This was our families first time river rafting and it was awesome. Our guide Zach was a blast and we really enjoyed the experience, the kids loved getting wet but Zach kept everyone on the raft and we felt very safe with him. We will definitely be back for more and do the full day experience. Highly recommend these guys for a fun day out.
Even though the river was low due to the late date of our adventure, Cory did a great job of getting the most out of every rapid. Cory was able to educate us about the river and park as we floated the river. GREAT JOB CORY!!!
So going late in the season does have advantages! We booked online a few days beforehand & all that was easy & we got a prompt confirmation. Imagine our surprise when we rocked up to find we were it! Hence the private tour with "Batch". The weather was spectacular 85°F & blue skies. As we started with the float section we were treated to Bald Eagles, Merganser ducks with their curious rakish mohawk hairstyles & lots of interesting information on the river, the park ( Glacier) & the region from our entertaining guide. Lunch was shared with a fly fisherman & his 2 beautiful chocolate Labradors (Very well behaved so no food for them) So after watching the fisherman ( a local fishing guide no less) haul in & release fish after fish after fish we presumed that either fly-fishing is really easy or this guy was spectacular at fishing. Then off we went through the white water for the afternoon section which was very exhilarating & cooled us all off nicely. Interestingly we were joined on the river in the afternoon by groups from several other companies in West Glacier & none of them wore helmets like us so this company is very safety conscious- Worth noting! Our photo's were great, I have attached the best one - we're shooting the photographer LOL
The whitewater rafting was excellent, the saddle ride was not so good. The saddle/horse trail was boring and too long, we saw nothing but dead wood, it was so boring, I could have fallen asleep on the horse, we won't do the saddle adventure again. However, the rafting was a lot of fun, the team captains of the raft's were very nice, and knew what they were doing. We completely enjoyed the rafting experience, we would do that again. I rate this adventure excellent solely on the whitewater rafting.
Another mom and I took all of our daughters to Whitefish for the week and the highlight was rafting down the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. The girls had never taken a whitewater rafting trip, so we were happy to show them how much fun it could be. They were a little anxious, but that quickly turned into excitement once they realized they were safe and it would just be a thrilling ride down the river. The rapids were only class 1-3 during the time we were there (August) which was perfect for the girls. Some of the sections were quite so slow, so it gave the girls a chance to jump in the ice cold water before jumping back into the raft. I'd highly recommend it for younger children, but it might be too slow for kids 12 and up.
I took my two kids (ages 6 & 9) on a 1/2 day whitewater rafting trip with Wild Rivers. Our guide Zach, was great! He was very thorough going over safety procedures, and gave a great explanation of everything we were seeing along the way and navigated the bends and rapids of the river like a pro. I felt completely safe on this trip and would definitely use them again or recommend them to anyone thinking of rafting the Flathead.
Wild River Adventure staff were very helpful and friendly starting with the booking process right through to the post-raft bus trip back to their location. This was our first white water rafting trip and Cory made us feel very safe and did an excellent job of explaining paddling techniques and safety procedures. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area geography and history during the raft. Our trip was on the second last day of the season and was over 4 hours long. Great value for your money.
We had an amazing time on our rafting trip. There were a few to chose from, but after calling around, Wild River was the friendliest, honest and down to earth. Our guide, "Batch" had us laughing the entire time, and also clear on what we needed to do to stay safe and work together as a team. What a wonderful experience! Sad to know not much else could ever beat it. Will definitely be returning again next summer for another great ride! "Batch" requested!! :)
Had an amazing fishing trip! All of our group were novices. Guides were friendly and did amazing job teaching and putting us on the fish. Some of the most beautiful scenery as well. Thanks for an incredible memory!
My family of 5 had a great rafting trip with our guide, Molly. Molly did an excellent job explaining the safety aspects of rafting and the importance of listening and taking instruction from her.She was knowledgable in the historical aspects of the river. I was apprehensive about rafting in Class II and III rapids. Molly put my fears at ease because I was confident in her abilities as a guide. I highly recommend this rafting company.
