Wild River Adventures scenic float on the Flathead River in West Glacier was the perfect thing for our large group of 17. We had adults over 70 and toddlers. We felt safe, and in the capable hands of Whitney our guide. The views were magnificent, the opportunities to dip in plentiful and even a yummy cookie break to boot. I would happily do this again and again. read more

Well organized, supplied everything needed, amazing and clear instructions from Taylor, Elena, and Drew. Truly top tear guides. Whole trip from start to finish filled with fun facts, history, local tips, information, safety, and even jokes. Could not think of anything lacking or needing change. Perfection. Favorite part of our trip. We had two kids 12 and 7 and they both said it was their favorite part! read more

Great company to experience rafting in Glacier with! Everything from the checkin-in process to the bus trip back were on point, and the guides were awesome. Whitney led our group down the Flathead, and was knowledgeable and fun to have as a guide. The Class 2 and Class 3 rapids that we experienced were so much fun - be prepared to get a bit wet on the tour! Great for families, and would highly recommend. We will definitely be back or another float trip with Wild River Adventures the next time we visit Glacier! read more

DREW AND V WERE THE BEST! Best day of my life. 10000 percent recommend. If you come to whitefish and don't go or have them as guides you made a huge mistake and must fly back immediatley. Wait also Glacier ride company called me fat. read more

I took my family of five on a two-day, overnight raft trip down the middle fork of the Flathead River two days ago. Our river guides, John and Alex, were fantastic. Both are very knowledgeable of the stretch of river we ran, including the whitewater. Absolutely beautiful views and the kids had a great time (ages 19,17 and 14 though younger kids would easily handle this trip as well). Camping out in the bank of the river was unforgettable and I would love to do it again. Very helpful that John is a Michelin rated chef and made an amazing bolognese for dinner! Food was excellent, conversation was easy going and fun. I recommend this company to anyone! read more

We visited Glacier for vacation, and one of the top things we had scheduled was a white water rafting trip with Wild River Adventures. Hands down, it was the best part of our trip! The scenery was stunning, the ride was thrilling, and everything was so well organized. A huge shoutout to our guide, Country Mel--she was absolutely incredible! Her energy, expertise, and humor made the experience unforgettable. She made us feel safe while keeping the adventure fun and exciting. We couldn't have asked for a better guide read more

Christiana was amazing, so funny and entertaining and she clearly loves her job. Such a fun experience, Christina kept us all entertained throughout the entire ride.

I went on the floating tour with a great guide. Very laid back, loved being on the river. Both his recommendations were excellent, the dispersed camping and eating on site at the food truck. Best burger around (better than overpriced Freda's). read more

Came with a big group of family and had an absolute amazing time. The guides really take care of you every step of the way. They had a break half way through where you can get some water and snacks and walk in the river. Gorgeous view and very serene and relaxing. 10/10 would come again! read more

There are many white water rafting companies in West Glacier area. This one has the original permit that has been passed down. It's in a great location just off of highway 2 just a few miles from the west glacier entrance. In may and June they provide free wetsuits and booties. James was our guide and he was great. Professional, friendly, and yet super funny. Felt very safe with him. Would highly recommend them. read more

Fantastic time on the river with their crew. Christina our guide was awesome. Great communication skills and even better people skills, highly recommend for anyone looking to float down the river on West Glacier. read more

Absolutely fantastic trip! Picked this company based on the number of positive reviews and the easy to use website to see what offerings were available. Other rafting websites wanted me to fill out a form and someone would contact me later. SMH Our guide, Jake, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and polite. I would definitely use these guys again and highly recommend them. read more

Wish I could tell you if I recommend this business or not. We made reservations through a 3rd party, Glacier Tourbase, was charged, and received a confirmation email. I called their office 2.5 hours before our tour time and was told they couldn't accommodate us. The person on the phone explained that while Glacier Tourbase had availability in their system, Wild Rivers didn't. They emailed GT at some point after receiving our reservation, but GT didn't email me. Lesson learned - called Wild Rivers directly to make your reservations. read more

We had a great time. Very good guide. They seek for an enjoyable and safe experience.

