A great Yellowstone River experience!

Being in our 80’s we were both very pleased with the helpfulness of our guide and driver as we entered and exited the van and raft and especially walking down to the river. We were expecting a pleasant time on the river and it exceeded our expectations.
Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and fun on our private float trip.
A great day at a reasonable price!!
Lots of fun

Our guide Bailey was awesome however the overall experience was less than advertised. The trip is advertise as 2 hrs site seeing and possible wildlife. The reality was 1 hr on the water going away from and never in the park with the only wildlife being the people in their backyards.
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Hi Eric, thank you for your feedback. We take our clients feedback seriously and use it to help us grow and improve as a business. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed your guide, Bailey. She is an excellent guide and will be happy to hear this. I apologize you feel your trip was less than advertised. We advertise the trip to be approximately 2 hours. We say “approximately” because there are some variables that go into operating on a natural river we cannot control. Typically, you will be floating on the water for an hour and a half. This leaves roughly thirty minutes for transportation time.
We do not advertise that we raft in Yellowstone National Park. This would be illegal. There is no rafting allowed inside of Yellowstone. We do, however, border the park for the first several miles of the trip. You floated 6 miles on the Yellowstone River with us. You saw views of Yellowstone National Park and parts of the Gallatin Mountain Range. This we can control. Unfortunately, wildlife we cannot. They are on their own agenda. Often times we will see elk, deer and lots of waterfowl. Sometimes we aren’t as lucky.
Our goal is to give all of our guest a great experience on the river. We feel that our stretch of the Yellowstone River is very special and we love to share it with people. Your feedback is appreciated and will help us continue to improve as a business.
Scenic Float on the Yellowstone River

Wild West Rafting was wonderful. Prior to our trip, I had concerns about Covid-19. They were very responsive to my questions. Our scenic float was wonderful. We even conquered some small rapids. Thomas, our guide, who is also the owner, was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this company for an experience on the Yellowstone River.

This was an amazing experience- we ended up switching over from the scenic tour last minute and we had no regrets! Shout out to Morgan, she was our guide and was such a lovely presence and wonderful energy. I believe she came out of semi-retirement to be our rafting guide for the day, and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity to be in her group.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
