Highly recommended water adventure

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.

5.00Great float! Friendly staff, easy to find location (they'll park on the street adjacent to the parking lot)). You float on your own for the most part unless you stay with one of the guides or other kayakers. Water is a lil low this time of the year but never had to exit the kayak. Great experience if you have never kayaked before.

5.00What a fantastic way to spend a few hours in Bozeman. Guides Jack and Katie made the experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. The rock formations, waterfowl and lazy river like currents combined for a trip we’ll never forget.

5.00Zack, our driver, was excellent. He narrated our way to Madison River, was fun and engaging. Katie was the perfect kayak guide! Really the best, fun and chill. Quiet when we were, but also pointed things out that we might have missed. She captured amazing photos for us to share. The water is calm and has an easy current. You could be new to kayaking and have absolutely no trouble. The scenery was peaceful and breathtaking. Go.