We had the best time river rafting! The moment we arrived from the front office staff to the guides to the bus driver, everyone was fantastic! We had a big group of 12, half kids and they got us in wetsuits and on the river quickly. Our guide Emory was so much fun, had great river facts, super engaging with everyone and made the trip so fun. He was also great with the kids. I cannot recommend this company more, we loved the experience! read more

What an awesome white water rafting outfitter. My stomach hurt from laughing so much. We went through probably 6-7 really legit rapids and the rest of the time got to enjoy floating and the scenery while learning about Montana from our rafting guide, Jesse. He was fantastic. He was personable, genuinely cared about getting to know us, was knowledgeable about Montana, and made sure we had an amazing experience. I would absolutely recommend going here! read more

Wow, I don't know what to say about this experience except: WOW! I booked this trip through Yelp a couple of weeks before we arrived on our planned trip to Glacier National Park. We chose their Half Day Whitewater Rafting trip as we were looking for something more adventurous than a river float, but I wasn't sure if my daughter was ready for the intensity of their "Wild Side" trip. This seemed like a good compromise and intro to rafting. I was also excited they had an option to add a dinner on to our rafting adventure as the idea of a freshly grilled steak beside the river sounded heavenly. (I was SHOCKED that - out of the roughly 20+ people in our 3-raft group, only four of us had booked the dinner option. People, BOOK THE DINNER! It's affordable and was delicious. But I'll get to that later.) We arrived about half an hour before our scheduled 2pm departure. We checked in and purchased a small tube of sunscreen and some eyeglass neckstraps to keep our shades in place on the river, then we headed outside to be fitted for life jackets and helmets, and meet the three guides who would be taking us down the river. Our group included three full rafts and three individuals who had chosen the single kayak adventure and were coming along with us. Later, when one of the kayak riders fell out in some rapids, our raft was the one directly behind him and we all paddled hard to reach him (and his kayak) - he was fine and loved the adventure. Our guide was Martin and he was awesome! He was funny, super sweet to the kids in our raft, and made lively conversation during the slower parts of the river. As we paddled down the Middle Fork Flathead River, which snakes between Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness, he told us a lot about the history and geology of the area. When the river slowed in spots, he even jumped out of the raft a couple of times for a cool dip - quickly inspiring the youngsters to do the same. The river was cold but they loved it! After navigating roughly 9 miles of this gorgeous river, the whitewater portion of the trip was over and me, my daughter, and another couple from our raft followed Martin down a short path to a secluded spot by the river where chairs, a table, and a cooler full of dinner goodness were awaiting us. Martin set up a handwashing station and set out some appy's and lemonade while the four of us chitchatted and enjoyed the river, and then he set out a super tasty, fresh salad before heading off to the grill to prepare steaks, salmon, baked potatoes (with all the fixin's), and even grilled mushrooms. The steaks were expertly prepared! I admit, I had been thinking we might not get perfectly cooked meat but I was wrong - he made them to order and did them well. There was PLENTY of food to go around, and we all filled our bellies with Martin telling us stories of his adventures and plans for his future (he just graduated from college). The worst part of this amazing half day + dinner experience was that it was over too fast. I would easily and happily book this adventure again and again. In fact, we're talking about going back next summer for one of their overnight trips. I hope Martin is still there! read more

I was very nervous at first as this was my first time water rafting and i don't know how to swim. The team made me feel safe and secure and assured me that they are all very knowledgeable of the route we were taking. Thank you Chris and Bridget for making us such a fun memorable trip! Loved the jokes! read more

That was our first river rafting adventure, and it's all worth it. The office was easy to talk to, our guide was so funny and knowledgeable at the same time, he (Josh aka Ditty) made it enjoyable even for first timers. Very highly recommended. read more

We had a great rafting adventure with Kendra. She told lots of great dad jokes and was a great guide. I would recommend this company. They are a locally owned company and the original permit holders for rafting the flathead river. read more

My dad and I had a wonderful time doing the Wild Side half day adventure with our guide Beaves. He kept us entertained and most importantly in the boat . All the guides for the day were very entertaining on the bus ride there and back. The equipment was top notch and they provided wetsuits and splash jackets for the unseasonably cold weather we experienced. read more

10 stars! An excellent experience. We did the half day scenic float. Maddy was on our raft, Christina was on the other raft. They were both great! During the trip, Maddy kept us entertained with information about Glacier, wildlife, and jokes. Some were even funny! While on the trip down the river, my granddaughter found a stick. She was so excited. Then she forgot it on the bus. She was heartbroken. The next day, we went to the office, and they sent someone to check the bus. Not only did he return with the stick, but he showed her where it had been chewed by beavers and told her a little about it. We couldn't have been more pleased. My granddaughter was eager to try the whitewater trip, but Wild River didn't have any openings during the time we were at Glacier. We decided we didn't want to even try a different company. We knew no one else would be able to meet the standard set by Maddy. We definitely recommend! read more
