The Top 29 Adventure Tours in Yellowstone

Adventure in Yellowstone isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s about finding the kind of thrill that matches your style. For some, that means revving up the engines. ATV and UTV rentals in West Yellowstone are a fantastic way to break free from the main roads and dive into the backcountry. ATVs are best if you’re after a solo ride with a sporty feel. At the same time, UTVs are more spacious and stable, making them a favorite for families or groups who want to share the fun together.

Rest assured, our equipment is regularly maintained, and we provide safety briefings and equipment, such as helmets, to ensure your safety.

If you’d rather trade dust for heights, the Yellowstone Zipline EcoTour is the kind of adventure that gets your heart racing without pushing things too far. Led by experienced guides, it’s active, scenic, and kid-approved—a great choice if you want excitement that’s more approachable than extreme.

Then there’s the water. Rafting the Yellowstone River gives you two distinct ways to play. Short on time? The 8-mile whitewater trip packs a punch in just a few hours with splashy rapids and plenty of laughs. Have a whole day to spare? The private full-day raft trip stretches things out with calmer sections, more wildlife spotting, including bald eagles, and the bonus of having a boat to yourselves.

No matter how you choose to explore, these tours show off Yellowstone’s adventurous side in ways the average road trip can’t. And because our team has personally tested and compared these experiences, you can feel confident you’re picking from the best options out there. Whether you want your adventure fast, high, or splashy, Yellowstone delivers it all, promising a variety of experiences that will keep you excited and engaged, and always craving for more.
