    Things to know

    Riders must be at least 7 years old and weigh 300 lb or less. After check-in, you drive your own vehicle to the ranch on a steep gravel road that is not recommended for large RVs, trailers, motorcycles, or low-clearance vehicles. If you choose to buy photos, the cost is extra—clarify the amount with Greetwell before booking.

    Cancellation Policy

    Payment is due at the time of reservation. No refunds for cancellations within 48 hours of departure. Cancel outside 48 hours for a full refund. Full refund if we cancel due to weather, mechanical failure, unsafe conditions, or insufficient reservations.

    FAQs

    Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Each horse has a small saddle bag with minimal space for items like a camera, water bottle, and a light jacket.

    Wear a bathing suit, shorts, and a T-shirt—anything you’re comfortable getting wet in. Choose synthetic or quick-drying layers instead of cotton. For footwear, use a water shoe that secures around the ankle (no flip flops or Crocs). River shoes are available for your use and are included.

    Bring your own rain gear. If it rains and the horseback ride still runs, the ranch does not provide rain gear.

    White water rafting on the Yellowstone doesn't get much better than this. Guides like Preston, Seth, Vivien, and Cadence consistently steal the show, bringing genuine enthusiasm, local knowledge, and a knack for making everyone from young kids to adults feel comfortable on the water. Multiple visitors mention that their guide's personality was what elevated the trip from fun to unforgettable. What's also worth noting is how responsive the company is. One reviewer left feedback wishing the trip had been longer, and received a prompt call with a thoughtful explanation. That kind of attentiveness says a lot about how seriously they take the guest experience. Beyond rafting, they also offer horseback cookout experiences, so there's more than one reason to check them out if you're exploring the Yellowstone area.

    We had a blast on the river. There were 7 of us on one raft, plus our guide (Conlin?, who was great), and including a 65 year old and a 8 year old- and all had a good time. The front row gets quite wet, while the third and fourth row didn’t get very wet at all. A lot of floating and viewing the mountains and birds and a good handful of mild to moderate rapids. Would definitely recommend.
