Fun day for rafting the Middle Fork of the Flathead River in Glacier

Melanie_R, Jun 2025
Arrive early for check in and bring hydration for full day. Do the full or half day, skip the riverside dinner.

Highly recommend

Best White Water Rafting Experience!

Erica_S, Sep 2023
Out of all of the White Water Rafting companies by Glacier NP, I am so happy that we chose this one. Alex our guide was incredible, personable, fun, and very knowlegable to the area. The whole crew of guides were fun and entertaining. This company was prompt, helpful, professional and very personable. The Glacier Raft Company had all the items we needed, and were very thorough with safety and directions. We all felt we were in very capable, knowledgable, safe hands. My 75 year old mom, to my 12 year old son had a blast! We will definantly recommend this company to others. If you are wondering about the meal, it was fabulous! I would highly recommend having the dinner after, it was the best meal we had in Montana! Glacier Raft Company really knows their business, and how to make it a wonderful adventure for all!

Grady was an excellent boat host. We had a wonderful time & while the water level was low, the beautiful weather made up for it.
