Are they all sold out?

Question

Looking to book Many Glacier boat ride for early July, and it looks like they are all booked. I just looked the other day and they were wide open so wondering if it’s a glitch?

Answer

It sounds like the Many Glacier boat ride is a popular attraction, and it’s possible that the availability has changed quickly due to high demand, especially in early July. While it’s frustrating when things are fully booked, there are a few possibilities to consider:

Availability Change: It's possible that all the available spots have been booked since your last search. Many Glacier is a sought-after location, and tours can fill up quickly, especially during peak season (like early July). The availability you saw earlier may have been updated in real time.
Glitch or Error: While it's unlikely, there could be a glitch or website error that temporarily showed availability when there wasn't any. Try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache to ensure you're seeing the latest data. It's also worth trying a different browser or device.
Waitlist or Cancellations: Some boat tours have a waitlist option in case of cancellations. Check to see if you can add your name to a waitlist or monitor the site periodically in case spots open up. Cancellations are common, especially closer to the date of the tour.
Alternate Booking Platforms: Consider checking other platforms or tour operators that may offer similar boat rides in the Many Glacier area. Sometimes, third-party booking services have different availability or offer the chance to book through secondary sellers.
Different Time Slots: If the exact time you’re looking for is sold out, try booking an alternative time, even if it’s a bit later or earlier than you originally planned. Sometimes availability opens up at different times of the day or as people adjust their plans.

If you’re set on the Many Glacier boat ride, it's a good idea to call or email the official Glacier National Park reservations team directly for any possible options or advice. They might be able to help you find a spot or direct you to other options for getting out on the water, such as nearby alternatives.

Lastly, keep an eye on the official Glacier National Park website for any updates, changes in availability, or new opportunities for booking. Tours in high-demand locations like Many Glacier often fill up quickly, so booking early is key, but it’s worth checking in case any openings appear.
