Call or text (406) 219-8882
Which kayak tour should I choose?

Choose Whitefish for a river-to-lake sunset paddle with an upstream section. Choose Peterson Lake near Bigfork for an easier paddle through quiet coves and channels. Choose Somers Bay for a 90-minute daytime tour on Flathead Lake. Check the individual tour page for current availability and requirements.

Where do the LED sunset tours take place?

Do I need kayaking experience?

Review the route and difficulty before choosing a tour. Peterson Lake is an easy paddle; Whitefish includes an upstream section and is a moderate paddle. If you have questions about your group’s comfort or ability, contact us before booking.

What equipment is included?

Tour equipment includes a clear tandem kayak, paddles, and personal flotation devices. Bring water and suitable footwear, and review the “What do I need to bring?” section on your chosen tour page.
