Our group had a great time! When we booked our trip, we weren't sure of the level of rafting we should take. So, when Merv asked us a few questions, we realized we needed to go to the more advanced trip and it was fantastic. Merv was very informative and the kids really enjoyed doing the 360 spin down on of the rapids. We would definitely do this again when we come up for a future trip. Thanks again.

We loved our whitewater rafting trip with Peter. I’m the scenery was beautiful and it was just enough excitement for our group. The check in process was very easy and it everyone was very helpful. 10/10 would do again.

Great experience! It was a lot of fun , felt safe all the time . I would do it again ! It was perfect weather, our guide Sage was awesome - she made our experience even more fun. Don’t forget to bring towels - you will be wet .

We had an incredible family whitewater rafting trip with Kyle as our guide! From the moment we arrived, he made everyone feel comfortable and excited—including our kids. He was incredibly personable, patient, encouraging, and made safety his top priority throughout the entire trip.
We were a little nervous about how cold the water would be, but it honestly wasn’t bad at all and ended up being part of the fun! Kyle made sure everyone felt confident and prepared before we hit the river.
He was knowledgeable, great with kids, and truly went above and beyond to make this an unforgettable experience for our family. If you’re rafting in Big Sky, definitely ask for Kyle! He made what could have been an intimidating adventure one of the absolute highlights of our Montana vacation. We highly recommend Family Whitewater Rafting!

We had a blast white water rafting! Our guide, Hayden, was great at giving directions and offering fun facts about the history and wildlife along the river. He made the experience fun and unforgettable! We hope to come back and do the more advanced rapids next time!

Our guide,Jacob, was awesome! We saw two bald eagles. Lots of fun! We also used Jacob this past winter to snow mobile in the back country. The ride down the river was simply stunning and a must do to really see the beauty of the river.

Thrills and near spills! Great guides make the trip even more fun. Beautiful river. Wet suits provided and recommended due to the cold water and how wet you get.

Where do I start? Efficient and friendly, amazingly fun and adventurous. First and foremost we felt very safe with Tom. My sister and brother and I did the more challenging trip and it was spectacular, very exciting and I can't stress how awesome our guide Tom was. He had a plan for every scenario and gave us the run down at every spot, and he was funny and I learned a lot! Do this tour and have a blast!

Had a fun day on the water with 2 teenage boys who are ready to do this again. Guide was knowledgeable (Newby) and made sure that we were entertained as well as safe and prepared for our adventure...My youngest grandson actually fell out of the raft but remembered to grab the rope and was safely pulled back into the raft. Great safety talk!
