We had an amazing experience with the LED kayaks. Jason was super friendly and made our experience a lot easier with his helpful info. I highly reccomend this excursion as part of your Glacier experience. We enjoyed looking down at the fish beneath us while being able to look up at the stars. Easiest 5⭐️!! P.s. pictures don’t do it enough justice

Such an incredible experience! We cannot thank you enough for the awesome opportunity! Jason was so friendly and helpful! He gave us everything we would need, very accommodating and overall a great dude! Glacier is gorgeous and it was so cool to see it from the water, and the sunset with the lights on the clear kayak made for an unforgettable time. We went to lake McDonald at Apgar village, so we were able to get right into the water. Seeing the rocks underneath us light up was so cool! Thanks again!

Our family of 4 rented two clear kayaks with LED lights. Had a great time on lake McDonald. Our younger and older daughter had a blast. Jason was very friendly and knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend clear kayak rentals.

Jason was prompt, friendly and his gear was legit. Jason gave us clear instructions, great directions and was more than accommodating! He even let us borrow cell phone cases and towels! We'll see him again next year!

Such a fun experience, we took the kayak to lake McDonald for sunset. The business owner is very easy to work with and flexible! I highly recommend renting from him!

We had such a great time clear bottom kayaking. Jason was amazing and went out of his way to ensure our experience was excellent! Upon dropping our kayaks off we asked for food recommendations. He offered us some of his pizza he had just picked up and it was delicious! We would definitely go again! 10/10 recommend.

Jason was incredibly accommodating and flexible. Many aspects of our overall trip did not go as planned and many things were shuffled around, but Jason was openly willing to work with us, all with the goal of creating a memorable time. We were not able to kayak on Lake MacDonald due to NPS restriction over the windy weather causing choppy waves... but Jason has a backup location nearby that is not only as pretty during a sunset, but also much more secluded from the crowds that swarm Glacier. The other lake's dock was essentially all to ourselves, a much needed chill experience to end our trip. My wife and I rowed the clear kayaks out to a tiny island and just enjoyed the atmosphere for awhile. Then rode back to shore with the cool LEDs lighting us up along the way. Many thanks to Jason and his wife and coworker and friendly pup for the memories!

Had the most incredible time taking one of these kayaks out to Lake McDonald in Glacier. Absolutely breathtaking views around (and underneath) us thanks to the see-through material. Everybody we ran into was asking where we found them! Jason made the process incredibly easy and was very friendly during the pickup/drop off process. 100% recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a gorgeous peaceful kayak experience

Jason was so freaking awesome! We honestly had no idea what we were doing or where we were going. He gave us so many options and was so helpful. He had all the extra stuff that we would need (that you don’t think of when going). The views were spectacular and he took the stress out of it
