Yellowstone River?!
Just got back from the 2 Hour Rafting trip with Wild West Rafting in Gardiner and wow, what a blast! Our guide was super chill and made sure we all felt safe while also having a lot of fun. We went with our kids, ages 6 and 10, and they couldn’t stop laughing during the rapids. Already planning to go again next summer!
Thinking of gifting the rafting experience—any tips?
I’m considering this whitewater rafting trip for my siblings’ families. They all love the outdoors, but I’m worried about how my niece, who's only 5, will do. Any advice on that? Also, what’s the best time to go in the summer?
