4 West Glacier National Park Tours to Build a Day Around

1.Half-Day Glacier National Park Whitewater Rafting Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 390 reviews · from $88Our pick

Paddle the Flathead River from West Glacier through calm water and John Stevens Canyon rapids on a 2.5-hour trip. Guides such as Jackie, Luke, Grace, and Todd lead beginners through Class II and III whitewater. Morning and afternoon departures are available, with gear supplied.

“Our family's first "real" whitewater experience was a total blast! We got soaked with cold glacier water, but it was refreshing in the warm sun and while paddling through rapids. The kids (teen and preteen) had a chance to jump in the water at a deeper, calmer spot towards the end and experienced the jolt of the cold water on their whole bodies. A giant splash fight got us all thoroughly drenched and was a ton of fun. We highly recommend this trip and this raft company in particular!”
