First time for our 15- and 18-year old boys - booked "Lower Whitewater Trip" Class III/IV - this was a great 1st time experience. Our guide said the rapids were more like Class III - I think this is typical later summer? But our boys are enthusiasts and want to go again (but more of Class IV) - it was pretty mild, but like I said, great 1st experience. Quick drive from Town Center in Big Sky - like 10 minutes. Do your waiver and payment on-line for seamless check-in. It was a nice day with obviously cold water - we didn't rent any special gear, and were totally fine. Water starts to feel good (at least if you have a nice day like we did). Wear your Teva's or water shoes! About a 20 minute drive to where you take off. Hope for a great guide - we had Kyle and he made our trip exceptional. We were going through dips and "whitewater" that other rafts were passing by. He was very experienced, had a great personality and had a lot of knowledge about the surroundings. Thanks Kyle!! Return is roughly 35 minutes back, where you can view your photos. The photographers are phenomenal, but pricey - $125 for all the digitals. There is an option to choose 1 or 3 photos, but there are so many great pic's, you'll want them all! Don't forget to bring cash to tip your guide - if you forget (like we did), you can Venmo. Great times. read more

Geyser Whitewater Expeditions - Lots of time to chill and enjoy the scenery - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Gallatin Gateway, Montana

First big shout out to our guide and raft guide J MONEY (and Tim)! We had a 10/10 experience. Definitely, one of our family's favorite experiences!! We got the wet suits and booties which was only like $7/person total. I'd highly recommend getting it. Kept us warm. We did that Level 3-4. My kids are 16 and 19 and loved every bit and want to do it again. I felt like the level 3-4 was doable though we had some close calls. Out of the 6 raft's no one went over. Theses guides are skilled. The time is exhilarating and serene at the same time. You get to to tip your guide after. We also choose to get a digital photo which the photographer does an incredible job capturing our moments. After you get to enjoy some of the best hot chocolates in town or coffee. This establishment is legit. It's a bit pricey after everything is done but so worth the experience with the family! read more

Absolutely amazing and an absolute must! I had the best time. It was the first time I've ever been white water rafting. It's a rush and the scenery is beautiful, but what truly makes this trip seamless is the team. The staff booking everything does an amazing job. The pros that keep everyone safe are so knowledgeable and fun, and the team leads keep it all moving and keep smiles on everyone's faces. If you're coming to big sky or West Yellowstone, add this to your list of must do's! read more

Super fun and very professionally run. They take great pictures that they sell later. They provide good gear and instructions. Try the zip lining too! read more

My wife and our 12 year old son loved this excursion. It was about 10 miles, lasted over an hour, and a big shout out to Isaac who was our guide. It was cold and wet, but we were proceeded more than enough gear to deal with the elements. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a fun family adventure. read more

We loved our experience with Geyser Whitewater Expeditions in Big Sky, Montana. We had never been to the area OR white water rafting before, but we would 10/10 recommend it. All of the staff at GWE were terrific from Josie who took our reservation on the phone, to Eric (the owner) who checked us in, to Stevie our trip guide, J-Money our bus driver, and especially Nathan our raft captain. These friendly people and all the other staff made the day a safe, fun and memorable experience. read more

Geyser Whitewater Expeditions - Upper route of the river. Class 1&2 rapids. - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Gallatin Gateway, Montana

We loved it. Morgan was the best. Water was great not too cold. Less extreme course was fun. Plan ahead if you want more excitement.

