Lots of good views, laughter and stories! - The water is low this time of year, so the rapids were grade 1 and 2. We had a wonderful guide who grew up in the area and therefore knew about history and geography of area. He also had lots of stories to tell and did it well. Perfect family trip with an experienced guide.

Brock, you rock! - Rafting with Brock was seriously epic! This dude knows the river like the back of his hand. He had us riding those crazy rapids like pros, all while dropping some wild stories about the grizzly encounters. Thanks for the rad day on the water!

Whitewater Thrills - My wife and I took the Half Day Whitewater Rafting Trip through Glacier Raft Company out of West Glacier. Everything connected to this trip was great. We got to the site about 30 minutes before leaving and all the guides were outstanding in getting us fitted for helmets and personal flotation devices, and answering any questions we might have. Everyone was more than helpful making sure we were ready. All of the help inside the business was great and we felt very taken care of in preparation. After listening to a few rules and regulations we boarded a bus that dropped us off upstream in the Flathead River. There were 4 rafts going down out of that bus --- our guide was Jimm Bobb and he was outstanding. It was a lot of fun and definitely a great finish to our time in Glacier NP. I would recommend this company if you are interested in a float trip or whitewater rafting. Every aspect was handled very professionally and the trip was very enjoyable.

Another wonderful experience! Az ❤️ - This was our 2nd year doing this with glacier rafting and we had another great experience! Everyone working there were really nice and helpful. Our guide Brock was awesome! He was knowledgeable of not just all things rafting but of the history of the surroundings too. He led us down the river with great direction! He answered all and any questions and shared some of his own fun/funny experiences! Thank you Brock for such a great experience for all of us! Paddle high five!

So Much Fun! - We had a great time and Randy was a phenomenal guide! We went in September, so we knew the water would be lower (i.e., the rapids were primarily at a class I and II level), but it was still so much fun! The 1/2 day trip (2.5-3 hours) was the perfect amount time to be on the river! Since we had not planned ahead to raft on our vacation and therefore had not brought appropriate footwear, I also appreciated the water shoe rental opportunity. Hopefully, we’ll be able to raft with you again sometime in late spring/early summer when the water is higher and the rapids are bigger!

PERFECT activity! - The staff/guides were great (shoutout to Jake - our amazing guide!); the river scenery was beautiful; the rapids were fun yet completely 'doable' for all ages/levels; and don't skip the offer to jump in the icy water at the swimming spot. It's refreshing!
