Glacier Raft Company Reviews

Michael was an Excellent Guide! We had a Great time!!

We had a really a fun time. Our guide was Chris, such a nice guy and made our trip down the river really great. The river and scenery is beautiful. Lunch was provided on our full day trip, I had a perfectly grilled steak and tasty ramen salad. Recommend this company.

This is very well organized, centrally located, personable outfitters, guides, and transport folks. Before and during our 8 person raft trip, very clear paddling instructions were given, drills practiced once on the water, and a great time was had by all. Very nice, knowledgeable guides made this time well spent.

A bit 'pricey', but well worth the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raft some serious class III-IV whitewater on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Higher, faster water levels found earlier Spring & Summer, while lower/slower water levels later Summer & Fall months.....nice to choose your 'thrill level' and amenities (riverside cookout or camping, etc.). The 'photo op' was a nice remembrance of a great time on the water.

We'll definitely be back for the extended paddle trips at a different time of year. Also, It'd be nice to have available "pre-season" ticket sales or "specials" to offset the steep walk-in pricing.

It was so fun!!!!! Greg is the best instructor!!!!!

Even though there wasn't a lot of white water left this late in the season, we had a great time! Our guide, Nick, made the most of what rapids we had. We surfed one of the waves in one rapid, spun (on purpose) around multiple times thru one, played "dunk the boat" in another (physics works!) and went backwards thru one. He did a good job of setting us up for hitting the biggest water. We had signed on for the dinner afterwards and they fed us VERY well! We would definately go with them again. Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and helpful.

Spectacular Experience. Phenominal operation,...maybe the best outdoor adventure operation I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Everything is super organized, professional, safe and fun! We had a fantastic time. The whitewater section through the middle fork of the flathead was a beautiful canyon!

The best staff and best rafting experience in Glacier!!!

James was an outstanding guide! We enjoyed a half day float with dinner served at the river's side. Highly recommend!

Awesome company float down the Flathead! Great views, fun rapids, and a guide that may have a chance as a comedian. Very enjoyable half day trip. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Great guide, great day. Everyone I interacted with was wonderful and caring. Will do it again when I get back in the area.

Guide was knowledgeable and fun! Great with the kids! Had a great afternoon trip!

For the 2nd year in a row we have taken a white water rafting trip with them. They never let us down and we always love the guide that we get.

Did the float as we have young children. Our guide Ian was awesome. Great fun was had by all.

Such a fun day! Our guide Patches was fantastic. We learned some interesting facts and had a great time!!!

WOW! What a great activity this was for the whole family (kids ages 6, 8, 10 loved it!). Our guide, Chin, was just incredible and truly made this a 5-star experience! He took time to educate us and make everyone feel comfortable and prepared for each rapid. Chin was very knowledgeable about the area/park and offered super fun facts about Meryl Streep too (who knew) ;)!! His humor was a joy to be around, and we would do this excursion again (with Chin, of course) if we find ourselves back at Glacier. However, next time we'd definitely go for the full-day, because who wouldn't want to spend a full-day rafting these waters (with Chin)! #MACnCHEESE #WELOVECHIN

we have been rafting many times at Glacier, our first time with Glacier Raft Company. Our Guide, Eric, was awesome, we had an amazing time!

My husband and I signed up for a half day rafting trip with Glacier Rafting Company on a trip to Glacier National Park. We got to be the lead 2 in our raft, and it was so much fun! The water is extremely cold (melted glaciers...of course) and refreshing! There is no experience required. You get trained in your raft by your amazing guide!

We had an amazing time whitewater rafting with Glacier Raft Company! We had an awesome guide, YG - Gavin. We went on Monday and everyone loved it so much that we decided to go again on Friday! This was definitely a highlight of or Glacier trip.

Amazing!!! A.P. was an awesome guide, and we had a blast on the Flathead River we even took a dip in the 45 degree water!!

Low water levels had a great time will have to come back when water levels are higher

Took a trip up to Glacier this past week and out final day we scheduled a white water rafting trip with Glacier Raft Company including the riverside dinner. Our tour & rafting guide, Colley, did an amazing job taking instructing the group, telling the history of the the area, pointing out notable landmarks, and making dinner. I would 100% recommend anyone and everyone to plan a trip with them. By far one of the highlights of our trip.

