OMG!!!! What an amazing trip! We have never whitewater rafted before and had the time of our lives. Our guide (Cam) was absolutely amazing. He was so passionate about rafting and took the time to share a bunch of history about Glacier National Park and the Middle Fork Flathead. His work on the raft was terrific and we all got wet (which was the best part)!!!!! Our entire family really enjoyed it. What a blast. Glacier Guides really has it down to a fine science and will go again!

Amazing trip! Guides were wonderful and so was the food. Actually did the 2 day trip. Glacier guides provided all the equipment and it was wonderful. Always felt safe but definitely experienced the excitement and beauty of the river

There is just nothing quite like relaxing by the river, under the dark, starry Montana skies. Thanks for choosing us! Cheers, Courtney

First...this was an awesome experience. I was on a solo trip to Glacier and wanted to get to know the area a little better from people who live work and play here. I'm not going to post pictures because Glacier just needs to be experienced first hand. There are several options for hiking/rafting companies but here is a few reasons why Glacier Guides and Montana Raft deserve your business... 1) I arrived a few minutes late for my hike and missed my van, there was a miscommunication but Courtney...Glaciers Marketing Manager said, "Come on! I'll take you to the trailhead myself!" In a great and familiar southern Georgia accent (I'm from North Carolina). She gave me a great tour on the way up...and some places I needed to visit. 2) Jordan was a great hiking guide...she was very knowledgeable of the area...I was surprised that she had a social work degree and not a biology one instead! I met some great people on the hike as well. Jordan gave some great suggestions for safer solo hikes for the rest of the week, which I did find time to do a couple of them. Ask for Jordan if youre hiking! You won't regret it. 3) Whitewater Rafting was awesome. I have canoed and kayaked my whole life but first time rafting. Our boat guide was James...we became Team James Deamons. Well thats what I named us anyway. James was also very knowledgeable about the area, the river and made the whole day fun. Addie and Joe were the other 2 river guides and they also kept the trip and bus ride fun and interactive. Next time out I'm excited to do an overnight into the park! So...for my 2 cents Glacier Guides and Montana Raft will be my choice for my next visit to Montana.

It's not too often that the one who responds to the TripAdvisor reviews is named in one of them! Thanks for making my day - I very much enjoyed riding up to Marias Pass with you. And thanks, too, for your detailed review about why other travelers should choose Glacier Guides and Montana for rafting, hiking, fishing, and biking! We are grateful. Safe travels to you and we'll see you again one day for overnight rafting and backpacking. Cheers, Courtney
