If you're new to white water rafting trips, no worries, as you have four miles of relatively calm water to learn the paddle commands and how to paddle effectively as a team. Along the way there are incredible views into Glacier National Park's dramatic terrain.
Once you get to John Stevens Canyon the river picks up speed and your adventure really begins. You'll need all of that practice from upstream to execute the commands in the white water. With rapids like Bonecrusher, Jaws and the Notch (to name a few) your crew is sure to have an exciting time.

5.00We went in mid June, so we had level III-IV rapids and they were AWESOME! The team --biggie and crew-- were wonderful. They made us feel safe in the rapids and they were a lot of fun. It felt like we were at summer camp as adults.
Wylie Davis is a tremendous guide!

5.00We had a great time white water rafting! Oscar and Ava did a great job of making sure everyone was excited, well informed on what to do, and making sure we were prepared/safe. Ava was our boat guide and gave us plenty of information about the mountains/wildlife near us, made plenty of jokes, and did a great job directing us through the entire experience.

5.00It was my fiancé first time water rafting and luck would bring him right in-front of the raft! Devin and Emily, our guides, were so funny and knowledgeable about everything! PLUS we didn’t have to walk back to our buses like other tour groups! We had a smaller group which was perfect! A 3 hr experience felt way too short! Would definitely go back to them!
They canceled our trip twice.

1.00They called the day before and canceled due to unforeseen circumstances’ not giving a real reason. We were signed up for the 3hr white water rafting, they said they could book us the next day for the 1.5hr float, in my opinion a much less exciting trip for the same price which should have been much cheaper. Then they canceled that trip also. I speculate they wanted more participants to make the trip. They are not reliable I do not recommend them they do not fulfill there commitment when you book.
Great trip despite the low waters
