Glacier Guides and Montana Raft is an eco-conscious company based in West Glacier, Montana, offering whitewater rafting, scenic floating, hiking, backpacking, fishing and lodging in & around Glacier National Park.

Our mission is to provide exceptional active travel vacations and experiences in and around Glacier National Park while preserving and protecting Glacier’s unique ecosystem using the best available and ecologically-sound practices.

Why choose us for your Glacier National Park adventure?

#1 Guide Experience, Safety, Knowledge and Service.
Over 90 percent of the Glacier Guides and Montana Raft Company’s 80 member staff returns every season. Rafting guides are trained in Swiftwater Rescue in addition to all guides certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR and NPS Bear Management Training.

#2 Interpretation and Preservation Focus.
Glacier Guides was chosen as the exclusive backpacking guide service in Glacier National Park by the National Park Service. Our focus on interpretation and preservation is unequalled. We teach and practice Leave No Trace on all of our trips and are part of the Uncommon Sense Program.

#3 We won’t overstuff the boat!
Glacier Guides and Montana Raft is the only raft company in West Glacier that puts no more than 9 guests on whitewater trips. Others pack in up to 14 people. What that means for you is that everybody gets a window seat (if you want one), and no hidden charges. We do not charge extra for wetsuits or booties, which are mandatory certain times of the year.

#4 Great Facilities.
Glacier Guides and Montana Raft Company offers a lovely forested property with nice restrooms, changing rooms, a volleyball court, horseshoes, shaded parking, and picnic facilities. Free Wi-Fi and computer to check your E-mail!

#5 Equipment Quality.
Our rafting department uses top quality Hyside boats, NRS equipment and other support gear. Our hiking equipment includes Sierra Designs, Osprey, MSR, Katadyn and Therma-Rest.

#6 Food for Thought.
We think it’s important to fuel your body with tasty and nutritious food. That’s why we make most of our food with local and organic (whenever possible) products. We cater to all dietary considerations and offer lunches on the go, too.

#7 We Do Not Use Billboards!
We believe in protecting the scenic entrance to Glacier National Park so we do not use billboards. We maintain a forested buffer on our 7 acre property along the entrance to Glacier.
