Boat Tours
Enjoy some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the Rocky Mountains by taking a boat tour from Canada to the United States. View majestic towering cliffs, unusual geological formations, beautiful waterfalls, snow clad mountain peaks, and the international border.
Remember to bring your camera, because tour boats make photographic and wildlife stops. Quite often bald eagle, bear, moose, deer, mountain sheep and goats can be spotted.
Boat tours offer both indoor and outdoor seating, twin powered motors for safety, and are Coast Guard Certified each year. The tours are accompanied by informative and entertaining commentary delivered by experienced tour guides.
Cruises can be up to two hours long, and easily accommodate stops at Goat Haunt - the northern gateway to Glacier National Park. You can disembark at this beautiful, sheltered, uncommercialized area for a short visit to the visitors center. The center features exhibits on park history and animal life. U.S. Immigration allows Canadian and U.S. citizens with suitable ID to remain at Goat Haunt to hike. The most popular hike at Goat Haunt is Kootenai Lakes. Kootenai Lakes is only 4 km from Goat Haunt and is considered one of the best moose habitat areas in the park.
The Crypt Lake hike is one of the most unique hikes you'll ever encounter. The hike features a 15 minute boat ride across the Upper Waterton Lake to Crypt Landing, the trailhead for the hike. The trail leads past 4 spectacular waterfalls: Hell Roaring Falls (1 km), Twin Falls (3.5 km), Burnt Rock Falls (5.6 km) and Crypt Falls (8 km). A highlight for many is the steel ladder and 60 foot tunnel through the mountain. After a short maneuver along the cliff (with cable for added security), you will arrive at beautiful Crypt Lake.
