Gallatin River Rafting

Whitewater Rafting Big Sky, MT

Welcome to one of the premier river rafting destinations in the west! The Gallatin offers you the chance to view incredible scenery and paddle through some fun, challenging, and continuous whitewater. We offer different stretches of river for a variety of skill levels. Most of our trips begin in Beautiful Big Sky Montana. Depending on your expectations, correctly timing your trip can be the most important factor. Do you want to raft the infamous, class IV Mad Mile? The water is highest early in the season, then tapers off as the summer progresses. Looking for a mellower ride? Check out the upper Gallatin any time or the Lower Gallatin later in the summer.

Our trips start in Big Sky and our office is conveniently located a short drive from the end of your raft trip, getting you back to your dry clothes, photos, and snacks in a matter of minutes - usually 10 or less!

Our Gallatin River office is located on Highway 191 between Bozeman and Big Sky, north of West Yellowstone. This is where you will meet for our Gallatin or Madison River Trips.
