Wonderful view - an option for everyone - Neither of us had ever been on a kayak. The views cannot be beat, and the team was outstanding. The Madison is calm and fairly shallow for most of the trip. This kayaking experience is accessible for everyone...I highly recommend it.

Great guide & a beautiful float! - Such a beautiful float & an incredible guide! Super easy ride, great for beginners. The wind definitely kept us moving. Zach, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the area and river. Learned a lot about the history about the area.

Great ride down the river and great guide! - Erick was wonderful making sure we were all comfortable, relaxed and enjoyed our paddle down the river. Answered all our questions along the way and provided guidance to ensure we tracked on the right side of the river in specific sections. Did a great job taking pictures and sharing them afterward as well.

Fantastic experience!!! - Eric and Zach were great guys. They had extensive knowledge and a passion for the area and shared the information enthusiastically. We were fortunate to see an osprey dive successfully for trout and Zach spotted a bald eagle perched from a mile away on the mountain! Incredible experience. Very kind and easy to talk to guides. Eric and Zach took great care to make our experience enjoyable. Amazing choice for activity! Great for anyone, even those who have never kayaked. The Madison river was very calm and surprisingly shallow.

Great float on the Madison River - First, our guides Julia and Zach were awesome! They were both friendly and informative about the kayaking tour and the surrounding area points of interest. Zach was an excellent driver. He was responsible for getting us safely to and from our starting and ending points. Julia was an excellent kayak guide. She gave us great rock formation info and a heads up when we were about to pass interesting scenery when floating down the Madison River. It was a peaceful float.... our family loved it!

A sunny float down the Madison - This was a super chill enjoyable trip down the river. We had done an aggressive hike in the morning so we were just ready to kick back, float and do just a little bit of paddling. The sun was out, the water temp was perfect and day was beautiful! We chose the 1pm timeframe hoping for the sun and got it! Our guides were laid back and fun too!
