We arrived on a surprisingly COLD day for August - 70 degrees, wind.........but our guide SAM got us outfitted with Neoprene long sleeve tops right at the beginning and we are so thankful we had these. Sam was awesome, full of energy - making this a absolute BLAST for the 8 of us in the boat. He pushed us toward the bigger waves, made sure everyone was very taken care of, and even got a warmer fleece for Thatcher, one of the boys with us who was on the front of the boat and got quite wet. Sam was awesome - has us wanting to come back in early June when the high water is running to try it out again. The run on the Gorge was one we will remember for a long time.

Absolutely loved our white water raft guide, Amy! Amy told us some hilarious stories—most of which were about the history and “features” of the landscape. Most importantly, she really knows her stuff on the river and communicated clear instructions the whole way. We had one woman who was a little nervous and I believe it was Amy’s positive attitude that helped her enjoy the experience. After the first few rapids, you could tell the woman was enjoying herself! Overall, I would recommend booking your rafting trip with Amy and the rest of the Montana River Guides crew. We’ll be back next June to enjoy the river when it’s a bit higher. Thanks again for the amazing experience!

Our guide was extremely safety conscious and professional. Russ was great conversing with the kids on the trip and encouraged them to take turns riding in front of the raft through rapids. We stopped below Fang rapid so that everyone could take turns jumping from a cliff into the river. The lunch was delicious and healthy. We signed up for the full day trip (5-6 hours). Recommend the morning trips vs. afternoon trips. Staff is well versed when it comes to safety on swift water.

Amazing experience and had a blast floating the Alberton Gorge with Leon and the crew at Montana River Guides on the half day tour. We were initially concerned about the cold, but from the moment we arrived, staff were prepared to suit everyone up, provided the appropriate safety briefing, and we were off and ready to go. Our fearless raft leader, Leon, was a blast and clearly communicated with our group with humor and amusement, making sure we were not only safe but enjoyed ourselves along the way. Would highly recommend the experience to everyone!

Montana River Guides was the PERFECT option for our family's float trip. With a few of us working during the day, I called and the team worked with me to set up an evening float. My mom also wasn't quite up for the rapids and, again, the team helped plan a perfect relaxing trip down the Clark Fork. Our guide brought her younger sister on the trip with us which ended up being a great experience having her emcee the trip. 10/10 would definitely come back for a trip again!

My husband and I had a perfect half day raft trip with Everett. Our booking was fairly last minute and Mike was patient with my questions. The trip was informative and Everett expertly coached the raft occupants which included a range of ages. I highly recommend them!

Our guide was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and geology of the canyon. He was so experienced running the river that he was able to give us the most fun (but still safe) ride through each of the rapids. We saw amazing wildlife including a river otter, several bald eagles and an osprey among other things all pointed out by our guide.
We had a great time. Would highly recommend this family owned company.

We were scheduled for a Sunday trip at 2PM and when we started our way to the site, there was a complete downpour. I called and let them know there was also lighting warnings for this area.
We ended up cancelling just for safety purposes, but was told there will be no refund. Do not use this vendor unless you don't mind their totally absurd cancelation policy and losing $355 dollars, as well as not being offered to reschedule.
Total Robbery!

This was the second trip with Montana River Guides in two (2) weeks. What an amazing adventure with some amazing people. Mike and all the guides provide a fabulous experience and made this one of the best trips ever. The first week we had a group of twenty-four (24) and all accommodations were made with ease. Not only did Mike and the guides provide a fun, professional and informative time on the river, the beauty of the area was amazing! I would highly recommend booking Montana River Guides for a raft, kayaking or river board adventure! Thank you all and see you next year!

Took family of four on a white water rafting trip and had a fantastic time. This company is highly organized and extremely friendly. Everything went smoothly from check in to the ride back. Our guide Cat was fantastic with both the adults and kids. She was extremely knowledgeable and a lot of fun while maintaining a safe rafting adventure. I would recommend this company to anyone thinking of rafting in this area.