What a fun morning on the river, whitewater rafting! There was two in our party and by luck we got our own boat and guide. I booked it about a week in advance and easy to fill out all the papers online, and just show up. Matt Kraska was our guide and was super knowledgeable about rafting and the area. Super safe and a very fun trip and rapids. It was August so the water was really low. The rapids were not challenging, but the raft in front of us did lose three people out, (and safely back in) so FYI that anything can happen. It was my friends first rafting trip and my 3rd, so it was perfect experience. The views and area is amazing. Loved the pics at the end of the trip. We bought them all. Professional business with lots of merchandise and other available experiences. read more

So much fun, our faces hurt from laughing & smiling so much! Nathan was our rafting guide. He was so fun. Our first rapids we went through it backwards. Our kids (14 yrs old) were in the front. They were getting the worst of the rapids & loving every minute. 2 hour trip. Easy check in, quick bus rides & would recommend jacket rental. Keeps you warm even though you are drenched. Do it!! You will have a blast read more

I was checking out prices for a trip I've had a few friends who have gone and really liked it. The price was $600 for the raft a max of 6 people or 3 of me. The staff explained everything thoroughly sounds like a good time. I liked the store had rafting items for sale plus snacks and you can get a picture of your trip. I liked the fact they have a climbing wall so I could warm up read more

Great experience for even the inexperienced rafter. My fiancé booked the lower River trip with class 3/4 rapids- and even though we were nervous with encouragement of the guides we definitely are glad we went through with it. read more

WE HAD A BLAST!!!! Our guide was Mitch, he was safe, skilled, and a part time comedian I think... haha. It was me, my wife, and another couple in the boat. What an awesome time it was read more

I've been a guide for many years and would never go rafting with any of your let alone drink a beer with them after a trip. They can't hit lines, they have no personality, and your operation is a damn joke. Your set up for tourist and that's it. I'll stick to other companies and I would kindly ask for my money back read more

Second time rafting with this crew and we had a good time despite the weather. We made our reservations a few months ahead of time. Arrived in the area for our vacation and encountered rain, snow and 36 degrees outside in early June on the day of our rafting trip. I know mountain weather can be unpredictable so I had some thermal underwear for my kids just in case. So glad we brought them as they definitely came in handy this day. What really impressed me with Geyser White Water was how all the staff took extra measures making sure my kids had additional layers to stay as warm as possible. They even lent my husband and I fleece jackets. I also really appreciate our guide on the river, Archer. He brought some extra gloves and let our kids use those. He also kept the raft on the right path and made sure we all stayed in. Given the cold nobody was interested in falling out. I definitely recommend rafting with this group and FYI they raft in all weather so come prepared. read more

This was the best whitewater experience I've ever had. I felt so safe and in good hands. The wetsuits that they provided were a must because the water temp was 43. Shout out to Kasey for informing us of all the safety rules and to Nathan for being an awesome tour guide. Nathan was so fun and professional, he knew just what to do telling us how to navigate the river. The free hot coffee and hot chocolate at the end was amazing. I can't wait to go again. read more

My entire family and I went rafting a little while back and we just got home from our trip and I must say, rafting with Rob at Geyser was our favorite memory from our entire trip. He was so competent on the river and so sweet to our family who was feeling a little nervous. He made us feel so safe and supported the entire time, all while making us laugh too! Thank you Rob, we appreciate you and if we're ever in Montana again we'll for sure come back and raft, but only with you haha read more

Our group of 13 rafted with Geyser this week and it was a great experience. All of the guides were knowledgeable and fun (enter tons of dad jokes; haha!). We were with Wolf and he did a great job. Incredible experience and would highly recommend. read more

The team was phenomenal. Our guide Rose was great with the kids, ages 10 and 15. It was our first whitewater rafting experience and now it won't be our last. Great family memories. Highly recommend. read more

Amazing adventure! Friendly and fun staff, yet very professional. Even in inclement weather we had a FANTASTIC whitewater adventure!

