About

The Paradise Valley

Paradise Adventure Company is named after where we live, work and play, Paradise Valley, Montana the original entrance to Yellowstone. Once a land of cattle ranches and open fields Paradise Valley has blossomed into a community where celebrities, cattleman and nature lovers live side by side.

Owners:

Owners Patrik and Sarah Ondrus have a combined 14 years experience in Hospitality and Recreation. Patrik was born in Prague and moved to Bavaria, Germany as a young child. Looking for a change in scenery Patrik moved from Bavaria to Montana. He managed a rafting company on the Yellowstone and that is where he met his wife Sarah.

Sarah is from Oregon and moved to Yellowstone in 2000. There she enjoyed her love for horses by working in the Yellowstone Park Horse Department for three summers and front desk of Roosevelt Lodge for one. After meeting and marrying Patrik, they worked side by side managing a rafting company. Now they have an opportunity of owning their own company and could not be happier! Patrik and Sarah are both adventurous and love traveling around the world together.

Yogi is the official mascot of Paradise Adventure Company. An avid outdoorsman and river rafting enthusiast, Yogi brings comic relief to every adventure and has a “fun first” attitude. His official role with the company is Chief Complaints Officer and he hopes one day to be promoted to Head of Security.
