The guides here really make the experience special. Justin, Kelsey, Becky, and the rest of the team consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly accommodating. Becky particularly stands out for going above and beyond, like finding kayaks for groups when rentals weren't officially available and sharing insider advice about the area. The Wild Horse Island tours are clearly a highlight, with paddlers regularly spotting bighorn sheep (sometimes 30 or more!), wild horses, and bald eagles along the way. The company handles both kayak rentals and guided Glacier National Park van tours. The kayak experiences get glowing reviews for quality equipment, peaceful paddling conditions, and those magical island stops where you might lunch surrounded by wildlife. Guides share fascinating geological and Native American history throughout. The van tours through Glacier are equally popular, with guides like Michael and Tanner praised for being entertaining without being overbearing. One nice bonus: they're pet-friendly, which is rare for tour companies. Overall, this is a professional operation with genuinely enthusiastic staff who create memorable adventures on Flathead Lake and beyond.
Becky was incredible!! We came as a group of 6, and they were initially not accepting any kayak rentals, but Becky went out of her way rent us some kayaks. She also gave us some great advice for our upcoming trip to Glacier. If you’re dealing with Becky, you will have a great experience.
