My husband and my two boys, ages 6 and 8, used this company for our whitewater rafting and fishing charter at the beginning of July 2014. We took the 8-mile trip for whitewater and really enjoyed it. I was concerned my 6 year-old would be scared and originally went for the less exciting option (I believe the 8-mile trip is the middle option, btw), but they assured me that although it was exciting, it was not terrifying. Well, they were correct. However, you should be aware that the bigger whitewater starts almost immediately upon leaving the launch, so there's no time for the timid folks to get used to the water. My little guy started crying and holding on to me immediately, but it didn't take too long for him to get used to it and enjoy it. The fishing charter guy was very friendly and took a lot of time with the boys. I would definitely use this company again.
We used the Flying Pig to book a guide into Yellowstone NP for our summer vacation. We got Eric and we couldn't have been happier! We went on our guided trip early in our vacation and he was able to not only show us lots of cool stuff but also gave us recommendations of where to go when we were on our own. Because of him, we were able to see the wolves of Yellowstone, not once but twice, and on our own. It was incredible! I understand he was supposed to spend about 8 hours with us, and instead, he spent all day, from 8AM to at least 8:30PM with us. We had a great time, and I can't thank him enough. He probably, single handedly made our trip! He certainly exposed us to a wonderful park!
Great outfit, quality equipment and friendly staff. Our guide Mike made it a blast in spite of wind and rain (even lightening in the distance). We highly recommend!
We ventured outside of YS to have lunch and spontaneously decided to add a rafting trip. A great feature here is that you board the boat right from their back door and the return bus trip is nice and quick. This saved a ton of time. Shawna was our guide and she was wonderful! She knows all about the area. We were newbies to this part of the country and we asked lots of questions about Yellowstone. She was super sweet to our girls and most important, she kept us safe and made sure we had a super fun rafting trip. Thanks Shawna!!
We booked a 2 hour horseback ride through the store with the Hells A Roaring Ranch. Our guide, Chandler, was fantastic. He was very personal and had good stories about different places along the trail. The horses were very well cared for and easy to control. While the ride itself was just north of the park, the views were beautiful, and offered a nice overlook view of Gardiner. We spent a week in Yellowstone and this was one of our favorite things we did. Highly recommended!
Our guide Alex was Awesome with our participants and took good care of us on the river. The views are fabulous, but loved the special they gave us for the special needs of our clients.
We did a full day walk and wade trip with Flying Pig. Our guide Tyler, took us on the Yellowstone and we enjoyed a day fishing cutthroat and enjoying incredibly scenic views of the Yellowstone River. Tyler was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, helpful an got us into great fish! I would highly recommend working with Tyler and Flying Pig Adventure Company!
My 67 year old dad, my husband, & 3 boys (ages 8-14) said this was the highlight of their trip. It really let's boys be boys & wild at heart. The staff was friendly & knowledgeable. The price is a great value.
Both I and my wife are not very experienced fly fishing anglers. Tyler was our guide for a fantastic day of fishing. After some brief instructions and reminders, we were floating down the Yellowstone River. Within the first hour, eight fish boated with a few almosts as well. Tyler had to work extremely hard due to heavy winds, however for the entire full day trip, he kept us in the prime locations. Not too often when one can say they caught well over 35 or more fish. Tyler was not only an outstanding guide, but easy to get along with. Considering we never met him, we had great conversations all day, learned a lot about the area and improved our fly casting ability by 200%. Would certainly recommend this trip to any and all, experienced for not.
We booked the saddle and paddle package while on our honeymoon on Yellowstone. The horseback ride was incredible. ..the view was amazing and on an actual trail, not a dirt road like some of the other companies do. It was pouring rain for our raft ride but they provided wet suits and dry gear (and even a sweet hat) that kept us warm and dry. We couldn't have asked for nicer, more accommodating guides or a better experience.
