Full description

Feel the excitement of this adrenaline-fuelled river rafting trip on the Flathead River. Soak in the picturesque surroundings while you splash your way through the Glacier National Park accompanied by a guide.

Start your trip with a 5-minute bus ride down to the West Glacier. From there, you will pass through a steep, walled canyon and admire stunning views of Glacier National Park.

Arrive at the path where the middle and north forks of the Flathead River converge to form the southern tip of Glacier National Park. Learn about the flora, fauna, and history of the area while escorting you down one of the most pristine rivers in the world.

You may get the chance to see eagles, osprey, deer, and maybe even an elusive bear or moose. Your guide will take the raft out of the water near the Blankenship Bridge. Get immersed in the spectacular beauty of the area during the scenic rafting tour. 

Finally, take a 15-minute bus ride back to your base where you can take pictures.

The float trip was just what was explained to us and met our expectations. The people were very easy to work with and extremely well organized. Loved our guide. He was personable and engaging, not to mention very competent. Would definitely recommend this experience with this outfit.

My boyfriend was not into rafting at all but I pushed for us to take the easy-down-the stream raft and he was so glad we did this. Our guide, local gal Moira, shared her detail knowledge of the wilderness such as why the stones are different colors, why trees are white vs black during a fire, and chat with everyone in a raft; all the while keeping us safe. The bus ride to the water was fun. We were warned we would not see bear but lots of birds. Well, on our trip we saw a BLACK BEAR AND Bald Eagle. BEST TRIP EVER! You know it's a big deal when the guides are excited.
