Great way to end a glacier trip!

5.00I was looking for a relaxing end to a very active trip in Glacier, and the scenic float was the perfect option! The scenery was gorgeous, and while I do love a trip with some rapids, it was really nice to just sit back and enjoy the river this time. Our boat’s guide, Harry, was hilarious and made the trip a ton of fun - it’s obvious that he loves his work and is passionate about the river and the outdoors in general. Thanks for a great experience, Glacier Raft!
Great for a tranquil float trip

5.00Overall a great experience. We have done white water rafting when we were younger and at 65 yo decided something a bit more tranquil would be a better trip. It was very nice drifting with current with a few little rapids, nothing too much, never felt like we were in trouble. Great trip. The meet up, just off Hwy 2 at entrance to W Glacier could use some work. Prepare to be uniformed unless you ask directly. Left late due to some late arrivals, just seemed a bit unorganized. Once we boarded bus for short trip to put in, it went like clock work and we enjoyed the trip.
Wylie was an amazing tour...

5.00Wylie was an amazing tour guide!! His energy was unmatched and he answered all of our millions of questions about glacier and the river. He was super descriptive and we felt safe and taken care of. Would love to try a white water rafting trip with him. Highly recommend this to friends!

5.00My mom and I are visiting Glacier National Park so we decided to take the half day scenic float. Niels was our guide for the day and he made it fun! We were able to ask questions and he would always know the answers, he was quite knowledgeable about everything. He kept us from getting splashed much and navigated the water like a pro. If you are or will be in the area this is the company to book with! Oh, and if Niels mom is reading this, know that he still has a job! 🤪. Thanks for a great day! ❤️
Great experience!
