Fun float down the river! - We had a great time floating down the river. Very peaceful with a few ripples. Our guide Margo was a lot of fun and knowledgeable. Would recommend for anyone that does not want the full white water experience.

Beautiful views, great company - We were lucky enough to go on a scenic raft trip as a part of Week of Hope in partnership with HopeKids and Flathead Lake Lodge. What an incredible day it was. Our guide, Bridget, was knowledgeable, kind, and so much fun! It's not always easy doing activities with two special needs kids. Sometimes behaviors can be a bit iffy. But Bridget was ready to just roll with it- or maybe I should say ROW with it-and made it so we had the very best trip possible. It was a slightly chilly day but Glacier Raft Co has wetsuits, booties, and fleeces if you need them. They even had hot cocoa ready for us when we got off the water. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend taking a float with Glacier Raft Company.

Guide AARON 2-hour trip, handsome, congenial, articulately informative without word-filler “likes” in speech nowadays! - Smooth, scenic, very safety oriented. Saw a bald eagle. No helmets necessary in late season. Extremely professional. Exceeded every expectation.

Relaxing Float trip - Glacier Raft Company was great! Very organized, friendly and has many options. Wiley was our guide for the raft trip. He was great! We enjoyed the float so that we could spend time looking at the scenery and actually saw a bald eagle flying over head. I don't think we would have noticed the eagle if we had done the rapid rafting trip.

Best Family Float Trip - Had a great time with family on this very scenic raft trip down the Flathead River which was about 7 miles long. Bridget was our guide and took time to explain the river and its history. We would recommend Glacier Raft Co. For your float trip needs and any of their guides! Dave & Jodi from Alaska.
