THE COMPANY BEHIND THE GLOW
Montana’s first & only
Montana’s first & only
LED kayak tour.
RMG Kayak Co. was built around a simple idea: help people experience Montana’s water in a way they haven’t before. We pioneered LED kayak tours in Montana, combining transparent tandem kayaks with colorful lighting as daylight fades.
Our home is the Flathead Valley. Our experiences range from sunset paddles in Whitefish and near Bigfork to daytime clear kayak tours on Flathead Lake and self-pickup rentals in Bigfork.
Whether you’re visiting Glacier National Park, planning a date night, or bringing family and friends together, we help you find the paddle that fits your people.

How our LED sunset
How our LED sunset
kayak tours work.
An evening on the water, with the details taken care of. Our LED sunset experiences last about 90 minutes; departure times follow the season’s sunset.
Paddle into the evening.
Take in the shoreline and mountain scenery as the light softens. Each location has its own character, from the Whitefish River’s upstream paddle to Peterson Lake’s quieter coves near Bigfork.
Stay for the glow.
As daylight fades, LEDs illuminate the transparent kayaks and the water around them. Share the moment with your people and enjoy a whole new perspective on a Montana evening.

MEET ALBERT · FOUNDER & FLATHEAD VALLEY NATIVE
A local idea.
A local idea.
A company built to share it.
Albert grew up exploring the Flathead Valley’s lakes, rivers, and streams. He started kayaking at six and was taking visiting friends down the Flathead River by sixteen.
That love of the water became RMG Kayak Co. Today, Albert and the RMG team share a different side of Montana with visitors and locals alike, with clear kayaks and evenings that keep glowing after sunset.