Are guide's Tyler and Alex was great . Did the all day trip with lunch . All the guide's work good together on making a real good lunch

Kane and crew were so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. My family of four were first-time whitewater rafters and were a bit nervous, but the team put us at ease and we had a great time. It's an experience we'll never forget!

Had an absolutely amazing time. The prices were fair and definitely equivalent to the value of the entire experience. The guides walk everyone through the process and make the entire trip from equipment pick-up to the end of the ride an absolute treat. They were all incredibly friendly and helpful. My family decided to do the half-day whitewater rapid trip which was a blast. Our guide, Jameson was funny and entertaining but also professional and informative. Throughout the trip we learned not only the history of the area and the basics to rafting but also a fair bit about the other family that rafted with us. We all worked as a team based on Jameson's instructions. Everything went off without a hitch and the entire experience was full of laughs and memorable moments. Thank you so much Glacier Radt Company for providing us with such a great time and thank tou Jameson for making it even more memorable.

Great fun for the whole family or for just yourself. My tour guide Tate (sorry if I spelt your name wrong) was amazing, funny, and knowledgeable about the river. He even told us the funniest questions he has been asked, storys about past raft tours, best places to eat and worst places to eat. Next time I wanna go on a kayak instead

Great Rafting Trip! Our Guide McKinley Ridenour was awesome! Kept us safe and was a hoot! A must do for a complete trip to Glacier!!

Had an amazing time doing the half day trip with Zac and Jake. They were both informative about the area, the wildlife, and history. They shared funny stories and made us all feel comfortable. Will definitely recommend this company and be back next year!!!

Awesome time! Skillful, entertaining guide! God bless, AP!

We were so happy with our guide, Justin! He made this the best experience! The water was beautiful as well as the scenery. We went when the levels were lower and Justin managed to control the raft making sure we hit every bump, splash and even launched us out of the boat!! Perfectly timed for photos too!! We did the full day raft and had lunch next to the river. Could be one of the best tasting, cooked steaks I"ve ever had, in the middle of nowhere by the river!! Was an unforgettable time!! Can't wait to go again! Justin won't be there much longer, suggest you try and get him before his last day!!! Great company and a nice little store to provide you with all you may need for your day on the water.

It was okay. There were two-three chutes that were challenging. We had kids next to the boat guide that talked the whole time and I think they distracted her as she ran us head into a rock wall. We could have gotten seriously injured.

Wish we had gotten a boat with a male guide as she was not strong enough to maintain control and she talked incessantly.

It would have been nice to hear more of nature. We can get gab anywhere.

Wonderful time with a fun, knowledgeable guide and beautiful scenery!

Went on the full day rafting trip, and it was awesome! Matt, Zach, and Maddie were such a blast! Special thanks to our guide Matt who did a great job in making sure we had the best day on the water. I've been on many white water rafting trips but this is the first one I'll for sure be going back to next summer. Oh and they are great cooks! See you next summer for our fishing trip!

Absolutely awesome experience thank you guys and Justin our guide

It was awesome. First time I have ever gone on a rafting trip and even falling in was awesome. I highly recommend it for everyone.

My family had a fun time on the half day whitewater rafting trip with Slater as our guide. The trip is beautiful and the "rapids" we're fun but fairly tame. Highlights were rescuing a inflatable kayak when the paddler got tossed and saving three swimmers from a swim through some rapids because they stayed in the water too long. Water was beautiful.....and cold for us Southeners :)

Fabulous!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!!! Excellent articulate guide , well planned trip and well thought out attire was provided!!! superb!!

Enjoyed the knowledge and friendliness of our guide: Blake W. This was my children s 1st time rafting (13, 13,15) . He was positive, upbeat, fun, and encouraging while maintaining professionalism. My daughter was so excited to ride one rapid on the bull

We signed up for the sport boat- our family of 4 plus the guide.... so you know who will be the worker bees and where to position everyone. Haha.

Rapids were listed as level ll-lll. I d say 2 weeks ago- level ll. Great experience for first timers or those who just want to enjoy the scenery and verbal narratives.

Appears to be a well run company. Appreciated having the choice of pictures to be taken and then the choice of being available on line rather than waiting for the actual print off.