I highly recommend booking a trip on the class III and IV rapids. This was the first whitewater trip for my 14 year old son and 11 year old daughter and they wanted to do it again. The rapids were thrilling but not too intense, the guide was experienced and the tours are well organized. This is a must-do summer activity if you're in the area. read more

Geyser Whitewater was awesome! They led our large family in two rafts down the Gallatin. The owner even kayaked along with us, probably because we had some younger kids on the rafts. They were flexible and practical with us when we had to adjust our numbers and plans at the last minute. Ultimately, they provided us with an awesome experience! We will never forget our time on the Gallatin. read more

Tim was the ultimate River Guide, as were all crew members in the shop and store. My entire raft was filled was first time rafters and "elderly". We laughed and or screamed with abandon the entire trip. Wet was the word of choice! Tim guided us through expertly and constantly barked out orders, commands and humorous one liners. Best experience of our entire trip! read more

Great time today with Geyser Whitewater, 1/2 day Lower Whitewater III & IV. We had 4 adults and our kids (2) 15 yrs., 18 and 20. They were all very friendly and a ton of fun. Everything ran efficiently (registration, equipment rental, transportation and guides on the water). If you're looking for a fun time in the Big Sky area you don't need to go any further than Geyser Whitewater. read more

Great experience. First time I've whitewater rafted. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Geyser is well organized things run really smooth!! The guides were terrific very personal and out going. I will definitely come back next time in the area. read more

Great experience! My family loved the white water rapids. The guide knew the river well and kept us safe. None of us fell out of the boat. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. read more

Can't believe how much fun we had - went to the wrong place first and felt like idiots, everyone at Geyser was so nice and accommodating, and our guides Corinne and Ryan were both especially awesome. I have put off rafting for years because I was worried about safety but between the full gear provided and the clear directions on what to do in any scenario, I felt confident, looked out for, and capable. Definitely volunteer to be in the front of the boat! The scenery was gorgeous and we all had so much fun!! They brought cookies and water for the end of the ride, and had tons of funny stories and local recommendations to share along the way. Also, their photographer (who follows you along the banks of the river) is excellent - he got great shots of our group that I loved sharing with my family. This was a highlight of my trip to Big Sky. I can't recommend it enough! read more

Had the BEST time here. Great working group of people, sense of community & safety. Highly recommend a morning session during the summer since it has been HOT recently. Great time in the boat & service purchasing photos etc. Best place to go for Whitewater expeditions! read more

I recently rented a boat for 1 hour at Big Sky Resort and was appalled with the treatment I received by the person running the check in. To be clear there were 2 people working, one person was in training and the other person was a seasoned employee. I know this to be true as they stated they had worked there for several seasons. Extremely rude and very curt with responses to my questions. Addituonally after 20 minutes of paddle boarding I had asked if I could trade in the SUP for a kayak and was told "absolutely not". No reason given and didn't understand why I couldn't as there was an available kayak sitting on the shore. No additional effort was needing from the staff. The person in training did apologize to me on 2 different times as they recognized that the person in charge was rude read more

Fantastic. The service was friendly and entertaining. The equipment was solid--and wet suits were given to us for free due to the water temperature. Our guide, Travis, was completely new (we were his first clients), but he was competent and very cordial, putting up with some numbskull comments on our part. The directions are very clear, and they make sure you feel safe--but not too nervous--by the time you get in the raft. I don't think the rapids we went down, which they said hit Class 4 were really anything above Class 3, but it was enough for myself and my wife, both beginners, to get excited and have fun. We wish there had been more rapids sooner--there's a decent bit of down-time while on the river--but it ended adventurously. Definitely don't do the Class 2/3 route unless you have kids; my guess is you'd be disappointed. The Class 3/4 route is the way to go. If you're an expert rafter, you'll probably want to go elsewhere. As to cost...I think we paid $135 for the two of us. A man takes photos of each raft at numerous points along the river. Photos start at $35, as I recall. read more

Everyone was very kind and helpful and our guide times it so in the pictures they took it seemed like we were the only ones in the river that day! Very impressed and wish we could it again. read more

Our trip was awesome! We had so much fun our family will never forget it. Kyle was our guide and he was amazing. So knowledgeable and funny, he made it even better! read more

We had a really great time!! Great family activity, friendly guide, good photos. Excellent.

Archer was a great guide and the company was so great. I have two teenage boys, they had a smile in every picture. I can not recommend this experience enough.
