Private Trip Offerings
Our group activities are a wonderful way to enjoy the river and Glacier National Park but if you’re looking to turn up the level of service and have a more private and personalized experience, then consider reserving one of our private tours. Whether you’re traveling by yourself, as a couple, or with your friends and family, a private tour not only provides you the flexibility to depart when you want to, but also provides you the opportunity to interact with your guide on a one-on-one, personal basis. This allows you to ask in-depth questions about the area, to customize how you want to spend your time on river and best of all to create memories with your friends and family versus other strangers. Quite simply, make it your own journey. We can turn any of our normal trip offerings into a private experience. The best way to reserve your private tour is to call our office and inquire about private options.
