Great question! Our Adventure Headquarters is located at 8955 Hwy 93 N Olney MT 59927; but we offer various meeting locations to better serve you. Depending on the ride style you’re seeking, we may have you come straight to HQ or we may ask you to meet us at one of the many trail heads in the valley. 

Thanks for asking! We do deliver, and pick up too. If you request delivery within 10 miles of 8955 Hwy 93 N, there is no charge. If you wish to ride outside of that area we charge $100 per direction, per machine, to within 20 miles of that location. Every where else is based on mileage to delivery location.

Absolutely. First, we make sure you have a general idea of where you are currently at. Second, we equip our RZR’s with a GPS tablet that has maps downloaded for you to follow based on what type of riding you want to do- what you want to see and how long you plan to ride for. Our ATV’s do not have the tablets, but we give you a map- or you can download one to your phone, that we can give you the link for. Google Maps allows you to download maps so if you are not in service range- you can still find your way. 

We have emergency beacons on all of our off-road equipment, in the event you have an actual emergency, you simply use the beacon and EMS will be notified. All machines are tracked via satellite for location. Help will be sent to that location immediately. 

Lastly, if you are worried you do have the option of hiring a Guide, but not usually same day- so be sure to book ahead.

While we do our best to help make sure your ride is unique, safe, and memorable, we simply can’t tell you every little spot we love. There’s not enough time in the day, not even to stop at all the stops on one route! That’s why we say your ride is unique- today’s will be different from tomorrow’s. We can pretty much guarantee it. We are located at the convergence of 3 forest systems, which has a history of its own; plus the little timber townships of Olney, and Radnor, not to mention the trails, like “Fort Steele”. If you ever want a good read, look up the Fort Steele Trail (1890’s). See? We’ve already taken up a fair amount of time just trying to tell you one small thing. Like many places, Olney has a rich history, lots of gems, a million spots only the locals know and so much more. Why “Get the Guide”? Because you have no idea how much you’re missing out on without one: From hard to find trails to gorgeous waterfalls and old cabins…and so much more. 

There are some pretty cute cabins on the lakes around here. Some are found on VRBO and AirB’nB, while others are exclusively rented to our guests. You can go camping pretty much anywhere on the Stillwater Forest, but make sure you get your recreation permit! (you can do that on the DNRC website). There’s also the Mt Marston Lookout you can rent- but hurry, it books fast!

You can stay at a Lodge if you prefer: there’s Beaver Lake Bike Retreat and Dog Creek Lodge and Nordic Center nearby, or one of the many fine hotels in Whitefish, just a hop, skip ‘n jump up the road.

Given Montana is a bit finicky in the weather department, we always suggest light layers, keeping your bathing suit underneath it all- in case you want to go swimming. 

There’s about 20 lakes just in our riding area: by mid-day in the summer, you’ll be wishing you could jump in one. 

Keep a lightweight jacket or windbreaker for your outside layer. 

Long sleeves, long pants and close-toed shoes: this is not only the perfect riding gear; it is what we require for ATV and RZR rentals. 

We provide helmets and goggles. 

Just like with the RZR’s- we suggest wearing light layers. However, that’s where the similarity ends. We do not allow wearing shorts or tank tops alone- when riding. You don’t have the same cover of protection and if you’re on the trails, you will definitely come up against stray branches. We don’t want to see you get scratched. While it sounds like it would be no big deal, and it probably will be- there is a risk of infection, besides just being dang old irritating. 

Long sleeves, long pants, closed-toe shoes- but we prefer at least hiking style boots. 

We provide the helmets and goggles.

Actually, we might say: Yes. Depending on the time of day you plan to be going out on the water.

Whether you’re on a Paddleboard, in a Kayak or even if you’re up off the water on one of the boats- it’s chilly in the early morning. Wear light layers. Be prepared to strip down to your shorts or bathing suit, as the afternoons are hotter than hot out on the water with no shade. Bring your favorite sunscreen or use ours. 

You can also ask for an umbrella… we usually have a couple on hand.

A lot actually. For starters the Pontoon Deck boat is a flat deck boat that really is more like a floating dock, with rails and a motor. We do have a swim ladder but you need to request it if you’re using it for swimming. The purpose of the bare minimum on this boat is to allow for multiple uses. Some prefer to take their family out fishing and swimming. The arrangement of using collapsible chairs is perfect for long periods on the water while allowing the kids plenty of floor space for stretching out and moving around, while at the same time giving the folks who are fishing ample room to have the edges for casting and moving about. The downside to this style boat is that it does not have a bimini. We do however, have a large shade umbrella that we send out with it. 

The Pontoon boat is more what people are used to seeing. With wrap around seating, limited floor space, has extra storage, bigger motor and bimini, style Pontoon boat. While it does have the two seats for fishing behind the driver, the space for moving about while anchored is limited and there’s no collapsing or moving items to create space once anchored. 

We have folks who take both styles out and like them equally well for what they intend to use them for. 

All boats come with life-jackets (PFD’s)

Instead of ‘at par’ we offer a discount of 20% . Canadian exchange rates fluctuate pretty dramatically sometimes and can be time consuming to keep up with unless you go with a weekly plan-then you need to make sure you do the exchange back at just right the time. So instead: We offer a discount. 

Our friends in Canada, literal and figurative, have done a fair amount of participating in our business and we appreciate their support. In every thing from our races to our rentals, they’ve been proud supporters of Action Rentals and many of the businesses in the Olney and Whitefish areas. We would like to support them too- and the best way we can think of, without trying to incorporate the exchange rate every week is to offer a flat rate discount. 

We are so glad you asked this!
After you’ve decided what you want to rent, you need to consider how you want to ride:
With a Public Guide?
No additional cost. Our public guides leave at 2 designated times: 9 am and 1 pm.
Public guided trips simply means that your ride may be with other individuals. Our guides are very good at determining travel needs of a group and will adjust the route and timing to accommodate all travelers. This does not mean an in-line, 10 mph scenic tour. If you need a different ride style, or don’t want to be with a group, consider a Private Guide.

With a Private Guide?
Additional fees apply (Half day $100; Full day $175; gratuity is not included) Private guides have a little flexibility with leave times, you can discuss this with staff at the reservation desk. Private guide rates are per group, not per individual, so if you have 4 of you going out- that’s still the rate, and still your guide only.

No Guide?
Unguided rentals are available, we simply require a damage deposit in the amount of your opted preference for general protection or premier protection for damages. What does that mean exactly? If you opted for basic protection (maximum out-of-pocket in the amount of $3000.00) then we would request an authorization on your credit card, after rental fee is paid, in the amount of $3000, which will be released after return of the machine and its inspection for damages, provided there are no damages.
If you opted for the premier protection for $15 (maximum out-of-pocket in the amount of $1500.00) then we would request an authorization on your credit card, after rental fee is paid, in the amount of $1500, which will be released after return of the machine and its inspection for damages, provided there are no damages.
