The Top 10 Raft Tours in Bozeman

Bozeman's rivers are a playground for every kind of adventurer. In spring, snowmelt turns them into whitewater roller coasters; by late summer, they mellow into scenic floats framed by towering peaks. Whether you're chasing adrenaline or a peaceful drift, you'll find it here, offering a variety of experiences that will keep you excited and intrigued.

For a quick but memorable splash, the Classic Half Day Rafting Experience and the Yellowstone River Full Day Paradise Raft Trip both pack action into just a few hours—perfect for fitting around a busy Yellowstone itinerary.


If you've got the whole day, the Full-Day Whitewater Rafting Experience mixes exciting Class II–III rapids with calmer sections, while the offers a tailored, guide-led adventure for your group alone. Both combine thrills with plenty of time to soak up Paradise Valley's beauty.
