Paddle Board Trips
Paddle Boarding Trip
Want to be more active? Experience Idaho’s Kootenai River on a stand-up paddle board. Our SUP tour explores thirteen miles of the peaceful and scenic canyon section of the Kootenai. Don’t worry about getting tired—a guide will be traveling with you by boat in case you need a break. Your guide will share in-depth knowledge about the local flora and the area’s history. Like the scenic tour, the SUP tour includes a stream-side lunch and time to explore while your guide prepares lunch. In addition to the stunning canyon scenery, wildlife sightings are common. You may see bald eagles, osprey, herons, ducks, deer, elk, bears, and other animals.

EXCELLENT Based on 194 reviews Posted on Jim DunstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the third summer that my wife and I fished with Long Drift Outfitters. This was out fifth and sixth guide trip there. This year we and our friends fished with Noah and Mike. We had a great time as usual. Mike and Noah put us on plenty of fish on both days. Along with great fishing, the lunches were first rate. We are looking forward to next years trip with the guys from Long Drift Outfitters.Posted on KR SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend.Posted on mtdebh20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a chance to go down the beautiful Kootenai River with Long Drift Outfitters. I had my very first fly fishing experience. I was with a group and we had 4 boats. The guides were very competent boat handlers and avid fishermen. They coached me and others through the initial stages and made it fun and interesting. Their knowledge on species, history, geology and land was interesting and thought provoking. Lunch was great and filling and I felt safe, cared for, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Many thanks to Aaron, Michael, CJ and Conner! Great job!Posted on vicki labruscianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. two wonderful days on the water with Noah and Mike. Excellent guides with wonderful fishing both days. Scenery was amazing and we had the river to ourselves the entire time. I would recommend Long Drift Outfitters to anyone wishing to have a great fishing experience with understanding guides and plenty of fishing experiences.Posted on John LarsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great day drifting and Heath was a great teacher in re-learning how to fly fish in a beautiful setting.Posted on Therese HotvedtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the best day out on the river with our guide Heath. Was very knowledgeable and fun! Had the best time and our boat caught the most fish of the day. Our family has been three times and never disappoints. Highly recommend!Posted on S TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had Connor as our guide and we had a fantastic day on the water! It was our first time fly fishing from a boat and Connor was so patient with us. We both successfully caught fish and learned so much about the technique of fly- fishing. We thought of our boat as the "party boat" as we brought a speaker and some drinks and thoroughly enjoyed the day on the river. Thank you for the great day!Posted on Max BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were celebrating our father/son retirements. Dad from business and son from 22 years military service. What a great time we had. Our guide, Skylar was great. Taught us fly fishing. Placed us in spot after spot where the trout were. He was a great teacher with much patience and expert advice. The scenery was specatular. We highly recommend Long Drift Outfitters. Whether novice fly fishermen like us or experienced you won't be disappointed. THANK YOU for a wonderful time and a lifetime memory!Posted on Shelly PickettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
