5.00We loved our scenic ride with Garrett. He was informative, told jokes, and showed us the river. I would highly recommend the company but Garrett for sure. We also interactive with guides Phoebe and Nolan plus Megan at the front and pictures.

5.00The rating was approximately 2hrs with a bit extra for setup and traveling to and from the river. Phoe (sounds like fee) was a fun and interesting raft guide, and her story about PJ is very fun. There are some exciting spots to the river, but very calm for someone like me not looking for whitewater.
Scenic Float with Lukas

5.00Went on an afternoon scenic float with Lukas after LOVING the AM whitewater-we just wanted more river on this gorgeous day with our favorite guide, Lukas. The scenic was more chill with a nice beach stop to pick rocks, our latest obsession. Lukas regaled us with explanations of river “strainers”, forest fire history, and even the source of the different species of fascinating colorful rocks we held in our hands from the river. He certainly loves and respects this gorgeous protected piece of Earth, passing on that energy and vibe to his boat guests. Truly an unforgettable day on the Flathead. Thx for the cold plunge and also to Glacier Raft Co, clearly the leading company in this area-smiles and support from all the staff start to finish. 🙏🙏🙏
Relaxing float!

5.00After an amazing whitewater trip in the morning, my friends and I decided to come back in the afternoon for a chill float. Glacier Raft Co. was top notch—the office staff was super friendly and helpful, as were all the guides and drivers. Our guide Lukas was the best! He made everyone in the raft feel safe and included. I loved that he gave everyone that wanted a chance to jump in the invigorating water (which I did—thanks for the extra little dunk and haul into the raft, Lukas)! We also got to stop at a beach and see his super impressive rock-skipping skills! Highly recommend Glacier Raft Co. and exceptional guide Lukas!!!

5.00We did a scenic float this past week and the experience was absolutely perfect. Not too fast, not too slow. Just perfect! Paige and Alex took us down the beautiful river and were so friendly, knowledgeable and fun to get to know! We will book with this company again when we are back up that way!
