This guided kayaking tour in Yellowstone National Park, includes an introduction to Yellowstone's history and geology of the Lake, along with the kayaking equipment and techniques, then your guides lead you around the shoreline to the West Thumb Geyser Basin where there are many geothermal features on land and under water we will explore from our kayaks, many of which are not accessible by any other means. We explore from our kayaks this primitive geyser basin where there are no signs, no boardwalks and most importantly no other people.

All children 12 and under must paddle in a tandem kayak with an adult. If booking with children, you must choose the tandem kayak option. This is the rate per kayak, for 2 people.
If you wish to have single kayaks (not available for children under 13), the rate is per person.
Please advise any dietary requirements in the Special Requirements field at checkout. Vegetarian and gluten free lunches are available if you let us know.
Please come dressed for cold weather, as it is usually colder in Yellowstone than you are expecting. Keep in mind that while kayaking, you will get wet. The weather in Yellowstone can vary greatly, and change quickly. Typically the days are sunny with temps in the upper 60's to low 80's, however it does get cold at night and early morning. Afternoon showers and passing thunderstorms are always possible in the mountains. We plan to go in rain or sunshine. We will provide all the necessary kayaking equipment. You should arrive dressed according to the weather, keeping in mind that while you wont ever be submerged in the water, you will get wet. Therefore dressing in layers is always best, with shorts or wind pants made of synthetic quick drying material, and shoes that you dont mind getting wet. Having a rain or wind jacket, extra layers, and/or a change of warm dry clothes for after the trip ends, is also a good idea. Guide gratuities are always appreciated, but never expected. If you have any questions any time, please dont hesitate to ask.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

The guide was great and very knowledgeable about the area, the water was beautiful, and all in all it was a wonderful way to spend the day enjoying the beauty that God created. Thinking about a longer trip.

Our paddle to the geyser basin on Yellowstone Lake was absolutely amazing! My husband and I lucked out to have the BEST guide we could have ever asked for! Brian was a true professional in every sense! Not only was he safety conscience and an excellent paddling instructor his depth of knowledge of Yellowstone ecology and history was captivating and engaging! I highly recommend this kayaking trip and ask to take a trip being guided by Brian. It will definitely be a favorite memory of Yellowstone!
