Our Guided Tour in the BADLANDS

STARWEST ADVENTURES offers Guided Float trips, from Mid-May until October 1st.

We offer guided tours to both small and large groups on the Wild & Scenic Upper Missouri River. We furnish tents, camping equipment, all river meals, canoes, paddles, vests, roundtrip river shuttle services, and of course experienced river guides.

 
We offer two separate 3-day/2-night tours or one 7-day/6-night tour. The 3-day/2-night tours travel through the WHITE CLIFFS Section of the Upper Missouri River or will expose you to the BADLANDS section of the river. Our 7-day/6-night tour includes the ENTIRE 149 mile corridor of the Wild & Scenic River. The longer tour is offered to groups of 8 or more people.  On our Guided Float Trips, you'll not only spend time on the water, but takes side tours off the river on the many hiking trails that are offered.

Your river guides will take care of the necessities, including camp set up, cooking, cleaning, and pointing out the many things to see. You will be provided a roomy tent (2 people per tent) for your home while on the river. We utilize the river for daily bathing. Stories, readings, and possibly a few games will entertain you around the campfire.

STARWEST ADVENTURES can handle groups up to 25 people. Group rates are offered when 8 or more sign up at the same time, from the same group. Our unique Canoe Catamaran set-up is offered to 6 or less people, but we can utilize additional canoes to accommodate any size group, up to 25 in number.
