This locally owned raft company made my first white water rafting trip one to remember!…read more They were able to graciously accommodate a last minute booking change the day before. Had all the equipment we needed to stay warm on a chilly day with scattered showers. Taught us everything we needed to know to navigate the waters safely. Provided some great shopping, dining, and hiking recommendations. And all the tour guides were lowkey comedians who should consider riffing some of their jokes off at a comedy club's open mic night. Thank you guys! We had a blast!

If you end up with Haley, it simply won't be a good experience, and maybe an awful one. Jillian and Natalie are knowledgeable, caring and fun. I would definitely recommend either as a guide. The bad: Sadly we had 1 of our 3 days led by Haley. She is hostile, aggressive and outright rude to anyone on the trail whether in her group or not. She seems to have the technical knowledge, but lacks the skills to lead or inspire. Jillian and Natalie are top notch!

We just did a guided fly fishing trip (as first-timers!) with Caleb from Montana Fishing Guides and…read morehad the BEST experience! I have to back up to when I first booked. I sent an email inquiry through the website to ask a few questions that were quite possibly stupid because, again, first-timers. Within an hour, the company owner, Rob, called me. We spent close to 30 minutes on the phone and he answered every single question, then mentioned he had the perfect guide for us. THEN, he even rearranged some things to accommodate our travel schedule. One of my primary concerns was that we choose a company appropriate for newbies. I've heard from friends they got a guide who had no interest in "teaching," and I really wanted this to be good on both sides. I needn't have worried, because we couldn't have been better matched! Caleb was ultra professional, extremely patient, and a ton of fun (important when you're spending the day on the water together!). We each caught at least one fish plus had tons of bites, so it was definitely a success. If our schedule had allowed an extra day, we would have booked a second trip! Rob followed up with me again shortly after he knew we were off the water, which impressed me even more. You just do not get that level of personalized service with one of the big companies. We haven't stopped talking about it and will absolutely book again next season! Thanks so much, Rob & Caleb!

Views views views!…read more Great change of pace after days of hiking. I rented a 1 seater kayak from glacier outfitters. It may look like a far walk but it isn't! Totally doable. The staff was very nice to explain everything to me. They showed me the lake map and where to go and not go, etc. Instructions were very clear. I rented 2 hours (they have you 15 mins for the round trip walk). The walk from the rental to the lake I thought was a bit of a walk but it was not bad to haul the kayak there, they are on wheels so it is not bad. You leave the wheels near the trees. Returning the kayak was fairly easy as well. There are lockers available that you can put your stuff if you don't want to take it with you. The minimum number of hours is 2 hours and it was 40 something. Overall it was a good experience! Everything was great. Would recommend and use service again.

We made reservations at Glacier Outfitters for kayaks for the day. (highly recommend reservations)…read more There is a small parking lot and some street parking but it was not a busy day and it was full. We had people waiting for our parking spot when we returned to the car. I'm not sure where people would park when it gets very busy. Perhaps there is another parking lot I didn't see. When you walk up to G.O. you sign waivers, pay the fee and are gathered in an area for instructions. The man who provided the instructions was very informative. Advised us of areas in Flathead Lake to avoid including a rough water area and a few bald eagle's nests as they recently laid eggs. After instructions, you are provided with the kayak, paddle, life jacket and a cart to roll the kayak down to the lake. Now, I'm pretty strong but the kayaks are heavy. I did think to myself, how would someone with less strength get this kayak down to the lake? Something to ask about if you are renting as it is several yards to walk with a heavy kayak. The carts were easy to remove and stash while we spent the day in the lake. When you finish kayaking, you simply load the kayak back on the cart and roll it back to G.O., drop off gear and you are done. We had a great experience with Glacier Outfitters and would use them again.
