Outstanding Raft Trip - I highly recommend Montana Whitewater. They were extremely helpful in planning which trip suited our comfort level and we couldn't have been happier. We (3 adults) took a private trip, meaning you raft with other people, but have your own guide and raft. Our guide, Emily, was personable and knowledgable, explaining what we were seeing and helping novice paddlers like us throughout the trip. She was also great at pointing out wildlife (we saw 2 bald eagles) and other important features along the river. Everything was very well organized from the beginning (getting outfitted with the proper gear and safety instructions) to the end. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Bear 🐻 float - Great trip down the river with our guide Emily! She has a wealth of knowledge and the river, the area and geological of the mountains/riverbanks. We scored big time by witnessing a mama bear and her cub cross the river as we were launching our boats 🥰.

Family Fun for First Time Rafters - This was a great trip, and excellent for first time rafters. There are a few good bumps and splashes, but overall very safe and family friendly. Elijah was an excellent guide with tall-tales and excellent sense on the river.
