Experience the epitome of Montana river adventures with our curated selection of guided “glamping” trips in the breathtaking Missouri River Breaks. For those seeking an authentic Montana experience, our guided excursions eliminate the guesswork, ensuring you make the most of your limited time on the river.
Let Missouri River Outfitters’ seasoned guides lead you to the prime camping spots, the most picturesque hiking trails, and handle all camp logistics, allowing you to focus on the beauty around you. Our guides bring the river’s history to life, sharing insights into the flora, fauna, and captivating geology that surrounds you.
Indulge in a gourmet menu that showcases local beef, Northwest salmon, vegetarian and vegan options, fresh produce, and delectable home-baked desserts. The best part? Our guides take care of all the cooking and cleanup, freeing up your time to savor the scenery and solitude. Picture yourself by the river’s edge, enjoying a chilled chardonnay or a cold, local Montana craft-brewed beer as you witness breathtaking sunsets. Alternatively, start your day with a cup of fresh-brewed, French-pressed coffee while the sun rises over the prairie mist. These moments are the essence of an unparalleled Montana river voyage – an adventure that seamlessly blends luxury, nature, and the rich history of the region.