Amazing views, and lots of fun rapids to go on. My raft guide was Amy, who was nice and good to work with

Russell was great hyping everyone up on the ride to the dropoff, very knowledgeable too, Eric was our guide for the trip who was also very knowledgeable, a great grill cook for lunch, & excellent at making the experience that much more, be weary though they all love their jokes! Was an amazing trip & would love to go again, next time gotta try the sport boat & maybe 2 half day trips to hit the Rapids as much as possible.

Great trip. Our leaders were Jared and we got to meet "Zachsparrow" along the way and had a blast! Food was great also!!

We did the half day dinner rafting trip today and it was amazing! We live local and have always wanted to do this, I'm so glad we did! Colin was our guide and he did a great job! The trip ended and was followed by, appetizers, steak (from a local meat store and BBQ'd outside), potato salad, pasta salad & cheesecake! Treat yourself, you won't be sorry!

Took the half-day scenic tour with rapids alternating with calm water. Enthusiastic guides, fun trip would love to do it everyday!! Went with friends which made it even more memorable.

The Crown of the Continent is undoubtedly the most spectacular ecosystem within the lower 48 states. No matter where you have traveled and what you have seen, the dramatic landscapes in Northwestern Montana will change your perspective on what the words natural, wild and untrammeled truly mean. Although Glacier National Park serves as the platform for most visitors in the area, there is no way to better experience the areas natural power and awesomeness than float down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Despite the dramatic change in water color from early May (aqua-green) to mid-June (crystal clear) the river offers epic opportunities to see wildlife, glacier carved peaks and native trout. Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of fly fishing and whitewater rafting with Glacier Raft Company. They focus on providing a sensory experience. Being on the river is more than just crushing white water rapids and catching trophy native trout, it s also about tranquility. Their staff is passionate, helpful and stoked to be on the water. In many ways they reflect the spirit and enthusiasm that matches the landscape in which they work. If you are looking for a way to intimately experience the park, Glacier Raft Company is undoubtedly the outfit to go through.

We booked a self guided two person kayak trip and it was amazing. The river was gorgeous and the equipment performed perfectly. The guy who dropped us off was great and gave us some good pointers before we pushed off. Thanks for a great time Glacier Raft Company, this is a great way to explore the beauty of Montana.

Staff was really friendly. Store has lots of rafting supplies. Little fly shop with the essentials, flies, rods, clothing, waders, accessories and great advice! They book the guided tours here as well, rafting and fly fishing. Great advice on the "hot" flies and places to fish.

Amazing time! Thank you for making our honeymoon special.

Great fun. Loved it. Just one negative. Photos are not that great and are only from one spot. No variety. Did dinner rafting combo. Food was awesome!!!

Super energetic guides and they make it fun. Rapids weren't very large but he made it fun! Price was average. Yes that's my son...love him

Colin is amazing. Recommend doing the full day instead of half.

We had an excellent experience with this company from start to finnish. The online booking was super easy. The staff were all super helpful and very friendly. Our guide Steve really made the trip for us. He was experienced and very professional. He made us feel comfortable in a new situation that for some of us was a little scary. Thank you Steve and the Glacier Raft Company crew!!

We had an outstanding time on the sport raft! Justin was our guide and he helped make the day a really awesome one. Thank you.

We took our 3 kids on a rafting & dinner trip with Glacier Raft Company and really enjoyed ourselves! Chris, our guide, was great, the weather was beautiful, scenery breathtaking, and dinner by the river was a real treat! I'd highly recommend this adventure while in Glacier!

Fantastic day out on the Flathead. We did the full day white water in late July and it was a pleasure. A little tame for us, but we were a boat full of folks coming off some pretty scary white water experiences so it was just what we all needed to get back on the horse. :) Special shout-out for our guide, Amy, she is amazing, a delight to talk with, a true blue Montanan and expert at what she does. I'd raft nearly anything with her!
For those looking for maximum white water, we went in the smaller sport boat, and I figured out there's actually enough time to do two half day trips in one day, and they put in right at the rapids for the half day. Recommend the full day for families or those learning to paddle, as the first half is all nice flatwater to get your bearings.

All day trip w the best steak!!!! Loved our guide. She was super! Great trip!

