There’s nothing quite like a day on the river in Montana. Just outside Bozeman, the Yellowstone River carves through Paradise Valley, serving up some of the region’s best rafting. Imagine the thrill of navigating through clear mountain water, with cottonwood-lined banks on either side, and the Absaroka Range towering in the distance. Whether you’re chasing thrills or want to float with the family, there’s a rafting trip that fits your style.

If you’re short on time or want a taste of whitewater, the 8-Mile Paradise Raft Trip is a classic. It packs in waves, splash zones, and gorgeous scenery, all in a couple of hours—perfect if you’ve got kids or a packed vacation schedule. Rest assured, our experienced guides and top-notch equipment ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. For those who want more of a workout (and more time soaking up the views), the Full Day Paradise Raft Trip stretches things out, giving you rapids in the morning and a calmer float in the afternoon. It’s the best way to settle into river life.

Families who prefer a gentler ride often love the Splash & Dash option. It’s a shorter float with just enough wave action to keep things exciting but not overwhelming. Our guides are trained to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all, making it an ideal choice for families. And if you’re after something special, booking a Private Boat Raft Trip guarantees your group has the raft (and guide) all to yourselves—ideal for reunions, birthdays, or anyone who wants a little extra space.

Here’s the quick guide: short and splashy? Go with 8-Mile. Want a full-day adventure? Paradise is your trip. Kids in tow? Splash & Dash is perfect. Private group? Lock in that private raft.
