Guided Missoula River Floating Tours

Paddle Our Inflatable Rafts Through Beautiful Montana Waters

Looking for something fun to do in Montana? Add this to your road trip planner. Let 10,000 Waves take you, your family, and your friends on one of our tranquil and awe-inspiring Rocky Mountain river tours this summer. Beginners are welcome. No matter the generation, or experience level, we guarantee that the Montana scenery, geological features, peaceful atmosphere and wildlife encounters will have you dreaming about Missoula river floating trip number two.

For those old enough to remember going to the movies to watch Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It, you may be interested to learn that some of our tour routes follow the same Blackfoot River described in the film and book. Will you be “haunted by waters” like author Norman Maclean supposedly was?

Want The Best River Float Tour Possible In Missoula? Explore Stunning Hellgate Canyon!

Imagine lazily floating through downtown Missoula, waving at friendly locals and planning which charming local shop you’ll stop by next.

Perfect for work events and family tours, this two to three-hour river float showcases breathtaking nature scenes and diverse wildlife.

Need a Lift?

We offer a complimentary shuttle service from the river back to the 10,000 Waves shop.
