Step 1
Do business with an established white water rafting company. Select one of many companies located just north of Yellowstone National Park. Research each company online and through a travel agent.
-
Step 2
Research the various offerings of each whitewater rafting company. Choose full and half-day adventures, standard size rafts or smaller paddle rafts and late summer ride-on-top kayak rafting, which is safer for beginners, when the rivers are low.
-
Step 3
Contact each whitewater rafting company for a brochure and information about tour packages, reservations, costs, lodging and related details. Discuss with each company specific needs and choose accordingly.
-
Step 4
Plan a summer trip to enjoy the cold river waters. Book a reservation with a credit card up to nine months in advance to ensure a spot. Be clear about the needs, expectations and competencies of the party.
-
Step 5
Abide all the instruction and rules of the trip's guides and outfitter. Read carefully and sign releases for adults and minors.
-
Step 6
Wear sturdy, comfortable clothing that dries quickly. Choose apparel and footwear that allow ease of movement both in the raft and in the water in the event of a spill. Wear sunscreen that stands up well to water and high country sun.
