Well-organized, delicious (and plenty of) food, excellent company with guides and guests, top-of-line canoes and paddles, and a beautiful stretch of river.

When it comes to service you will only experience the very best on a canoe trip with the Upper Missouri River Guides. Their respect for the river, environment and you is quite amazing. Camping, cooking and equipment care knowledge are second to none. Six days/five nights on the river is a physical challenge. But if at the age of 72 I can do it you can too.

My float with the Upper Missouri River Canoe Guides was the highlight of my summer. They are a fun crew to be around, provide amazing insights to the history and geography of the river, and without a doubt that was the best food I’ve eaten while I’ve been camping. I would highly recommend booking with Brett and Haley.

I only wish there were six stars so my husband and I could reflect how wonderful this trip was. The scenery was gorgeous, the wildlife amazing and the meals made us feel like were at some gourmet open-air restaurant. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Brett who, we swore, had Superman eyes when it came to spotting wildlife and took us on a hike to see dinosaur bones he’d discovered. We loved every minute of this trip and can highly recommend this company.

We spent 7 days paddling with amazingly congenial and knowledgeable guides (Thank you Brett, Kaitlyn, and Colter), stunning scenery, and 5-star meals. I left the river with a deep sense of peacefulness - the effect of the river itself, the geology, the calm of our guides and fellow travelers. I am so grateful to those who created the Missouri Breaks National Monument to preserve this place.
The whole trip was wonderful! Our guide was was so informed and skilled at everything! We had high expectations and they were exceeded!! Paddling down the river and seeing the white cliffs, swallows and other natural wonders is something I’ll never forget - and hiking in the slot canyons to boot!! highly recommend!
Wanted to paddle through White Cliffs/Lewis and Clark territory for a long time. This trip was superior to what I had ever imagined. Camping where Lewis and Clark camped, the geology, the wildlife, the archeology. All amazing! Our guide Haley took great care of us. She is an incredibly hard working, smart, fun to be around guide. She is an amazing chef, as well (wouldn’t be fair to call her a cook as the food was varied and excellent). Highly recommend for families, groups, or in our case - just my wife and I.
