    Review summary

    5.0
    Excellent
    1.8K reviews•Google Maps

    Flying Pig's guides consistently steal the show here. Seth, Preston, Freddy, Bobby, Iver, and Cadence all get enthusiastic shout-outs for being knowledgeable, fun, and excellent with kids. The staff creates an energetic, friendly atmosphere that makes families feel comfortable and entertained throughout their trips. Wildlife spotting along the Yellowstone River adds natural excitement, with guests mentioning elk sightings and beautiful scenery between the rapids. The operation itself runs smoothly from start to finish. Multiple reviewers praise the seamless booking process and organization, with staff going the extra mile (like Ava helping plan an entire anniversary day). One practical advantage: they're the only Gardiner company that starts right at their riverside location, meaning no bus ride to begin your adventure. The 8-mile trip seems particularly popular, lasting around two hours with opportunities to jump in the water. One guest did mention the road to their cowboy cookout location is rough for RVs, so smaller vehicles are recommended for that particular experience. Overall, this is a family-friendly outfit with genuinely excellent guides who know the river and make people want to return.
