Our float with guide Amelia/Mia was fantastic. The views are stunning and she shared some fun history and knowledge of the area. I’ll recommend for sure! We did a partial afternoon float which was perfect
Overall great fun; a nice break from hiking when at Glacier NP. You could plan this activity in the middle of your week

We did the 1/2 day white water rafting with Luka. We had a great time. Water level was low (end of the summer and not much rainfall) but not much we could do about that. We did hit some class II rapids. Luka was a great guide. There was a lot of focus on safety (but not too much) but also on having fun. We saw a couple of eagles and enjoyed the trip down the river. There is probably more action in the spring versus the end of summer. Overall, very enjoyable an a nice break from hiking.
Fun experience!

Best experience with this company and its guides. Nolan, Hunter and Zoe were knowledgeable and fun. Our group got to ride with Nolan who kept us laughing (and safe) the entire time. We were very appreciative of the lunch spread — above and beyond a picnic. We all agreed we ended our tour with the rafting bug. Thanks Nolan!
Above and beyond (with Oliver)

Class act company from the Lodge to the White Water Rafting trip. Oliver was our guide and what a bright wonderful young man. He greeted us with smiles and as much excitement as we had built up in advance of our trip. Highly recommended and you cannot go wrong with this company and great group of employees.
Amazing

We had the most incredible experience white water rafting! Jesse made the day so much fun, his energy and passion for what he does were contagious. He kept the entire day fun, exciting, and safe. Jesse’s experience really showed, he guided us through every rapid with confidence and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. On top of that, his personality is fantastic: funny, patient, and so knowledgeable about the area. He turned an already thrilling activity into a truly memorable day. If you’re booking a white water rafting trip, ask for Jesse — you won’t regret it!
SOO Great!
