Guides

Chase Rogers:
Chase, Paradise Adventure Company’s “Desparato John Wayne,” has spent his life whitewater rafting and his passion for rafting wild rivers brought him to Montana three years ago. He has been a whitewater rafting guide here since. Chase’s experience on the water expands beyond his expertise on the Yellowstone River. He has captained boats on the Snake River in Wyoming, the Boudnary Waters of the Great Lakes and the Smith and Gallatin Rivers of Montana, along with many others. Chase is the meistro of the Yellowstone River and trains the Paradise Adventure Company team of guides. Chase was born in Wyoming and raised on a farm in Iowa, which explains his boot-camp style of training. His passion to be the best guide on the river supersedes any in the area for his crew of guides. The Rocky Mountains and the rivers they fuel are his home and his playground and when he is on the water, fun is number one.

Levi Rogers:
Levi “Bruce Levi 90210″ has been guiding whitewater rafting trips on the Yellowstone River for the last three years. Levi has also spent time on a wide variety of waters in the United States and his expertise with the guide paddle show it. Levi, also raised on a farm in Iowa, will not disappoint you as you venture down the Yellowstone River’s wave-blasting whitewater. You will get the trip of a lifetime, and his laid-back and humorous personality and suave “ken” hair are just a bonus! The Yellowstone River is what brought Levi to the area to become a rafting guide. When he is not guiding, Levi is out enjoying the many recreations the Rocky Mountains have to offer.

Abram Boise:
Abram “The Wild Man” was raised in beautiful Paradise Valley, Montana and has grown up swimming the water’s of the mighty Yellowstone River.

His excitement and drive are only fueled more when faced with challenges on the river, and he will extensively share with you his passion for the “true west” here in Montana.

Vincent Gelderloose:
Vincent “Mini Skinny Vinnie” is anything but mini with the guide paddle on the raging Yellowstone River. Vincent was born and raised in Paradise Valley, Montana. You can’t find much more of a local experience when taking a whitewater trip down the waters of the Yellowstone River with him. Vinnie is entering his second season with Paradise Adventure Company as a guide.

Daniel McCann:
Dan “Lieutenant Dan” jumped on board with Paradise Adventure Company this season. Lt. Dan was born and raised in the Paradise Valley and hasn’t gotten bored yet. He doesn’t fish for Bubba Gump Shrimp, instead he fishes for adventures, daily! When he’s not river guiding he is rock climbing, when he is not climbing he is snowboarding, when he is not snowboarding he is guiding and when he is not guiding he is … well … you get the hint. The Lieutenant will share a truly memorable experience on the Yellowstone River and will give you a five-star local experience as he guides you through the crushing waves of the river, as well as provide further advice for any other recreation in the area.

Matt Dettori:
Matt “meatball” has spent most of his life in Montana and the Paradise Valley area. He credits his time in the true west of Montana to his father who brought him and his family to the area as a young child. His passion for the mountains and rivers is unbeatable and his drive for adventure is ever-growing. Matt spent his childhood summers swimming the Yellowstone, which is what brought the little Italian meatball to Paradise Adventure Company as a whitewater rafting guide. Skiing the mountains is his life’s passion and what better way to spend the summers than riding the melted snow through the thrashing whitewater of the mighty Yellowstone.
