What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
Is whitewater rafting dangerous?
Whitewater rafting comes with an inherent assumption of risk and it is your responsibility to adequately assess such risks before participating. Professional river guides undergo extensive training and are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to keep both themselves and you safe while on the river.
How likely is it to fall in the river? Will I get hurt?
All whitewater rafting participants assume the risk that they may fall into the river. Consider the time of year when you plan to book and the relative river flows at that time (i.e. you're more likely to fall in during the run-off season). Professionally trained river guides will provide safety instructions prior to departure and are certified in wildness first aid and lifesaving techniques.
What are the river flows currently like?
Rivers flows across Montana will change with the seasons and weather patterns. Traditionally, the early season (May/June) will bring more run-off resulting in faster flows and larger rapids while the later season (July-Sept) can see reduced run-off and slower flows with milder rapids. If you'd like to most current reports please contact Glacier Tourbase directly.
