Family Fun! - Loved the scenic float, and Nicole was amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone with younger kids (we went with two families that had 7, 9, and 11-year-olds). Seemless operation and super friendly staff!

Nice relaxing float down the river - Amazing views and our guide Kelly was amazing. We saw some wild life. And stopped for kids to skip rocks for a while also. All around a great trip.

Scenic Float - We had a great time on our float trip! We did the 2 pm trip. Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was a very relaxing trip after several days of hiking. Definitely would recommend.

Our guide Josi made this trip awesome - This two-hour scenic float on the Flathead River was absolutely awesome! Our guide Josi was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and entertaining. The river moved fast enough that it wasn't boring, the scenery was beautiful, and there were even portions of the river that made it seem like whitewater rafting. Very relaxing. Highly recommended.
