Super cool day on the yellowstone lake. Very friendly guides and the jokes were coming from all sides haha. Got to see a big bunch of elk and even saw the bauld Eagle which was cool. Value for money is amazing and not to mention the lunch they provided everyone at the end included in the price of the trip was fantastic!! I have never had a turkey sandwich so packed in all my life, was great and left the trip with a full belly. Definitely coming back next season to book again with friends.

A kayak paddle on Yellowstone Lake is a great way to start the day before moving on to afternoon activities. We begin the tour at 10AM to beat the wind and waves that can form later in the day. Launching in the evening can be quite dangerous. Safety is our priority. Your kayak instructor will provide a safety briefing and introduce you to the kayaks and paddle strokes. The tours have a ratio of 6-guests-to-1-guide. The minimum age to join is 14. Once underway, we journey from the Grant Village Marina to the West Thumb Geyser Basin. The sight of the steaming geyser basin forms a lifelong memory. Enjoy the big mountain views of the Absaroka Range across the lake. Getting out on the water is a unique way to experience the Park. Our tours are fun! But, we also have a passion for the Park and enjoy sharing information about the flora, fauna, and history of the region. Tours include morning hot drinks and light snacks, as well as lunch on an off the beaten path beach.

The West Thumb Geyser kayak tour was absolutely stellar!!! Spencer was a great guide we had terrific weather! It was very cool to see where the geysers meet the water. The lunch was extremely generous with a sandwich, fruit, drinks, chips, granola bars and candy!!

We kayaked at 8am - freezing cold to start and gorgeous beautiful warm to end. Josh took great care of us, offering some interesting info about the area and making small talk. Lunch was hearty. Loved the whole morning!

Could not ask for a more perfect experience. It was sunny, clear, and calm. The views were spectacular. Josh and Emily Jo were great guides.

Josh was an amazing guide! He made sure everyone was together and felt included and was very knowledgeable! It was a very fun experience. My girlfriend was very nervous because she’s never kayaked but afterward she said it was a very chill experience. I recommend it even if you are a beginner!
