Must do in Glacier National park - Great Northern rafting company was a great experience. Our guide Addie could not have been better. She was so knowledgeable and so friendly. We enjoyed our 3 hour adventure and would love to come back and do it again! Beautiful scenery, beautiful water and all around just plain fun!

Rafting fun for the whole crew - Our group of 10 booked a half-day white water rafting trip with Great Northern Rafting on August 28, and we had an amazing time! Because of our group size, we split across two rafts, but everyone still had a great experience. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff made everything seamless. You can even rent water shoes for just $2.50 if you don’t have snug-fitting footwear (no crocs or flip flops allowed). Their little shop is handy too—stocked with water, dry bags, and other essentials. After check-in, we were bused about 10 miles down the road to the launch point on the river. The water level was a bit lower than usual due to lack of rain, but it didn’t take away from the fun. We still hit a few good rapids, and the overall ride was a mix of mild excitement and relaxing stretches. The scenery was absolutely beautiful—floating right outside Glacier National Park felt unforgettable. The guides were fantastic: personable, funny, and clearly very skilled. They kept us entertained, made sure we were safe, and navigated every rapid with confidence. We would definitely recommend Great Northern Rafting to anyone visiting the area and will absolutely book with them again next time we’re back. A great way to experience the river and take in the incredible Montana landscape!

Great Experience, Awesome Guides! - Great experience for first time rafters and great family owned business!! All guides were enthusiastic and well trained. Todd was our guide and made the ride super fun with extensive knowledge of the river and history of the park/surrounding area. He kept us laughing the whole time while keeping safety a priority. He even gave us a few fishing tips when we saw him on the river later that day! All gear is provided, very clean, great location!
