This option is great for summer trips or Spring/Fall trips with warm air temps and you can extend those seasons further if you have a dry suit. We also offer the caribou with cargo fly if you want to have in-tube storage options or if you’re looking for a similar option with an all-purpose raft with a spray skirt instead of a self bailing floor you can check out the Classic with whitewater spray deck.
Shipping
Shipping is auto calculated at check out for the 1st raft, however, shipping for 2nd, 3rd and 4th identical rafts must be added on in the product add-ons section (if you are getting several different types of rafts shipping should auto-calculate at checkout accurately without add-ons). Round trip shipping is $40/1 raft, $50/2 rafts, $60/ 3 rafts and $70/4 rafts for rafts shipped in Montana. Rafts shipped outside of Montana start at $50/1 raft and go up from there depending on the shipping time and number of rafts. Please contact us directly (phone or email) to book groups of 5 or more rafts. If shipping is incorrect at checkout, your card will be refunded/charged accordingly. Please see shipping rate chart in FAQ for more info.
Our booking system doesn’t work perfectly, so if the days you want are unavailable, it doesn’t hurt to call or email us to double check that it isn’t an error on our website! 406-272-6468 backcountrypackrafts@gmail.com
