10 AM Picnic Paddle (Lunch included)

Overview

Our Picnic Paddle is a 6 mile adventure great for couples, families and friends. Choose from a single kayak, tandem or even a triple! After a brief orientation, your guide will lead your group along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, escorting you to West Thumb Geyser Basin. We take multiple breaks at scenic points along the route to stretch our legs and experience the grandeur of the lake. After touring the Geyser Basin, where dozens of geothermal features are visible above and below the water's surface, we will return along the same route, stopping for a picnic lunch and a chance to explore along the shore of the lake, arriving back at Grant Marina around 2PM. Return time may vary depending on group size, weather, fitness, etc.

This was such a wonderful all around experience. Natty was great, knowledgeable about the paddling, the lake and the park. He was easy to talk to and friendly. We had a great group and Natty spent the time to engage with and get to know a little about everyone on our trip. One of my friends was a bit hesitant at first having issues with balance in the kayak, Natty offered a variety of options and was able to work with him through the issue without giving up. My friend was able to paddle. The lunch spread was incredible and impressive. Travel bocci ball was a plus! We had so much fun, it was well worth the price and more. What a peaceful fun way to see some of the park. We were also very appreciative of the care he took with the natural features of the park and the animals, ensuring that none of us got close enough to do any harm. He is a great steward of the park and all its wonderful aspects.

Wow, you are too kind Tammy! Such a great trip with ya'll and so glad we get everyone out on the water. That was indeed a bocci ball game for the ages. Tell your friends to come see us up here in Yellowstone!

Natty is the BEST! So kind and knowledgeable! Was a wonderful experience kayaking with him. He shared so many insights into the geography and science behind the incredible nature he guided us through... and that actually made the rest of our time in Yellowstone so much more enjoyable as well!
