5.00We had a wonderful time floating down the river. The guides picked us up right on time, took a great photo of our group, accompanied us as we floated down the river, and told us a little about the landscapes of Bozeman. We would totally do this again!
Would not do again.

3.00There is a highway right along the river so you see and hear cars the whole time. Did not see any wildlife other than birds.
Great experience. Highly recommend!

5.00Beautiful day with great tour guides. Eric, Jack & Katie were exceptional. The 6 miles was enough for each of us (parents, three teens 13-16) to really enjoy the adventure. Would do again and highly recommend. Felt safe. Bring waterproof camera or way to take pictures. Katie and Eric took for us.
