    Cortlin and Brandon were fantastic tour guides! Highly recommend this business, they're fun and professional and helped my first timers paddle through the fun rapids.

    The rafts and the bus!

    We came here as a group of 10 for a work event. I've been rafting numerous times across the world (Tennessee, California, Costa Rica), and I have to say that these guides (we had Cliff and Brandon) and company were the most professional and competent guides I've ever had on a rafting trip, and others in my group felt similarly. You could tell they knew their stuff and not just how to paddle down the river, but really read whitewater - at one point on our trip the river dam released more water, and our guide was able to change his plans and adjust course mid-tour to account for the change in the rapids. We had a few anxious folks on the trip and afterwards they remarked how safe they felt. Also, the water was still pretty frigid when we went, and they have wetsuits and such to borrow to protect you when you go out. Really nice touch and helped our experience a lot. Overall I would 10/10 recommend this company and would absolutely do it again the next time I'm back in this area. Thank you guys for making it a great experience!

    Some of the rapids from above that we found the day before...on accident!

    I have never been White Water Rafting, This company made me feel completely comfortable and taught me what to do in case of a flip! Brandon was an amazing guide, Bruce a perfect accomplice! Enjoyed this experience so much! I actually paid in advance so I was committed and wouldn't back out!

    I highly recommend Flathead raft company! We had an amazing experience with epic views and an awesome guide. All of the staff worked together to provide a safe, comfortable and fun trip. Be prepared to have a great time with great people in a truly magical part of the world! Included is a picture of Brandon, our guide, doing a handstand on the raft after we completed the rapids.

    Took 14 family members on a float trip. Great time. Highly recommend Flathead Raft Company. They are very professional, personable and good natured.

    My family and I did our first Whitewater adventure here a few weeks ago in our first ever visit to Montana. Let me start with the obvious, the ride, the scenery, the water, it was all absolutely beautiful. An unbelievable experience on its own. What makes this 5 stars (I would have given it a hundred if that was possible) was the level of care, professionalism and customer service that the entire operation showed to every one of my family members for the duration of our time there. They are the nicest people who shared amazing stories, history and laughs with all of us. They were so great with my daughter when she got a little scared and were in tune with and accommodating to all of us on the raft. Just an absolutely incredible bunch of people. If you're considering rafting here, don't go with anyone else, these guys are exactly what you're looking for! My family will be back to Montana, and when we do we will absolutely book another adventure with Flathead Raft Company!

    My husband, sister, brother in law and I all came here for the morning 10 am raft adventure. It was a blast! Brett was our guide and he did such a great job explaining what we need to do, as well as the history and facts of the area around us. Everyone who works here was so upbeat and truly love their jobs. They all made the experience so much more exciting and fun. It was a cold day and rained a little, but it was still all so worth it. The three main rapids we descended will definitely get your adrenaline and blood pumping. These rapids were categories 2-4, however Brett told us they can change due to the level of the water. The very last one we went on was the most intense (category 4) and we did end up flipping. However, it does seem like flipping is more of a rare occurrence. It was a bit startling when we flipped, but it ended up making our trip that much more memorable and exciting. There were no big rocks to hit when we flipped, and the water was pretty deep so we were all able to get back on the boat okay. We also got amazing pictures of us flipping from the photographer on staff. We paid a bit to get all the pictures, but it was so worth it to have all those memories forever to look back on.

    We had a really amazing experience whitewater rafting yesterday! The guides and staff were super friendly and fun! Definitely recommend! The river was beautiful and the rapids were not too extreme. Our guide (Izak) was super nice and knowledgeable about the river too. We will definitely be back to ride the river again with this business.

    We rented a small (18-foot) ski boat for use on Echo Lake. The boat turned out to be a Yamaha jet…read moreboat, which was a new thing to me, though I've used jet skis before. The boat showed a little wear and tear, but was generally in good shape. Fun boat. Zippy. A jet boat is a good idea on Echo Lake, which has shallow spots. Shockwave hauls the boat to your preferred location, puts it in and takes it out. Easy for you. Our boat was put in on time and taken out on time. Staff was courteous. No problems. If I were going out on Flathead Lake, or if the water was choppy, I'd prefer something in at least the 20' range, but a lot of people like these little scooters.

    I was in a pinch when I decided to rent some jet skis day of on a weekend!! I tried both places in…read moreWhitefish and they were both booked solid. I decided to widen my search to all of Flathead Valley and was a little disappointed when I had a message that said their machines were down and if I left a message they would get back to me... I left a message doubtful that anyone would ever get back to me. Less than 10 minuets later they returned my phone and confirmed they had 2 jetskis available. They also delivered to Whitefish at no extra cost!! 2 hours after we called them they had 2 2014 sparks in the water fueled up with extra gas (so you don't have to pay the $8 a gallon at the marina)!! It was a little more expensive than another place I called but they were unavailable and only had 8 hours instead of 10. Boy did we have fun! When we went to pay for fuel after (you pay the difference for the rentals and the tanks he brings) we were charged pump rates. Very exited for this new business in the Valley and I wish them all the best of luck! They also have an assortment of towables as options with the jetskis.
