Paradise Adventure Company

Did an 8mile whitewater rafting trip with guide Matt. His customer service was exceptional. As a large older woman I was already nervous, and was unable to get into the wetsuit. I was about to request a refund and leave, but Matt was kind and encouraged me to participate, outlining how I would be ok with him. I participated and he was true to his word. I did not feel unsafe at all. Thank you Matt. I highly recommend this business and know you'll have a good safe rafting adventure with Matt as your guide.

We went out 6/26/21 at 9am. My family group: me (former trail guide), 22 yr old (she’s ridden elephants more than horses), 20 yr old (never been on a horse), 13 yr old special needs, & 12 yr old special needs - both never ridden unassisted. AWESOME PLACE!!!! All the folks are real friendly and great with kids and adults who have never been on a horse. They match you with the right horse - and they are all sound in the pack. The 1-hour trail ride exposes you to gorgeous MT mountains, streams, wildlife (elk, deer), and views (take your phone/camera). They provide saddle bags so you don’t lose your stuff. Take your time driving the dirt road from Gardiner to the ranch, especially in a car or non-4-wheel drive (Jeeps = no problem). Plan about 30-40 minutes to travel the gravel. Road narrows to one-car width, so remember your driving rules. Yes, they have CLEAN bathrooms and plenty of foals to pet while you wait.

Nice lazy water trip. The guide was great and had a lot of knowledge of area. Prepare to get a little wet from small waves here and there, not to mention the boat is a raft with holes around the edges to let out water and a little in. Sandals or shoes that can get soaked is best. Nice views of the landscape from the water. Good time.

We had an amazing time on our 18 mile rafting trip. Our guide Patrick was a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. We even rescued a man that had flipped his canoe in the river. These guides are awesome! Would absolutely take this trip again!

What an awesome ride! Katie and crew were fabulous! So fun and informative. No miss the chance to join them on a rafting trip! You will not regret it!

Exceptional rafting ride down the scenic Yellowstone river with knowledgeable guide Campbell. Made our experience authentic and provided a warm welcome for our first day in Montana.

This rafting company is LEGIT! Swayer was our guide and the dude is one of the most talented funny kind down to earth people ever!! The weather was less then ideal when we took off. Temps like 45° rain and sleet coming in heavy with a strong headwind. Although freezing he made it fun and my little girl who is 10 swayer put her down inbetween the rows to keep her out of the wind. SO KIND! We laughed we saw super cool stuff. He had the best stories and info on the area. Kept all of us safe. we battled brutal elements and we loved our trip!!! And when we're taking out the sun peaked through. Worth ever moment!!!!!

Relaxed yet adventurous. Did the saddle & paddle package. Loved the guides for both! Great views for both activities!!

We booked a scenic raft trip four our family visiting from all parts of the US. We had 7 adults, two children. Maddie was out tour guide and she was absolutley fantastic. Super outgoing and social, and made the trip fun for everybody on the boat. We enjoyed the trip so much that booked a white water rafting trip for the next day for the adults. We requested Maddie, who is an absolute machine at hitting the rapids. I can’t say enough about Paradise Adventure Company. From check in with Katie, pictures taken by the owner (sorry, we didn’t catch his name), to the drive back with Campbell. These people are the real deal! Highly recommended and will definitely be booking another trip when we visit Montana again.

We recently took the scenic float trip on the Yellowstone River. It was the highlight of our trip. Campbell was our guide. He was helpful, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best day. Campbell had so much information and great recommendations for the surrounding area. We were able to see wildlife and eat great meals based on his recommendations. I highly recommend Paradise Adventure Company and if you can ask for Campbell!

We booked the 2 hr scenic float and our guide Abby was terrific. We saw a juvenile bald eagle and several osprey along with deer and other wildlife. At the end of the float we had a fantastic meal at Yellowstone Lodge - very relaxing end of our day. Highly recommend!!

Don’t hesitate - book this company today! Trevor was fantastic guide - his easy going demeanor made me comfortable getting into a kayak for the first time in years. He worked with Kelsey driving the van and they both shared their knowledge of Gardiner with us and answered any questions we posed. Trevor was helpful setting us up for success from the gear issue to the safety talk and his advice along the River. We thoroughly enjoyed kayaking for 5 miles and wished the trip was longer when over (we chose the shorter duration not knowing how much we’d love it.) Everyone we encountered in the store to check in and sign waivers was friendly and helpful, too. Online booking was easy. Thanks, Paradise Adventure Company!

Our family did the 8 Mile trip and had a blast! It was my husband and mine first time and our teenagers second time rafting. We all enjoyed our time on the water! It felt adventurous but not dangerous or scary. Finn was our guide and he was wonderful! Very knowledgeable about the area and made us all feel comfortable. A fun day for all and we highly recommend!

We stayed upstairs at the Water House vacation rental on the Yellowstone river for 3 nights. This amazing place that Paradise Adventure Company offers to stay in is one of a kind. Beautiful and modern with a Montana feel. A very open and spacious place with 2 bedrooms, open kitchen, dining and living room, laundry and a large and gorgeous bath with a walk in shower. Also a large deck with seating that overlooks the Yellowstone river and mountain ranges. Some of the best views ever! We were there out of season for rafting but had a fabulous time in Gardiner and the snow. The hosts were more than gracious and friendly and we can't wait to return.

Danni was an amazing guide. We were so happy to be able to book a rafting trip during our visit, and what was even better was that we got a raft all to ourselves. Good timing on our part, even though we had to help carry our raft down to the river. It was well worth it. We learned that their location actually had a fire only a few weeks before, so we didn't have helmets. That was fine by us. We loved the photos that the company photographer provided, and we bought every one of them. Highly recommend.

We walked in around 1pm looking for something to do and they offered a 3pm river raft tour. Max was our guide. Super fun! He also gave some good recommendations for dinner that night!! Excellent pictures taken to remember the day. Would HIGHLY recommend. Will do this again if in town!!

Went white water rafting and had an absolute blast. Fantastic staff, especially our guide, Nesta. Relatively tame float down the river due to the season, but our guide still made it engaging and fun. 10/10 recommend!

Our white water rafting guide Maddie was awesome! My family of five had the best time! Our 3 boys range from 6-9 years old, one super adventurous another pretty fearful of the rapids but Maddie managed to make sure everyone had a blast! We felt safe with Maddie and the whole team worked really well together. They were very accommodating and provided nice clean gear. It was one of the highlights from our trip, we highly recommend.

We had the beat time on this 2 hour trip. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The trail and backdrop were breathtaking. Highly recommended!

JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
Our group had the most epic adventure with our guide for the 18 mile stretch. Jerry was amazing and super knowledgeable of the area. Had an absolute blast. The trip was safe, they had the proper equipment for the chilly water and weather that day. I would recommend to anyone!

Thank you again Paradise Adventure Co.
