    Our family of 5 had a wonderful time! Our guide, Robin, was fantastic! The itinerary was well planned and offered us some great days in Glacier National Park - hiking, boat tour, whitewater rafting. The hotels and meals were terrific. I would highly recommend!!

    It was great, the place is incredible! On the other hand, I would have liked to see more of the animals and not cut out the last excursion...

    Ron

    Asked on January 4th, 2025

    When will you have dates for 2026. We're looking at Jan or Feb of 2026 for this tour. Can we not do the snow shoeing or skiing that day? We're in our 70s and active but not athletic so a leisurely stay st the lodge or hotel might be better. We love the other adventures.

      You wouldnt have to participate in those 2 activities if you didnt want to. We would suggest other options you could do instead of the activities. I will check with my partner on Monday about getting our 2026 reservations on Tour radar. We have them on our website so i know they are ready. Let us know if you have any questions.
