A peaceful morning float with handcrafted brunch and unforgettable Montana scenery.

What to Expect

Mornings on the Flathead are calm, wildlife-rich, and full of subtle beauty. As the mist lifts from the river, you’ll glide through scenic stretches of crystal-clear water while your guide shares stories of the area’s wildlife, local history, and natural wonders.

Each trip includes:

  • A handcrafted wooden drift boat and expert local guide
  • Bird watching and wildlife ID cards
  • Binoculars provided for every guest
  • Hot coffee, tea, and fresh juices
  • A delicious brunch spread of pastries, seasonal fruit, and rotating local specialties (menu varies by season)
  • Bottled water, tonic, and soft drinks
  • Comfortable Pendleton blankets for crisp Montana mornings

Your guide will also point out wildlife along the way — from osprey and deer to the occasional otter or bear. It’s a peaceful and immersive way to start your day.
