Fun Times on the Flathead River - We definitely enjoyed our experience with the glacier rafting company. Our guide, Jakob, was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area and the river. The rapids were not very difficult at this time of year due to the river level. Definitely recommend this experience for a fun day on the Flathead River.

Fun, awesome views of GNP, informative and interactive! - The Glacier Raft Company Team made this whole experience fun, relaxing and very memorable. From the moment we arrived they addressed every question, gave very clear instructions and made sure that our gear was being used properly. We had a great experience and highly recommended this outfit. Special shout out to Hana G! Best guide on the River! She knows her stuff and is very well informed! Request Hana G!

Enjoyable rafting experience - It was a really nice time and we both enjoyed our rafting trip. Not many rapids in September but our guide filled the time with lots of stories about the area, suggestions for eating out, bars to go to :), and rodeos in the area. It was good for us but maybe a little tame if you wanted an exciting whitewater rafting experience.

Worth doing if you are looking for an activity to do - The staff and location are great. Checking in was easy. We had a good time. Could be the time of year (August 2024) but most of the river was class I (90%) with some class II rapids (4%) and only a few class III.
