We took the scenic river half day float. Amazing guides, incredibly accommodating when we needed to reschedule last minute due to being stuck at Logan Pass when GTSR was closed for a few hours due to a motor vehicle accident. Shout out to River who was an excellent guide. All around a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

"Big Mac" was a great guide for this slow float along the Flathead River. She kept us interested and informed along the way.
We took a 2.5 hour scenic river float along the Flathead River just outside of Glacier National Park. Derek was our guide and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable and interacted well with our boys. Very thankful we booked this excursion as it allowed us to see and experience things not normally able to be experienced while visiting Glacier.
It was AMAZING! I would recommend to all my friends. We are 58 and 62 yrs old and it was perfect speed and easy to do.
We had a great time in beautiful scenery. Our guide, Harry, was funny and took good care of us. We would do this again.
Katie our raft guide was amazing. The flathead river is beautiful and serene. If you want a relaxing way to see nature on this beautiful river, I would highly recommend
Fun, relaxing, and lots of good paddling at 1-4 swishes per series. Also enjoyed friendly conversations with fellow rafters next to us.
Kit was awesome!! Traveled with my wife and our 10 and 5 y/o boys who all loved it. Gorgeous float that was chill with great company with Kit at the helm
August ride with calm serene atmosphere. For most of the ride it is slow and scenic. There were a couple of faster moving places. Our guide Reid did a great job of steering while giving us background and pointing out scenery.
This was a great, fun experience. The guides were great and we all loved it. It was me, wife and three kids (preteen). Highly recommended.
Organized and well instructed and easy flow down the river somewhat too calm but a nice raft ride and weather
The guides had lots of personality, and we enjoyed the relaxing trip down the crystal clear water while seeing the gorgeous scenery. Highly recommend!
Bring water shoes and sunscreen.
This ride was so perfect for us. We had a 4 year old and this was her first experience on a raft. By the end, she was bragging about her new friend Garret, our guide.
Highly recommend for families, kids, or even Seniors.
A lovely 2 hr float on the middle fork of the flathead river, guided by a knowledgeable fellow who explained Glacier natl park & the river
From start to finish, this outfit was friendly, efficient, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Our guide Moose, who has a degree in environmental science, also knew so much about the river and Glacier National Park and it's flora and fauna. The views were spectacular and the paddling was minimal because the river was flowing at a good speed. Our guide entertained us with his harmonica playing, too! Our 2 hour float was definitely worth the money, and I'd recommend it as a relaxing way to see the best of Montana.
We did the half day scenic float. Our guide Matt was awesome, telling us all about the plants and animals in the area. We didn’t get to see a bear or a moose, but we saw a bald eagle and chipmunk during our float. The scenery was just stunning and the water was so clear you could see the many-colored rocks rushing by underneath. We consisted of a foursome including a teenager and a senior and all of us enjoyed it very much! Highly recommend!!!
Kit was a great guide! Great to see a young man invest in his job! Very knowledgeable and friendly! Moose was on the other boat, great guy! Throughly enjoyed this and definitely recommended it!!!!
Wylie was an amazing tour guide!! His energy was unmatched and he answered all of our millions of questions about glacier and the river. He was super descriptive and we felt safe and taken care of. Would love to try a white water rafting trip with him. Highly recommend this to friends!
Holly was a great guide~ knowledgeable, made you feel safe down the river. It was a great experience ~ beautiful scenery and relaxing !
Wonderful trip. Caleb was very knowledgeable about local plants and wildlife. I highly recommend this trip!
We were tired of hiking and needed a change of pace. We thought a perspective from the river would be interesting. Unfortunately there wasn’t anything memorable from this trip.
It was a slow pace down the creek, it was perfect. The guide, Wiley, was awesome, will definitely do it again!!
Pretty scenery but a bit boring.. I thought our guide would give us more information about Glacier Park, history, and interesting facts. But it was just storytelling about his other rafting trips. Could have done that from shore. We floated down the river backwards for about 1/3 of the time which made for difficult sightseeing.Charged $7 just to rent water shoes for 2 hours. Overall not worth the money.
Traveled in September. Safe and calm fir all ages. Well organized and well run. Very informative. Excellent staff. Made the trip fun (and funny).
Great guides...Maddie (Maddy?) was incredibly knowledgeble and fun. All the employees had a great sense of humor. It was a beautiful day and a great way to end our week in the Glacier Park area.
Excellent guide, Maddy! We saw deer, eagles, fish and ducks while on this rafting tour. Good customer service and great way to see Glacier on the water. Highly recommend.
The scenic float ride activity itself deserved 5 stars. Our guide Jim-Bob was knowledgeable, comical at times, and steered us in the right direction. However when we got to the boat launch, the guides looked around and noticed the photographer hadn’t shown up. A few riders had cell phones and took a few pictures, but most people left their phones behind. This is deeply disappointing. The confirmation papers clearly state that the cost of professional photos is not included in the price. Makes you assume you can leave your cellphone safely behind. I was counting on purchasing the professional photos so we would have a few great pictures of this special adventure, but unfortunately now we have none.
Our guide Wes was great! Felt safe and were able to enjoy the calm and quiet of a leisurely float on the river!
The Float Trip was very well organized. Each employee new exactly what to do to manage the group to make it a successful trip. It was fun and relaxing.
Great guide! Very interesting and fun. Spend a glorious day on the river and would do it again. The group is very professional and highly organized.
Paige was an excellent River float guide. She knew a lot about the area. She guide us down the river with ease.
