Top Montana Float Trips

Float past gorgeous mountain scenery along the Middle Fork of the Flathead River on an afternoon trip from West Glacier. Calm, peaceful water means this is a great trip for families, and you’ll learn about Glacier National Park history, culture, plants, and animals as you float. Provided gear helps keep you warm and comfortable in a wide range of weather conditions.

Explore Glacier National Park's Wild and Scenic border river, the Middle Fork Flathead, with our highly trained, friendly, interpretive river guides. First, float a relaxing stretch of river. Next, your guide selects a secluded spot for a delicious, buffet style lunch. Our kitchen sources locally and organically whenever possible, and you’ll taste the difference! After lunch, explore 9 named rapids - typically rated class II and III. Bonecrusher is always a favorite! This is a fun and splashy adventure through pristine, glacially fed waters. Finally, float beneath Glacier’s historic Old Belton Bridge. Your adventure ends in West Glacier with a 5 minute bus ride back to our campus. Trips depart rain or shine. Trips meet at 9:15am, 9:45am departure. No experience necessary. No maximum weight - must be able to buckle a 58" chest life jacket. Minimum age 5, minimum weight of 50 pounds. Minimums may be higher if river levels are higher, as they often are in the spring.

Experience the thrill of white-water rafting combined with the majestic scenery of Glacier National Park on a rafting trip along the Flathead River. Rafting offers a unique vantage point for taking in the scenery and is an ideal platform for spotting wildlife within the remote park. Plus, the team sport gets your group working together and engaging, making it ideal for families, friends, and co-workers.

Looking for some whitewater while avoiding white-knuckle rapids? The 3 hour Upper Half Day trip is perfect for families, first-timers who are timid, or for those who aren’t strong swimmers – especially in June when we have high water. Enjoy fun rapids such as Hilarity Hole, Screaming Left, and Killer Fang. These rapids offer plenty of splashes and relatively easy navigation without the challenge of long rapids like the Mad Mile. This trip is packed with splashes and smiles!
