Half-Day Rafting Trip - Kenny’s second favorite ex-girlfriend, Macy, was a fantastic guide! She taught us all we needed to know to make it down the river and had tons of interesting facts about the area. Highly recommend!

Nice float down the river! - My family went down the rapids tour and I opted to stay dry and do the scenic float. :-) Our tour guide was great, had a nice time even though I was solo and the best part was I stayed dry!

Great trip with Nick - This was a beautiful trip. We had a lot of fun. This is a great activity when you have a kid that is too small for regular white water rafting. Our guide Nick was great. Thanks!

First white water rafting experience - Had a really great rafting experience with Margot. It was my first time white water rafting but I felt comfortable as she was very knowledgeable and helpful on the trip. We did the rafting plus dinner which was nice and really enjoyed the experience. Would definitely do it again!

Great day! Great Guide - We lucked out, beautiful day, sunny and warm. Scenery was breathtaking! JimBob was our guide and was absolutely awesome! Great history knowledge with some folklore mixed. Funny too. He Knew about some of the ecology as well. We were pretty impressed. Highly recommend this outfitter and be sure to ask for Jimbob

Dream Float trip on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River - The day started out rainy and cold and because of this, everyone on the float trip was given neoprene wet suits, a fleece jacket, neoprene shoes and a waterproof jacket at no charge so that we would be comfortable for the 2 hour float. After donning all that, it stopped raining! But it was time to go, so on to the bus for the short trip to the river. Great guides. Very informative. Sam Savage interacted with all 9 of us in the raft. The most spectacular day ever! I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'm afraid I'm past my whitewater rafting stage now.

Serene family time - We chose the scenic float due to the wide array of ages in our group of 19 (ages 5-74). Liam and Reid did a great job keeping us all entertained. The scenery wasn’t as exciting as we were hoping for but overall still a nice time.
