Fun experience! - We had a wonderful time floating down the river. The guides picked us up right on time, took a great photo of our group, accompanied us as we floated down the river, and told us a little about the landscapes of Bozeman. We would totally do this again!

Highly recommended water adventure - Beautiful 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.

Relaxing float with great views - Great experience - the guides were great and the afternoon float was super relaxing with some great sights. We’d recommend if you want to get a different perspective of the wonderful landscape.

Recommend - Great 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.

Would not do again. - There is a highway right along the river so you see and hear cars the whole time. Did not see any wildlife other than birds.