Great trip down the river with our whole family: grandparents, daughters & dons-in-law, and 4 grandkids aged 7 & 9. Elise was a terrific river guide patient, skilled, director informative & fun!!

Used them twice, once for rafting once for fishing. Very friendly and enthusiastic staff and guides. Had a great time!

My family (husband and 2 boys: ages 7 and 9) had a great time. Vance was our guide and he was awesome, especially when he included my son to be his helper to steer the boat. My son was so excited and couldn't stop talking about how he was "in charge.". Our friends also had their kids, which are the same age as mine, in our boat. Vance worked great with our group as two families with small kids;. It can be quite challenging to engage the kids and adults.

This was a fantastic trip, especially with my 11yr old Granddaughter. Everything was beautiful and water was at a good level.
Only problem was cooler than usual temps and fierce winds but that didn't stop the fun.

This is my second time rafting with this company and both times they have more than exceeded my expectations. Our guide Nick did a great job getting us through the best parts of the rapids and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area which added to the experience. I at no point felt unsafe during the tour and could tell he knew what he was doing and was well trained.
It was cold and rainy when we came, but the company was very accommodating with complimentary wetsuit, bootie, and splash jacket rental and even lent us fleeces to keep warm.
If I come back to Glacier NP area I will definitely be going again! Thanks Glacier Raft Co. team!

We had a great time with our guide Dusty, and he also cooked a great dinner!
So much fun!

Great river rafting trip. Matt, our guide, was excellent. He gave us all the information on rafting and all the safety instructions needed to safely ride down the river. He was very informative about the area. We were on the dinner trip and he cooked our steaks perfectly. Over all I eoukd rate him excellent.

Took a lovely raft trip down the Kicking Horse. Outstanding personnel who went out of their way to be helpful. Great guide who safely hit the best spots in the rapids. Highly recommended!

Stuff like this is always overpriced IMO so besides that, the guide was fantastic (Colin), school busses were as you'd expect, the bathrooms were AWFUL, strict mask policies (which is fine until you have to figure out where to put your mask once on the river), and a very leisurely float. For our group, it was fine since we had many ages but if you want more adventure, go in the spring. We went in late Aug and my average HR was 79 bpm. (Minimal difficulty with paddling, not scary). Love their hats and shirt designs for the tourist in me.

Great time. You have to wear a mask until you are in the raft. They sanitise everything.

We spent a delightful day out on the river this past week. Our guide, Lee, was passionate about nature and a veritable font of information. The guides made certain that all were included in the experience, especially the kids. All in all, a nice memory for myself and the family.

We had an absolute time with Glacier raft company. Five Stars all around. Everyone was so nice and made sure they kept us safe. Chubbs was our guide thumbs up to him he was a great guy. We had the time of our life and I highly recommend this to anyone

Amazing rafting experience! Even though it poured rain and hailed for half of the trip, the provided wet suits, fleeces and raincoats kept us warm. I highly recommend requesting Jake as your guide. He was wonderful with the small children, provided excellent history and knew all the wildlife.

My family had a great time whitewater rafting & dinner was delicious after a few hours of rowing. Our guide, McKinley, was really inclusive with our younger kids so that they felt like part of the team, even after we launched him in a rapid. The online staff caught a mistake on the photos making the activity more streamlined. All around, it was a fun activity.

Nice place to stop before entering the glacier national park's west entry

Had an absolute blast on a trip to Montana in June. The guides were great, and the river rafting was tame (we only did Class 3 rapids) but a ton of fun. Definitely recommend!

1/2 day with meal. The steak was perfect and Willey was a great guide.

Wonderful trip. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Rented a raft and did a casual float with a group of friends visiting. Had an awesome time! Great people, Great Service.

Have taken three trips with this company, they are the best. This trip especially as our guide Colin was very informative about the river and it's surroundings. Best raft trip yet.

Great raft guide! Nice scenic ride before you get to the rapids!

Do not miss this great adventure and way too see the park

First ever fishing experience and I could not have picked a better place to learn! Jameson was very patient and detailed with his instructions, made a novice like me feel very comfortable with the mechanics...I was able to catch fish!! Loved the company s commitment to following all rules associated with COVID.
