Our guide was amazing. She knew the river and how to easily glide past the rocks. It was a relaxing float trip.

Mellow, mostly class 1 rapids, a 7 mile trip with our guide paddling like crazy and telling us about the area. A fledgling bald eagle followed us much of the way. It was extremely smoky that day ( over 300), so limited views but our guide was fun.

This was a wonderful experience for everyone from ages 5 to 76! Todd was a wonderful guide, full of interesting information for all. Views were absolutely beautiful. Not sure who had the best time… but I think it was the kids!

Sarah our guide navigated us through beautiful scenery and was a wonderful guide. She and our bus driver Jacob also arranged for a black bear to run in front of our bus on the way back to the facility... lol

It was well Organized, informative and beautiful scenery . They prepared us for what we needed for float, what to expect on float as well. We had a short bus ride to water and got right in boat and floated the lake. They even stopped for a swim.

It was calm and relaxing but if I am being totally honest, a bit boring. The guides were awesome, though, very friendly.

It was a lot of fun. It was a really chill experience since I traveled with small (not teenage) kids. Billie the guide was amazing. Really great personality and made it even more fun. Sarah was in the other raft and she was great too. Scenery was great of course.

The scenic float was a beautiful and relaxing experience. Our guide Addie was very knowledgeable and skilled, I would have felt comfortable with her on one of the whitewater floats as well. Highly recommend!

Todd was an excellent Guide. Mika assisted in adding the appropriate gear before transporting us the launch site. Both were most accommodating to the senior participants which dominated the float.

In summer, the water is low and I would recommend doing the faster section. Ask them the level of whitewater level and if it is one or two, it might be a better experience. We had a good time on the easy part and the people and team did great.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We are so thrilled that you still enjoyed your rafting trip with us! End of season the water does get unfortunately slower but our guides are trained to make sure that they still make the trip fun and splashy! We are glad to hear that you still had a good time!
Erin_R, Aug 2025
This was very fun! The river was so beautiful and had different scenery throughout the trip. Our guide Maddie was entertaining and experienced. Loved the scary bear story! The whole trip was very relaxing even though it rained at the beginning of the trip.
Sandra_M, Aug 2025
The scenery is incredible! Our guide and bus driver were friendly, capable and engaging. We found our float down the middle fork easy and relaxing. A perfect ending to our visit to Glacier!!
Jocelyn_H, Aug 2025
It was wonderful to take this as an extra side adventure with our tour group. It was easy to participate as an older group. For the ones young at heart we were able to take a swim the the beautiful box canyon. Which I would highly recommend. You have the opportunity to see the area from a different prospective while having an amazing adventure.
Jane_W, Aug 2025
It was a lovely float in the pristine water and natural beauty which is Montana. Swam next to raft and cooled off - our guide Owen was personable, professional and adorable. Totally recommend this trip and Owen!
