Beautiful scenery and peaceful experience

Emphasis on smooth water for those who may be mobility challenged and families with younger children. A good value for a 3 hour river experience. Plenty of beautiful scenery, very peaceful (as long as the guide doesn't prattle on about nothing) and great weather. Recommend it especially for those who don't hike but want to see the area other than from a car window. Staff was very helpful.

The Glacier Raft Company is so professional and the staff is amazing! Our tour guide Aaron was so informative, safe and a lot of fun. He was very knowledgeable about the area and kept us entertained. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a great trip.

We were tired of hiking and needed a change of pace. We thought a perspective from the river would be interesting. Unfortunately there wasn’t anything memorable from this trip.
Fly Fishing is Fantastic

We have never fly fished before and Nick, our guide, was a great instructor, communicator and all around nice man. My husband and I had the best day! Fly fishing is an amazing experience and if you have never tried it I recommend that you do. Rafting down a beautiful river in Montana is only part of the experience. It was beautiful, peaceful, exciting and pure fun. It was one of the best birthday experiences I have ever done and I have done some really amazing things on my celebration day. We highly recommend the experience.

The tour guides on this scenic float are the best! The scenic float was relaxing with beautiful scenery. Great when your legs need to take a break from hiking but you still want to see some stuff. The flathead river in September is slow like a lazy river which lets you enjoy all the sights. Bridgette was awesome! She told us lots of funny stories and shared a lot of great information too.

Pretty scenery but a bit boring.. I thought our guide would give us more information about Glacier Park, history, and interesting facts. But it was just storytelling about his other rafting trips. Could have done that from shore. We floated down the river backwards for about 1/3 of the time which made for difficult sightseeing.Charged $7 just to rent water shoes for 2 hours. Overall not worth the money.
