Family of 6, mostly first time whitewater rafters. This was the perfect trip. Our guide was amazing. The rafting skill and big emphasis on safety was very reassuring to the more anxious members of our group.
Could not recommend this company more as a pick for whitewater rafting in glacier.

Water was too low for white water rafting, but wasn’t told by the company that we wouldn’t be doing this excursion. The trade off was the half day river float trip that was scheduled for the next day. Since we already had that excursion scheduled for tomorrow, we canceled it and will wait for the refund.

the ride down the river was a scenic tour i wanted white water rafting that is the tour i paid for when I confronted the staff they said that it was too dangerous. However, I believe I should’ve been informed before that trip. I definitely would’ve canceled it. I did not want a scenic tour.

Fantastic. Nothing too scary but the views were amazing as we rafted down the middle fork. Our river guide, Spoon, was fantastic.

Rafting was not too challenging

Glacier Whitewater was so easy... the registration, the set up, the short drive to the water. The energy was awesome. Owen, our guide, was knowledgeable and fun.

We chose the adventure tour (not the scenic one), but we have to say it was incredibly boring. If you’re interested in a slow-paced boat ride, it might be fine, but if you’re looking for an actual adventure, this is definitely not the place to go. The most exciting part of the trip was when we decided to go for a swim ourselves. Even the river wasn’t particularly scenic, we certainly wouldn’t pay for this again.

Water was very low but still a lovely raft trip. Not much in the way of rapids. Great weather day and the guidecwas great, Danny.

Bridget was a wonderful guide. She was experienced and provided lots of valuable information. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to have a fun time rafting.
Anna_M, Sep 2024
Gorgeous day, river a little low late in the season (Sept). But still great rapids, guide Kenny great - lots of enjoyable information about the river. Raft company very organized and has everything you need.
Would do this again
VangKou_K, Sep 2024
The staff and location are great. Checking in was easy. We had a good time. Could be the time of year (August 2024) but most of the river was class I (90%) with some class II rapids (4%) and only a few class III.

Tim, our guide, made it fun and gave great information and insight into the history of the area. It was most enjoyable.

Great rafting for first time. Waterflow was low, that's norm in August. Better to be there on May. Instructors are great, fun.

Claire was amazing with our type A family. She made the experience fun and eventful. We saw a bear and survived the waters. 100 percent should do this and ask for Claire!!
Amy_B, Aug 2024
Such a beautiful river and expert guidance from Josh! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the river and alternated between great storytelling and expertly navigating us through the rapids! Our family of 8 thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Kurrin_H, Jul 2024
Our raft guide Riley was awesome! He had us laughing from the very beginning on the bus ride! His knowledge of the scenery was an added bonus, we learned so much. We knew he was very experienced on the river as he shared safety tips and techniques with us that are applicable to any rushing water situation. We had our three kids (11, 9, 6) with us and we all had a blast! Riley made the entire 2.5 hrs so much fun! We had a great time and highly recommend :)
Anna_J, Jul 2024
Such a great experience! I had never done it before and our guide Bridget, was fantastic! She was great at explaining everything and I felt super comfortable and we had so much fun!! The rapids were so much fun and Bridget was very knowledgeable about the area. It was such a beautiful area. We loved our experience and our guide! Great company to work with!

Kristine_K, Jul 2024
Owen was the best tour guide. Made sure all ages in our boat were comfortable and having a great time! He included history of the area and shared fun facts along the way. From scaredy cats to dare devils our family has them all. He made everyone happy!

We thought temperature would be cold to rafting at 60 degree, but Rafting company prepared you very well with wetsuit, jacket, wet shoes and water-prove jacket, it is very excited and fun trip. We have five people and four of them are first time rafting, everyone is expecting to do it again.

Alex, our guide, was great to have with us to compliment a beautiful river (middle fork of Flathead River), scenery, and rapids. While it rained the entire trip, that didn't prevent a memorable 3 hours. All of the equipment was provided (wetsuits, helmets, floating vests, and footies).
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you so much for the review!
We are very happy to hear that Alex helped enhance your Whitewater Rafting experience and that you were able to enjoy the rapids and scenery despite the rainy conditions. It's always great to know that our guides help make our guests' trips so memorable!
We hope to see you again!

Very nice experience especially for unexperienced. They offered free wet suits, once you get past the odor it's all good.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our services! We're delighted to hear that you had a nice experience, especially as newcomers to rafting. We're glad you found our complimentary wet suits helpful, though we apologize if there was any inconvenience and we will try our best to be better about that in the future .
