Montana tours & holidays

The best way to get to Montana depends on where you're travelling from, but visitors to the state either drive (if you're visiting from a neighbouring state) or catch a flight if you're visiting from the other side of the country or from overseas.

Driving will often take longer but allows you greater flexibility to stop and soak in Montana's natural beauty along the way. It's also easily accessible via the state's three major interstates.

If you're keen on flying, there are 5 international airports in various cities in Montana including airports in Billings, Missoula and the state's capital Helena. These airports offer plenty of both international and domestic flights with airlines such as American Airlines, Delta and United. 

There really is no best time to visit Montana as there's plenty to do in each season. However, the most popular time to visit the outdoorsy state is during summer when the temperatures are warm without being too uncomfortable (average temp in the mid 20°Cs). But this also means increased accommodation and activity prices and larger crowds in cities and national parks.

If you want to avoid the crowds but still enjoy nice weather, the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn are ideal as temperatures linger between 14°C and 17°C.

Yes, technically Yellowstone National Park extends into Montana (and Idaho) but is largely located in the northwest corner of Wyoming. 

Montana is known to be an outdoorsy state, so remember to pack your hiking boots or comfortable walking shoes - chances are you'll be spending a lot of time outside (with good reason). You should also pack plenty of sun protective gear such as sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses, especially if you travel in summer.

Other notable items to pack include:

• a reusable drink bottle
• a day bag/backpack
• a camera
• insect repellant
