5Cool day on the float
We enjoyed our time on the float. Makenzie (Big Mac) showed our group a nice time as we had a relaxing trip down the river.
5Great Way to Experience Early Autumn in Glacier
What a fantastic time we had floating on a spectacular September day with our guide, Josie. She was so knowledgeable and fun. She has a lot of good stories about the area and the local color—both foliage and folk.
5Excellent family fun activity.
We did the half day scenic float with Moose as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many fun facts about the river and the animals. It was a great ride and we learned a lot.
5Moosey Wonder
We had a great time! DEFINITELY the highlight of our trip thus far. Moose (Michael) was such a joy! He was super knowledgeable, personable, and genuine. We had so much fun and Moose truly made the experience unforgettable! Looking forward to next season 🙂
5Great tour!!
Trip was great!! Josie, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She made the experience lovely for all in our boat. One thing...wear water shoes as you get your feet wet getting in the boat.
5Big Mac Saves the Day!
"Big Mac" was a great guide for this slow float along the Flathead River. She kept us interested and informed along the way.
