We had a wonderful afternoon in Jeremiah's gorgeous wooden drift boat, and enjoyed the extra passenger, Piper the dog! Lots of wildlife spotting, great conversation and, as others have said, the beautiful charcuterie board was a real treat! It was a gorgeous day and we were able to stop for a bit to swim and cool off. Would highly recommend this experience!

Had the most wonderful brunch on Flathead River…. 10/10 would recommend! Thank you Jeremiah for an incredible float today- including spotting 5+ eagles along the way. Best 3 hour river tour.
